On their seventh EP, South Korean girl group
ITZY
bring their effortlessly cool energy and attitude to the six fresh tracks featured on
Kill My Doubt
. As the title suggests, the lyrical content of the effort focuses on overcoming self-doubt, and, backed by songs like these, there's enough to inspire anyone to new heights. "Bet On Me" and "Cake" are bright pop anthems, while "None of My Business" and "Bratty" amplify the beats and allure. For listeners pining for "bigger" K-pop bravado, "Psychic Lover" cranks up the energy with a hyperspeed chorus, while "Kill Shot" closes the short set with ominous synths and a thrilling, threatening aura. Upon release,
topped the Korean charts and rose to number two on the U.S. World Albums chart. ~ Neil Z. Yeung
