вЂNext LevelвЂ™ is a continuation of вЂBlack MambaвЂ™, a dance and hip-hop song which journeys into the fictional Kwangya universe in search of evil. The former, which was released in November last year, is a catchy electropop track about a being called Black Mamba who interferes with the connection between Aespa and their avatars, which causes a threat to their world. AespaвЂ™s debut singles, вЂBlack MambaвЂ™ and вЂNext LevelвЂ™, were intense performances with powerful storylines. вЂњIвЂ™m trying adapt my voice to singing more rock and rock ballads,вЂќ says Giselle, who cites Stevie Wonder, Ariana Grande and Blink-182 as her inspirations. Their music looks set to reinvent what K-pop typically sounds like with a more creative and innovative approach-one that breaks the usual construct of fitting into a specific music genre. Vogue SingaporeвЂ™s October 2021 bonus cover The groupвЂ™s name originates from a combination of вЂaeвЂ™, from the English initials of вЂavatarвЂ™ and вЂexperienceвЂ™, and вЂaspectвЂ™, which symbolises the two sides of meeting another self.
