In this episode of Anatomy of a Song, I’m putting two very powerful 4th-gen sister songs head to head, NMIXX’s “Know About Me” and aespa’s “Armageddon.” Same generation, similar energy and I had to hear them stripped back.

I pull both tracks apart, listen to the bones, and react in real time to what actually carries the attitude: the vocals, the tension, the drama, and the little production choices that make these songs feel so bold. 

Get in to it!

I should love this series a lot more than I do, but for some reason the audio from the stems always comes across as muffled or peaking or low quality. Not sure if that's just how they sound or if there is something going wrong in the audio capture somewhere along the line. A lot of the time when you are pointing out details, especially with vocal harmonies I can't hear what you are talking about at all. Seeing as the whole point of breaking down stems is to hear details you wouldn't otherwise it is disappointing as a listener.

Oooo that's interesting, I feel like some stems are cleaner than others. It's annoying cos Logic can only do so much and i feel like some songs have better stems than others too but i'll keep trying to clean them up.
