aespa hidden vocals : Anatomy of a song (Patreon)

AESPA ARE VOCALISTS!! WOW

In this episode, I dive into some of my favourite tracks from aespa's Lemonade album, including "Can't Help Myself," "My Plan," "WDA" and more, to explore what makes their vocals so distinctive.

While aespa are often praised for their strong technique, what stood out most to me was their individual vocal colour and personality. Each member brings a completely different tone to the music, making it easy to identify who's singing even when the harmonies become dense and layered.

Listening to the isolated vocals revealed just how much character exists within the group. From rich lower tones to bright, expressive upper registers, aespa's voices complement each other without ever losing their individuality.

Using my civilian, athlete, Olympian and world class ranking system, I break down the performances across the album and discuss why aespa's vocal blend, tone and personality might be among the strongest in 4th generation K-pop.
