How does a group follow up their biggest release to date? In the case of K-pop act SEVENTEEN, they continue to grow their successes and release another mini-album in the same year. In April, the 13-member group released “FML,” their highest charting release. It spent nine weeks on the Billboard 200, peaking at No. 2 and sold millions of copies.

On the group’s 11th mini album six months later — titled “SEVENTEENTH HEAVEN,” a play on the English maxim “seventh heaven,” referring to a state of extreme elation — the group build off that exciting foundation across seven tracks. And there’s a lot to love, particularly in the first two tracks. “SEVENTEENTH HEAVEN” opens with an all-English language track, the Jersey club-meets-pop rock “SOS,” co-produced by. Contrast that with “God of Music,” the sunshine-y pop single with bright brassy touches — a life-affirming sing-along so nice they put it on the album twice.
Like on the retro electro-pop-meets-video game EDM of “Back 2 Back,” spotlighting the dance sub-unit , or thegothic rap “Monster,” courtesy hip-hop sub-unit and “Yawn,” a gorgeous piano ballad from the vocal sub-unit . As he has become known for, WOOZI contributed to writing the lyrics of all the tracks and the composition of most, save for “Monster” and “Headliner.” Across the release, other SEVENTEEN members stepped both in front of the mic and behind it, emphasizing this group’s ability to be involved with each step of the creative process. The result is a release that feels remarkably true to them: a celebration of their success, and the motivation to push harder in the future.
