A high-gloss explosion of early 2010s pop and R&B, defined by airtight four-part harmonies and a mix of gothic synth-pop and brassy empowerment anthems.

DNA is a striking debut that captures the exact moment a group finds its collective voice. It sounds like the neon-lit energy of 2012, blending the high-stakes drama of X Factor-era pop with a genuine reverence for 90s R&B vocal arrangements. The album oscillates between two poles: the bright, brassy optimism of tracks like 'Wings' and the darker, more obsessive electronic textures of the title track. It is an album that feels both carefully engineered for the charts and surprisingly personal, anchored by the fact that the four members co-wrote much of the material.
