[Album Review] Supersonic (3rd Single Album) – fromis_9

4 hours ago 3

fromis_9 is gearing up for a comeback in June with a reformed lineup of 5 members (Song Ha Young, Park Ji Won, Lee Na Kyung, Lee Chae Young, and Baek Ji Heon), after it was announced that the group would not renew their contracts with Pledis Entertainment and that Lee Sae Rom, Roh Ji Sun and Lee Seo Yeon would be departing the group. It is time to review their last album release as an 8-member group ahead of the comeback. Supersonic (the single album) was released long overdue in July 2024, with the title track of the same name and 2 additional side tracks.

Despite the long hiatus between Supersonic and their previous album, Unlock My World, fromis_9 proved they were still on the ball with a chart-topping hit and 2 impressive side tracks. More on the songs can be found below.

2. Beat The Heat – The one thing that Beat The Heat could have done better is cohesion, as the rest of the track is pretty good. The single has a bit going on, but it doesn’t overwhelm. But those bridging moments are quite tight, and I wish they were a little more breathable. It maintains its upbeatness all throughout the song and sounds well-suited for the summery period in which it was released. I found the slightly descending melody in the first chorus quite abstract initially, but it grew on me over time. The group delivered everything else nicely. A great song, overall. (9/10)

3. Take A Chance – Beautiful vocals make Take A Chance a stunning listen. I enjoyed the contrast between the consistently beating instrumentation and the delicate melodies. And in addition to the beautiful vocals, I love how sweet and nostalgic everything came to be. It is a perfect song for a nice breezy day in Summer and the new chapter they are embarking on for each of their careers. (10/10)
