Red Velvet, TWS, Chuu, Lisa… Who Will Dominate the Summer?
A variety of colorful artists will make their comeback, adding vibrancy to the summer music scene. The main players are the groups Red Velvet, TWS, Chuu, and BLACKPINK's Lisa.
The group Red Velvet will release their new album ‘Cosmic’ on the 24th, marking their comeback after 7 months. This album consists of a total of six songs of various genres, including the title track ‘Cosmic’. The title track is a pop dance song dynamically developed with flashy synth strings and disco rhythms. The lyrics tell a fairy-tale-like story about meeting a traveler ‘you,’ who landed unexpectedly on my isolated star, and learning about infinite love like the universe.
Red Velvet’s cool and fantastic harmony maximizes the feelings of love and romance. Hitmaker KENZIE participated in the lyrics, composition, and arrangement of this new song, promising to captivate listeners worldwide with a unique style of summer music.
The group TWS, known as the ‘icon of freshness,’ will release their second mini-album ‘Summer Beat!’ on the 24th. This album includes six songs: the title track ‘If I’m S, Be My N,’ the pre-released song ‘Hey! Hey!’, ‘You + Me = 7942,’ ‘Double Take,’ ‘If I Were the Sun,’ and ‘Fire Confetti.’
The title track ‘If I’m S, Be My N’ is a hybrid pop genre song with a funky rhythm and vibrant synth sound. It likens their relationship to the ‘S pole’ and ‘N pole’ of a magnet, conveying the pleasant excitement of potentially discovering numerous reasons why opposites attract.
‘Human Vitamin’ Chuu returns on the 25th with her second mini-album ‘Strawberry Rush.’ This album includes six songs: the title track ‘Strawberry Rush,’ ‘Honeybee,’ ‘Daydreamer,’ ‘Lucid Dream,’ and both Korean and English versions of ‘Chocolate.’
The title track ‘Strawberry Rush’ expresses Chuu’s day as a quirky heroine chasing a trophy, with a sound reminiscent of running on rails. It’s a cute and charming song that fully captures Chuu’s essence, with witty lyrics that are a highlight.
BLACKPINK’s Lisa will release her new single ‘ROCKSTAR’ at 9 AM on the 28th. ‘ROCKSTAR’ is the first new song Lisa is showcasing since establishing Loud Company for her solo activities. It is also the first song she is releasing under the partnership with RCA Records, a label under Sony Music, one of the three major distributors in the U.S.
The previously released concept photos feature Lisa in goggles, chains, and tooth gems, matching the new song’s title ‘ROCKSTAR.’ Fans worldwide are eagerly anticipating what kind of music she will present, given the dramatic visuals that were unseen in her previous activities.
