AESPA
The pre-release song from the second full album of AESPA (under the agency SM ENTERTAINMENT), “Wda (Whole different animal)”, will be available today at 6 PM KST on various music sites.
“Wda (Whole different animal)” is a dance track based on hip-hop, whose grandiose synth bass line and heavy hook provide a sense of oppression. Through lyrics illustrating the even more solid growth of AESPA, the track announces a new chapter of their universe.
In addition, G-DRAGON participated in the featuring as well as the rap making of his own part, thus completing an intense synergy with AESPA, which foreshadows an excellent reception.
Furthermore, the music video for “Wda (Whole different animal)”, which will be unveiled simultaneously on the SMTOWN YouTube channel, depicts an era where the boundary between the real and the digital becomes increasingly blurred, making it impossible to prove what is “true”. Beings having the faces of AESPA, but clearly not being AESPA, make their appearance. In this chaos and confrontation, the video captures AESPA finally overcoming their own cracks (Complaexity) and proving their existence again.
In particular, as AESPA is a group that, since its debut, has made its virtual ego ae-aespa the central axis of its universe to build a narrative where the real ego and the digital ego coexist, this music video is designed to naturally lead to asking the question “what is true?” in an environment where the boundaries between original and copy, reality and virtual fade, thanks to a staging reflecting the feeling of anxiety of an era where familiar images are constantly duplicated and consumed.
In addition, AESPA will host today starting at 5 PM KST, one hour before the release of the track, the “’WDA’ COUNTDOWN LIVE” on its YouTube and TikTok channels. They will take the time to discuss the new song and communicate with fans, which should amplify the anticipation for the return with the second full album.
Furthermore, all the songs from the second full album of AESPA, “LEMONADE”, will be available in digital version on May 29 at 1 PM KST, and the album will also be released in physical format.
