UXLXVE

Opening this release is ‘Scent’, a smooth R&B track with sultry vocals and groovy beats. The song’s airy vocal tone and intricate instrumentals make it a total ear-pleaser, sexy, refined, and undeniably alluring.

The title song ‘Rizz’ takes over next to rizz up listeners. This hip-hop/R&B-driven track boasts an insanely catchy progression, bouncy beats, and sleek vocal arrangements, from melodic rapping to flawless falsettos. As expected, the music video is a visual knockout, XLOV embraces their alternative edge, serving stunning visuals and unmatched charisma.

Switching gears, ‘Dirty Baby’ surprises with a Trap and R&B fusion that’s both dreamy and bold. Its inventive rhythm and textured layering make it an absolute standout, the kind of song that truly tickles the brain for music lovers.

‘Biii:-p’ dives into Hyperpop territory with quirky mixing and early-2000s-inspired beats. It’s playful, experimental, and irresistibly cute, a total vibe shift that feels fresh in XLOV’s discography.

Next up is ‘kiss and say goodbye’, the group’s first ballad, but far from conventional. This track’s emotional vocals, rich instrumentals, and shifting tempos create a full-on sonic journey. It’s heartfelt, cinematic, and easily one of our favorites from this EP.

Closing off the release is ‘Drip Drip’, a UK Garage-inspired gem with cool guitar riffs and an effortlessly trendy sound. The members’ smooth vocals and delicate ad-libs round things off beautifully, leaving listeners craving more.

XLOV’s first EP ‘UXLXVE’ is a total masterpiece, a no-skip release that solidifies their status as one of the most exciting new acts in K-pop. Each track shines on its own, yet together they create an experience that’s sleek, stylish, and endlessly replayable.
