[Review] POW -‘Being Tender’ — A Soft and Sweet Comeback

POW returns with their third EP ‘Being Tender’, continuing their steady rise with a release full of charm, warmth, and emotional softness. Let’s take a closer listen to what they’ve prepared this time around.

Being Tender

The title track ‘Being Tender’ opens the EP with gentle vocals and layered harmonies, setting a tender tone right from the start. It’s soft, cute, and delicately crafted — showcasing POW’s playful yet heartfelt side. Each tempo change adds more depth, while solo sections highlight the members’ individual strengths. The music video is just as comforting, filled with warm visuals, sweet storytelling, and even a furry little surprise.

Next up is ‘Reason’, which begins with a beautiful melodic piano line. The rap-line stands out here with rhythmic and emotionally smooth verses, perfectly paired with soft vocals, falsettos, and a soulful delivery that deepens the track’s sentiment.

‘Whistle’ switches things up with an R&B/hip-hop blend. It’s stylish and rhythm-driven, filled with modern melodies, standout sectioning, and catchy chanting that lingers. POW delivers big here — it’s vibrant, energetic, and full of groove.

The EP wraps with ‘Fingerprint’, an upbeat yet controlled track powered by rhythmic piano and clever progression. It builds momentum with charm and closes the EP on an energetic, satisfying note.

‘Being Tender’ is another strong release from POW, showing their evolving artistry and consistent quality. This comeback proves their softness can be just as powerful as their edge. Give it a listen — you won’t regret it.
