"Supernova" is a pre-release and one of the title tracks for Aespa's first full album, Armageddon, coming out on May 27 ("Armageddon" is going to be the other title track). "Supernova" is Aespa first -real-* single of 2024 after the release of "Drama" (Review) on November 10,2023.
"Supernova" Review
As I wrote before in my review of "Drama", I love almost every song by Aespa, and "Supernova" is not an exception. This song sounds like something you hear in a car commercial or a runaway show -especially in the MV scenes where Ning Ning is walking- and immediatly have to search for the song.
I love the bass in the background throughout the song, and to be sincere, the whole instrumental is truly amazing. This song is so Aespa-coded that I loved every part of it -can't even choose my favorite part-.
In this MV the Aespa members have new powers Karina has super strenght, Giselle can manipulate time, Winter can fly and Ning Ning has pyrokinesis. This MV looks like a villain origin story for Giselle as Karina and Ning Ning ruin her birthday. Karina punches a bullet at Giselle's phone, and Ning Ning breaks through a wall and starts a fire in Giselle's apartment. Meanwhile, Winter flies through town and spins on a pole (? I loved the ending of the MV I found it very funny.
Style-wise, I loved every look in this MV. They are very consistent with the style of the MV. My favorite looks are Giselle's black and yellow outfit with the arm cast decorated with gems and the group's metallic outfit at the end of the MV.
