>NMIXX have had one hell of a year, topped by their gleaming capstone of a debut album, ‘Blue Valentine’. But it’s ‘Spinnin’ On It’ that stands as the record’s emotional cornerstone, the moment their signature genre-mixing adrenaline collides with sharpened instincts.
>A stupidly catchy bass riff with R&B sway pulls you in instantly before the production snaps into a lithe call-and-response structure that ricochets between bruised pleas and full-tilt intensity.

>It’s an emotional whiplash that only NMIXX could’ve polished into the year’s most exhilarating pop spectacle, fanned by their undeniable vocal firepower. They may insist they’re “so done with love”, but the joke’s on us – we’re the ones falling harder and harder with release.
High Horse
>An elegant trip-hop track built around a deceptively simple piano melody, ‘High Horse’ is driven by the harmonious, powerful voices of the girl group’s six members as they shift between soft balladry to lilting deadpan to rousing belts that stir the soul. NMIXX’s name represents their ability to blend different styles of music to create something unique, and ‘High Horse’ is a masterwork of their craft.
