KPop Demon Hunters (Soundtrack)

Format: LP + poster + photo card
Genre: Soundtracks

This soundtrack is more than meets the eye. A much more rewarding compilation than the tongue-in-cheek premise might suggest, it's led by strong performances from fictional in-film groups HUNTR/X and the demon-boyband Saja Boys, a collection of sleek, well-produced pop songs that genuinely stand in their own right. HUNTR/X's 'Golden' and Saja Boys' dark, gothic 'Your Idol' have deservedly crossed into pop success, but the soundtrack as a whole maintains consistent quality. 'Soda Pop' is a sly, boyband highlight, while 'What It Sounds Like' finds HUNTR/X is particularly stunning. The theme of excessive fandom gives the album an intriguing background to the music. The lush closing ballad 'Love, Maybe' and the cinematic 'Score Suite' wrap the album on a deeper note. Even TWICE's more conventional additions, like 'Strategy' provide enjoyable moments. Ultimately, this is a soundtrack that's entertaining and subtly thought-provoking, delivering catchy pop with a surprising depth unique to pop music.
