In between comebacks, A.C.E have usually launched particular singles of assorted genres. Most of those songs really feel extra like appetizers than full programs, permitting the group to dabble in numerous music markets with English-language performances. Supernatural arrives in an English and Korean model. I’ll be linking the Korean model as a result of every time given the prospect that’s the one I’ll select.

With Supernatural, A.C.E attempt on a light-weight funk-pop makeover. Suppose BTS’s English-language hits — huge tent pop with feel-good rhythms and sugary hooks. That is all the time an amiable method, however can usually really feel smoothed of its edges and radio sanitized. That is very true once you’re as dynamic a bunch as A.C.E, who concurrently introduced hardstyle and sizzling pants into the idol dialog again in 2017.

Supernatural is strong however unremarkable. It’s a music composed by recipe: two cups rhythm guitar, a touch of whistling. And like all boxed cake combine, it’s reliably tasty. Nevertheless, there’s no ingredient that pulls this away from the pack. A.C.E’s efficiency is robust however held again by the constraints of the music. It might make a pleasant album b-side, however I can see why this wasn’t chosen as a full-on comeback monitor.
