에스파 aespa "Next Level" (Revamped)
Музыка
Idk, I actually really like the track. The initial bassline is really nice, big Jetpack Joyride theme vibes. I can see why people dislike it though and prefer other experimental SM tracks like IGAB and Zimzalabim, so here's a more cohesive version.
Working on a full version of the r&b/'beat drop' section!

Just a reminder that Revamps aren't made to be better/fix/replace the original, they're just there to offer a new interpretation. If you like the original better, that's great! If you like this version, that's cool too. Its all a matter of preference

personally, i didn't have much of a problem with the original being so... sectionalized? i feel like the original is clearly set into sections that fit that particular vibe and then (rather abruptly) switches to a different vibe and section... but this overall felt more connected which was pretty cool! i also liked this alternative dance break part (again, i didn't mind the original but this is super cool and nice to listen to as well!).

@@ZSunder It is better if the producer of Aespa's NEXT LEVEL made a whole music for the switch up part and it's gonna be a bop. Aespa's Next Level switch up part didn't really a good match to the whole song or the most part of the song 'Next Level'. And the switch up part of the song has shown the talent of Karina and Giselle where they're Rappers which makes the switch up part a good part of the song. But again, the switch up part is not a good match for the song.

Fun fact: the original you meant is not even an original
I think this revamp gave me exactly what I felt the original was missing: something to fill the empty space. I think the original Next Level was so similar to the F&F track that it ended up sounding like action movie background music rather than a standalone song. Still good music, just a little empty and repetitive for my taste. The extra adlibs, harmonies, and subtle changes in the instrumental here really added to the song, IMO, and it kept the whole thing fresh and interesting without having to rely on a switch-up in the bridge (even though that bridge was my favorite part of the original and it's not here anymore, lol). Props to you, ZSunder!!

Tbh this sounds so much more modern and futuristic than the original. I didn't like the original very much because the instrumental was very repetitive and kinda outdated sounding. If you compare it to NCT's songs which always have amazing instrumentals then aespa's song was kinda disappointing. I hope SM will give the girls a song that will suit them and not just a remake.
It sounds like a futuristic spy film. The bass sounds so good. It also makes the song cohesive (Especially the part with the dance break). it felt like a space was filled.

The overall change made it more pop-sound-conforming and it actually sounds like something f(x) would've sung in their time with some modern/futuristic addition. I really like this one better than the original because you always enrich the song with cool backing sounds and harmonies and never put noisey drums to conform the song into an emd-trap based trend, you simply improve the existing sound by making decent yet impactful adjustments. Amazing work! ❤

the problem that i had with the song is that it's random and it sounds like that part was supposed to be another song but they didn't know what to do with it and put it in next level, the instrumental is the same and they only put some vocal effects to the chorus to make it sound different, and the la la la la part is also random and it doesn't make sense with the song, that's it, thanks for reading my tedtalk 😌💅

when will entertainment companies just hire zsunder already? Like damn. This revamp also makes this song sound appreciably different from the ORIGINAL original song that it's a remake of. The only thing is that I am kind of missing the r&b vocals from the original beat drop section a little bit. But I could see it being a bit difficult to fit those in a cohesive way.
THE FILTERED HIGH PITCHED BASS STEM USED AS A LEAD SYNTH IN THE SECOND VERSE AAAAAGH
I personally LOVED Next Level and prefer the original over this version, however I'm definitely in love with the part from 2:15-2:32 the synths make it feel so other-worldly which definitely suits aespa's concept!

The original is good and strangely addicting at the same time despite of its messy/experimental arrangement that will grow to you in the next listens. While, ZSunder’s version connected all the dots by replacing the groovy part to an actual beatdrop which is actually impressive and easier to listen than the original. I love both anyways, so please support both versions.
Something so simple as switching a couple parts and actually doing a beat drop when they say "beat drop" took this song to the next level. The first just felt so disorganized to me, but this is perfect.

While there are some things I prefer about the original like the anticipation the original pre chorus builds, I love how satisfying the chorus and the beat drop dance break is in this version. I think the original builds up a lot of anticipation and then doesn't commit to going hard in the chorus. While I like the r&b section I think it doesn't fit. I'd rather enjoy it as it's own full and separate song. I'd love to see a mix of the original verse and pre chorus instrumentation with this version's chorus and beat drop.
