67: Anatomy of a Song: Vocals Optional? A 5th Gen Girl Group Listening Test (NewJeans, BABYMONSTER & More))

In this episode of Anatomy of a Song, I’m doing a 5th-gen girl group vocal battle — but not in the way you’d expect. I strip back the production and listen to how the vocals actually hold up from NewJeans, HEARTS2HEARTS, BABYMONSTER, ILLIT, and tripleS. I was pleasantly surprised! I think people are underestimating the newer groups. 00:00 Intro & what this episode is 00:28 NewJeans — stripped vocals 06:12 BABYMONSTER — power & soul 13:06 ILLIT — technique over power 18:20 tripleS — blend & control 22:55 HEARTS2HEARTS — energy vs restraint 30:05 Final thoughts
