Following a string of chart-topping EPs,
ZEROBASEONE
deliver their hooky and long-awaited full-length debut, 2025's
NEVER SAY NEVER
. Perhaps more than any of their K-pop peers,
favor a sound that believably updates the '90s and early-2000s style of classic boy bands like
NSYNC
and
New Kids on the Block
, with big pop choruses and plenty of hip-hop and electronic dance grooves underpinning the production. It's a vibe they champion on club-ready cuts like the disco-R&B-infused "ICONIK," "Dumb," and "Extra." There are also moments of romantic balladry, as in the slow jam "Lovesick Game" and the piano-driven "Long Way Back." ~ TiVo Staff
