Babymonster, Hearts2Hearts, TWS, BoyNextDoor and SHINee’s Onew to drop new songs next month
New music is on the horizon this fall, with a lineup of exciting new tracks ready to hit playlists.
Onew of SHINee is releasing his second Japanese mini album “Saku” on Oct. 1, which describes the moment a flower blossoms, carrying the theme of flowers and blooming through its tracklist.
The five-track album brims with the main single “Hana no Yoni,” which translates as “Like a Flower,” and “Kimi=Hana,” “Lily,” “Beautiful Snowdrop” and “‘Cause I Believe in Your Love.”
Girl group Babymonster of K-pop powerhouse YG Entertainment is releasing its much-anticipated second EP “We Go Up” on Oct. 10.
The namesake title track is a hip-hop piece showcasing the group’s bold energy, with the teaser images featuring a charismatic look that signals something exciting is on its way. As the title suggests, the song is about aiming high and pushing yourself to be better.
B-side tracks include “Psycho,” a powerful song that complements the title track, “Supa Dupa Luv,” a slow hip-hop-based track, and “Wild,” a country-inspired dance track.
TWS is releasing its fourth EP, “Play Hard,” on Oct. 13. With more details to follow, the sextet preleased “Head Shoulders Knees Toes” on Monday evening.
In a statement released through its agency, Pledis Entertainment, on Tuesday, TWS said the upcoming album marks the start of its musical journey and gives the group the opportunity to explore new styles and concepts.
“As we grow and evolve, our music will embrace an even wider range of sounds and genres,” the group said.
SM Entertainment’s rookie girl group Hearts2Hearts will heat up fall music charts with its first EP “Focus,” set for release on Oct. 20. The forthcoming album consists of six songs, all covering different musical styles. It includes the title track and the group’s single “Style,” which was released in June.
Ahead of the release, the group will prerelease its B-side track “Pretty Please” on Wednesday evening.
BoyNextDoor, a boy band under Hybe subsidiary KOZ Entertainment, founded by K-pop artist and producer Zico, will also release its fifth mini album, “The Action,” on Oct. 20.
In a video uploaded on Hybe’s official YouTube channel late Monday, the six bandmates turned into a movie-making crew called “Team the Action,” hinting at a cinematic theme for their upcoming release. Selecting Chicago as their filming location, the singers imagined themselves as movie directors. The clip ends with “Take No. 6, ready, camera, action,” unveiling the group’s new album titled “The Action.”
“The Action” marks BoyNextDoor’s return to the music scene nearly five months after its fourth mini album, “No Genre,” in May.
