aespa Takes Things to the "Next Level" in Latest Music Video

aespa, the virtual hybrid K-pop group introduced by SM Entertainment last year, has now returned for their third single, "Next Level." The release follows up on their sophomore track "Forever," a remake of the 2000s song of the same title.

Prior to dropping the music video, aespa's members KARINA, NINGNING, WINTER and GISELLE announced in a press conference that "Next Level" is "a completely new-born remake of the original soundtrack ‘Next Level’ from the movie Fast & Furious: Hobbs & Shaw." The powerful tune boasts hip-hop beats and a catchy bass riff, with the quartet telling the story of aespa's universe. The accompanying visual captures the four musicians on an adventure to a world called "KWANGYA" to find "Black Mamba" – a villain disrupting the world powered by SYNK.

In addition to the release, the K-pop group teased that they have an upcoming album in the works. Stay tuned as we learn more, and make sure to stream "Next Level" via major platforms like Spotify and Apple Music below.
