Four tracks of bubbly, dynamic synth-pop. Love is gloriously straightforward on “2:LOVE,” a sparkling single from K-pop girl group STAYC. The song’s dynamic synths continue across all four tracks, par for the course for the six-member girl group known for bubbly bops like “ASAP,” “Bubble,” “Teddy Bear,” and “STEREOTYPE.” On “WHERE YOU AT?,” members Sumin, Sieun, Isa, Seeun, Yoon, and J declare that their love is real, clear, and ready to be accepted. “SORRY” sees them apologizing for talking nonstop about the person they like, while “BEAT MY LOVE” is STAYC at their most ruminative.
