To further support my point, even aespa, who is known for loud and experimental title tracks, has gone this route with “Better Things” this past summer.
Billlie released “BYOB” as a single. I should have mentioned this earlier.
Most of tripleS’s discography is also like this.
XG actually takes on this same sound, although they like to mix it up with hard-hitting rap verses like in “SHOOTING STAR.”
LE SSERAFIM’s “Perfect Night” actually sounds like XG’s style vocally and instrumentally. It’s got that 2000s R&B sound mixed with a bit of retro ‘80s and city pop.
