Cosmosy’s first-ever EP, the a(e)nd, isn’t just a debut statement—it feels like a manifesto. The four-member group has been steadily building momentum since their pre-debut track zigy=zigy and their official debut single Lucky=One, and now they’ve delivered a six-track body of work that’s as ambitious as it is atmospheric. What makes cosmosy fascinating at this early stage is how they refuse to play it safe: their music is layered, multilingual, and conceptually driven, but still anchored in hooks that resonate far beyond the niche of experimental pop.

The EP’s concept is simple but striking: each track represents one of the five senses, with the finale embodying the “Sixth Sense.” It could have been a gimmick, but instead it gives the record shape. Production choices, arrangements, even vocal delivery feel tied to the senses they’re meant to channel. From trap beats crashing into classical symphonies to Brazilian Phonk rubbing up against taiko drums, cosmosy treat genre like clay—reshaping familiar sounds into something strange but oddly cohesive.

BabyDon’tCry=BreakingTheLove (Sight):  comes out swinging. Trap and Hardstyle laced with Beethoven and Mozart—it sounds like a fever dream. But instead of camp, it lands tense, jagged, even a little haunting. The symphonies cut in like ghosts, flickering inside the beat. Sometimes it’s too much, but that overstuffed energy is also the charm.

“HIGH=LOVE (Hearing)” feels like the centerpiece, and probably their best shot at a signature track. Built on Brazilian Phonk grooves and 808s, it doesn’t fully hit until the taiko drums crash in. Suddenly it shifts from club track to something ritualistic, bigger than the room. This is the one where you hear just how ambitious cosmosy actually are.

“Princess=Kiss (Taste)” is a strange little detour. Glossy, Snap-inspired, bouncy. It could almost pass for pure fluff if not for the ache buried under the shine. The lip gloss metaphor sounds like a throwaway, but it sticks—like they’re saying fantasy and consumerism can still crack open something real.

“zigy=zigy (Smell)”—their pre-debut cut—still sums up the group’s identity best. Afro-pop blended with K-pop brightness, all sugar on top with melancholy underneath. It’s adolescent in the best way: confused, hopeful, slightly broken.

“Lucky=One (Touch)” remains the crowd-pleaser. Tropical house, sunlit synths, a hook built for singalongs. It’s the safest track here, but that doesn’t make it disposable. The sincerity carries it. If BabyDon’tCry is their risk-taker, this is their festival anthem.

“end=and (Sixth Sense)” doesn’t try for fireworks. It drifts instead—looping synths, hushed vocals, the kind of track that feels like it’s holding its breath. Not an ending, more like a pause before the next thing.

What makes the a(e)nd impressive isn’t just the ambition, but how realized it sounds for a rookie group. The multilingual lyrics—Korean, Japanese, English—aren’t used as token gestures; they add texture to the project’s cross-cultural soundscape. Themes of beginnings, endings, and in-between spaces resonate not just with the songs but with the group itself, standing at the dawn of their career and already pushing outward.

This is more than a debut EP—it’s a promise. Cosmosy don’t just want to be heard; they want to build a world. And if the a(e)nd is only the beginning, the cosmos feels wide open.
