TEXT TO BE EDITED:
[Ahead of the girl group’s release of their first full length album entitled Armageddon, aespa have made their mark on K-pop with “Supernova”. The track named after the explosion of a very large star, was not as explosive as the title suggest but still packed a punch. With it's rather sonically flat verses the song may prove a hit in the noraebang (Karaoke Room) as it’s relatively easy to sing with limited high and strenuous notes. The song progreses with a monotony similar to that of a high-speed train racing down a track. Regardless the master-ful pacing of the chorus is enough to leave you satisfied.
The imagery of an explosive star through out the song leaves listeners with an empowered feeling, with lyrics such as: Won't dare touch it no one ever will / Right now it's inside me su-su-su-supernova, suggesting that the reciter (in this case aespa) has something unique inside of them even if its difficult to see at first much like the rare ocurance of a supernova.]
