I Love

by (G)I-DLE

Overview

On their fifth Korean-language EP, K-pop quintet (G)I-DLE continue their playful, genre-blending approach with a handful of fresh, catchy earworms. I Love finds the newly minted quintet in strong, self-sufficient mode, tackling romance and love with attitude and a sly wink. Lead single "Nxde" introduces the set with witty kiss-offs as violin strings swell and a dramatic beat stomps on critics. The elastic cabaret of "Sculpture" follows in the same vein, just as the creepy "DARK (X-file)" injects a rebellious sense of danger with lines like "Wanna take a puff on my joint?" The anthemic pop/rock of "LOVE" and "Change" adds a serious, urgent energy to the mix, while "Reset" lends inspirational heft. There's something here for every type of fan, with a subversive message of self-love and self-care turning typical lovelorn pop fluff on its head. ~ Neil Z. Yeung
