Music Producer Reacts to Aespa - Savage

[@Djitterbug]

Didn't realise this had so many dislikes, that was surprising to see. I mean I didn't like it first listen but that's what every aespa song is like, now it lives rent-free in my head

[@devandhrew]

It was similar to next level for me, I had to listen to it a lot before I liked it. Its also not standard girl kpop song.

[@dane_ily]

I think the many dislikes is because of Giselle said the n word

[@lifefreedom9900]

I think i would be surprised if they wont do this kind of sound or music.. I really admire reactors who knows the background of the grpup's company or the group itself...

[@ChangLineShim]

Same here. I feel like if you've listened to Triangle by TVXQ, BOA, and The Trax and liked it, songs like aespa's and The Boys by SNSD aren't as jarring.

[@bobthehobo937]

THIS IS EXACTLY HOW I FEEL!!!!!!

[@CommanderCronus]

This is Kpop. The visual aspect is as important as the music, and vice versa. This is especially true when it comes to Aespa, as their whole concept is based around storytelling.

[@cayonaianjakem.9961]

@@cayonaianjakem.9961 you have it in the MV but for other people it would be better watching SMCU content. Next Level explains it well + the music does too and the lytics as well. So yeah for ppl that are bad to get lore through MV in general it is better watching exta content

[@avavago]

I felt the same the first time I heard it, the second verse was what got me as well. The last chorus did feel cluttered, but those adlibs plant something in your head and it all just eventually grows on you even if you don't go back to listen to it often. Now it might even be my favorite K-Pop release this year.

I think Aespa is amazing really because they are doing something so different with their music. It's so weird that you question if you like it or not.... then discover you've been humming it all day 😅😅 they are taking risks, where as a lot of other groups are keeping it safe lol I kinda love it but I usually have to listen to something for a whole week before I can decide if I like it or not 🤣

[@thisissneha_]

It's not them.. it's their company who made them an experimental song and if u read the lyrics u will know how cringe the song is..their voices are what saved the song plus the transition and adlibs are just forced in their every songs to call it unique..its generic either way.

[@ygdrake4206]

Savage was bearable..

[@_dionne]

I think most casual music listeners wouldn't appreciate this song at the 1st listen. For me, it requires a good amount of musicality to go deep into the song itself. There has been a lot of things going on in the song alone.. Most people think that it's a messy sound but all of them were actually mixed pretty well.. The beat and vocals are insane plus I really like the weird transitions. The whole album is a bop by the way.. Full of insane harmonies and vocal runs plus they're not aespa music if there aren't weird but perfect transitions..

[@pepperdayjackpac4521]

the ending part after the bridge with all those random sounds and high notes and the second part of the chorus with the harmony just sounds so sloppy and messy. Everything else is sound and well done, ez to enjoy.

I love how pretty much any song that SM does in general, switches up, has new styles and beats in the middle of the songs. Creating songs with multiple styles and sounds in one song is kind of SM signature thing. When you keep on experimenting you get something new, that’s how music or anything evolves. aespa being one of the groups who tries to change the whole dynamics and perspective of music so people either are going to love them or hate them for bringing the change.

[@Hakuu_A19]

[@terrydavis2887]

Follow the story folks.. that ending was the big battle with Black Mamba. Aespa is so original, so talented, so fresh for Kpop.

[@reggiemagdura877]

The amount of dislikes are not really for the music but for the artist (aespa) itself. Well lots of fandom are threatened on how successful aespa is, especially those 4th gen fandoms who got outshined by aespa and from some senior fandom who are either threatened or sees potential that aespa will become bigger than how they are today

At first I didn't care for the song but it's grown on me a bit and I'd say it's overall a good track. I don't mind the "weird" sounds but reallly wish they didn't have the spoken du-du-du-du, it just breaks my immersion. The group members all have such nice voices I wish SM gave them more trap-style beats and shifted the focus to singing/rapping longer more consistent verses/courses without so many adlibs, while keep the futuristic sounds since it gives them a unique flair from other groups that I think works so nice with their style.
