Eyes Wide Open

JYP Entertainment K-pop girl group TWICE plays a numbers game, and it’s a good thing their equation is a winner: TWICE fans are called ONCE, they boast nine members (Momo, Sana, Mina, Nayeon, Jeongyeon, Dahyun, Jihyo, Chaeyoung, Tzuyu), and their second full-length studio album, *Eyes wide open*, is ’80s and ’90s melancholy—their most enterprising release since debuting in 2015. “I CAN’T STOP ME” is revisionist ’80s pop-funk that could sit comfortably on Dua Lipa’s *Future Nostalgia* (notably, Lipa co-wrote the album closer, the ecstatic synth coda “BEHIND THE MASK”). Staccato riffs and rhythms introduce “HELL IN HEAVEN,” easing into the buzzing EDM of “BRING IT BACK,” the Euro-pop-meets-’90s-club of “BELIEVER,” and the marching band arena anthem “SHOT CLOCK.”

During a very busy year for the K-pop group, Twice issued their second Korean-language full-length, Eyes Wide Open.
