“Metaverse girl group” aespa was selected as the June artist of “Up Next” by Apple Music.
aespa was successfully shortlisted in the June artists of “Up Next” released by Apple Music today (1st), and appeared on the homepage of Apple Music and iTunes around the world, once again confirming their high popularity and topicality in the world.
It is reported that Apple Music’s “Up Next” is a global event that selects and announces the most anticipated stars of the month for new artists from all over the world. After NCT 127 became the first Asian singer to be shortlisted in “Up Next” last time, and joined HER, Pink Sweat$, Conan Gray and other singers on the list, aespa became the second Asian singer to be shortlisted, so it is of great significance.
It is worth mentioning that aespa will take this entry into “Up Next” as a part of its promotional activities, and will be the first to release the song “Monster” from the second mini album “Girls” at 12:00 today (Beijing time) through Apple Music. Fire (Illusion)” pushed the anticipation of this comeback to a climax.
The new song “Illusion” is a hip-hop dance song with strong 808 bass and a catchy and punchy kick sound. The combination of the minimalist and trendy Track Sound and the freely retractable Rap is particularly eye-catching. The lyrics will compare the other party’s confused and engulfed heart to a strange fire, showing the unique color of aespa.
In addition, this single is the prelude to aespa’s second mini-album “Girls” released on July 8, and it will be available for pre-sale at major online and offline record stores in Korea from June 2.
