when I first heard 'Eclipse' I couldn't stop playing it, and it's my favorite Kpop song of all time. Then I heard 'Touch' from Midas Hutch, and heard this sultry voice that sounded divine and rich and had to check it out. It was Charli Taft, and I've been hooked ever since. Her voice is just indescribable - in a time when so many people try to sound like others, hers stands out like a lighthouse in a beautiful storm. If I had access to their demos, I'd die a happy man.

About harmonization, all SM singer are great because they were trained for it. I don't know if you follow other SM artist because exo snsd fx nct tvxq suju etc are great in harmony and have diverse vocal, i bet they also can slay this song at ease like exo and snsd. And since SM artist are so talented singers, I believe aespa can slay this song, moreover their rap are the best in SM gg. Besides their singing ability, their rap can add more unique color to the song. So i believe it could be more impactful to be popular.
