Review: aespa's second studio album 'Lemonade' mixes confidence and inconsistency
📰 Original title: aespa – ‘Lemonade’ review: harder and faster, but not always better or stronger

In their second studio album 'Lemonade', released on 29th May 2026 by SM Entertainment, K-pop group aespa continues to navigate the challenges of maintaining momentum after a string of major hits. The album follows successful 2024 tracks such as 'Supernova', 'Armageddon', and 'Whiplash', but arrives after some less impactful releases. aespa confronts the pressure of living up to their own high standards throughout the record. The opening track 'WDA (Whole Different Animal)', featuring G-Dragon, establishes a bold tone with its hip-hop dance style and synth-heavy production, emphasising resilience with lyrics about embracing danger and pressure. Standout moments include the rock-influenced 'Can’t Help Myself', which showcases strong vocal performances with distorted guitars, and the adaptable 'Switchblade' with its magnetic electronic sound. The title track 'Lemonade' delivers an infectious electronic dance vibe reminiscent of their earlier hit 'Spicy', promoting a positive attitude towards overcoming obstacles. However, the album has weaker points. 'Camouflage' attempts a hyperpop and dreampop blend but fails to commit fully, while 'Roll' features an awkward interpolation of a nursery rhyme. 'My Plan' offers competent R&B vocals but feels like filler. Overall, 'Lemonade' demonstrates aespa's enduring confidence and talent five years into their career, yet it struggles to consistently match the brilliance of their previous peak. The group proves they remain their own toughest competitors in the demanding K-pop industry.
i love this album, its so upbeat and the vibes are immaculate!! i really just wish some of these songs were longer and had more space to breathe tbh. thats my only issue, other than that i think this is brilliant. favourite song is "mas, que

the soundscape of this album is incredible, wow... i cant believe a song like tekka can exist right next to dsco and they can jointly be some of the coolest songs ive heard all year. velocity was pretty good, fruitcake and cookies and sept are both
this album is just as good as winning strip - a bit more crazy, but manages to keep its quality throughout the whole runtime. the production in this is as good as that album too. two songs blew me away though - やっつけ仕事 (大名遊ビ編)
this album is so fun, mixing a lot of different genres together (predominantly with pop and rock), with excellent production, and then her vocals on top which are great as well!! love it!! favourite song is 浴室, what a bop
