I wouldn’t say that (G)-IDLE’s Super Lady has grown on me, but I appreciate its bold EDM energy and commitment to old fashioned showmanship. With that said, the group feels far more at home on grittier material that evenly spreads its time between the members’ various tones.
Revenge falls much more in line with what I’d expect from (G)I-DLE, minus the oft-irritating gimmicks of their title tracks. Its rock edge and moody vibe bring weight to their sound and the anthemic chorus offers the chance for a robust vocal turn. The song still feels more indebted to style than substance — at least where solid melodic construction is concerned. When it comes down to it, the chorus is mostly just various chants strung together. There’s far too many “la la las” for my taste. The verses also rely on atmosphere and texture, lacking memorable points that differentiate them from similar efforts. But as a whole, this is one of the stronger (G)I-DLE efforts in recent memory.
