231223 Paste Magazine: The 20 Best K-pop Albums of 2023 (aespa’s “MY WORLD” is ranked at #11)

• > aespa usually lean into hard-hitting EDM sounds more than most of their contemporaries, but My World, the first of two EP’s the quartet released this year, represents a softer switch for the band into something a tad more poppy. “Spicy” led the way with vibrant synths and a fire chorus, but it’s the B-sides that stuck with us most, including “welcome to MY world”—a smooth vocal showcase—and “Thirsty”—a dreamy R&B number that’s got us “sipping” up those harmonies all night and day.
