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 apologising for talking non-stop about the person they like, while “BEAT MY LOVE” is STAYC at their most ruminative.
