Through this constantly shifting musical landscape, NU’EST sound like they’re on an arduous journey to reassure their lover. It begins as a sultry ballad à la Ciara’s “Promise,” abruptly shifts gears into a pre-chorus drawn from Ghost Town DJ’s “My Boo” and then fires off a dramatic chorus complete with post-dubstep wobbles. There’s an elegance with which “Overcome” traverses its many musical passages. The 13-member-strong WJSN found their sweet spot early in their careers with their sophomore release "Secret." The sublime synth-pop sound still acts as an anchor for the girl group to soundtrack their intricate dance formations and otherworldly music videos, all kicked off by this dreamy single. If their concept is “flying to the sky like a butterfly,” Yuju’s belted high notes take them there. “Navillera” elevates their discography to another level with squelching synths plucked out of a vintage anime opening. Aside from their wholesome image and impressive choreography, this six-piece shot to the top with a characteristic sound: orchestral pop melded with electric guitar. But GFriend pulled that off by giving their cute-concept-next-door a retro twist. It’s not easy to follow up your biggest hit with your best song.
