During a very busy year for the K-pop group,
Twice
issued their second Korean-language full-length,
Eyes Wide Open
. Following a Japanese compilation, a
K/DA
collaboration, and a chart-topping EP, the girls' sophomore effort contained more of their sleek, R&B-influenced dance pop, complete with harmonized vocals, effortless cool, and plenty of beats to keep the body moving. A fun and stylistic mix, the album features highlights such as the '80s synth pop-indebted lead single "I Can't Stop Me" and the smooth "Behind the Mask," co-penned with English pop diva
Dua Lipa
. Upon release,
became the group's highest U.S. chart showing to date, landing at number 72 on the Billboard 200. ~ Neil Z. Yeung
