ATEEZ – “Up”
ATEEZ are determined to continue breaking down walls and leave behind a legacy. Their most recent addition to the GOLDEN HOUR saga, GOLDEN HOUR : Part.6, presents the best of their bold sound. They declared their star power in pre-release single “Drip,” with ambition to keep rising as artists. For the new album’s title track, “UP,” ATEEZ show their desire to remain cemented in the minds of the public for their prowess in story and performance. “Above it all, we breaking boundaries,” proclaims SAN in the bridge. “Rise up, may we live on in everyone’s memory.”
The eight pirate kings set out on their own journeys in the music video, as a dark entity chases them. Undeterred by obstacles and enemies, even as time flows backwards, ATEEZ steer their ships through the mist and into the light. “Endless ambition, no peak to call the top ’til we die,” relays MINGI in the second verse. As the video ends, ATEEZ are seen walking towards a highway to the sky, signifying their long journey yet to come. The group recently celebrated their third No.1 on the Billboard 200 and performed as headliners for the 82WORLD: LA music festival. To witness more of their power in performance, make sure to catch their upcoming “Zero To All” world tour in 2027.
FLO – “Leave You (Never)”
The fans have been asking, maybe even begging, and now FLO’s “Leave You (Never)” is finally theirs. Consisting of Jorja, Renée, and Stella, the trio released their sophomore album THERAPY AT THE CLUB, only two months ago and are already gifting listeners with new music. But, their “THERAPY AT THE CLUB” tour would not have been the same without the highly requested “Leave You (Never).”
The track was performed to lucky audience members only twice before heading for the vault. With the original performances being in Osaka, it was only right for the “Leave You (Never)” music video to be filmed in Japan — and at one of its most iconic locations, Shibuya Crossing, too. The techno pop track is matched with an equally modern and high-energy video with the girls having a night out. The art style for the video pops with retro style and colors. They passionately sing to the camera messages of love and occasional irritation, but would they ever leave? Never.
GIRLSET – “young & dumb”
Quartet GIRLSET return with the official release of their new nostalgic pop-R&B single, “young & dumb.” The four members — Camila, Kendall, Lexi, and Savanna — performed the track prior to its release at 82WORLD: LA on October 17. The mid-tempo track uses low-key production and dreamy vocal melodies to paint the image of fearlessly exploring youth in all its glory. The members participated in writing and composing “young & dumb,” pulling from deeply relatable experiences as they begin to enter their 20s. With this new chapter of their lives, they celebrate the opportunity to live in the moment and experience mistakes, recklessness, and falling in love.
The music video, directed by Hannah Lux Davis, reflects the song’s sentiment with a 2000s digicam aesthetic. Between skateboarding, TP-ing a house, and dancing with potential lovers, the members enjoy their reckless youth together while they can, with the knowledge that nothing lasts forever. The release of “young & dumb” marks another step towards GIRLSET’s eagerly awaited debut album, teased with a simple “coming soon!”
NCT DREAM – “Boogie Woogie”
NCT DREAM bring back pop-funk with the groovy “Boogie Woogie,” the lead single of their sixth studio album, DREAM AFTER DREAM. The six-member K-pop group celebrated their 10th anniversary with the new release. RENJUN, JENO, HAECHAN, JAEMIN, CHENLE, and JISUNG bring their decade-long energy to “Boogie Woogie” with a disco-funk beat and energizing vocals. “Oh, baby, I’m loving this dream,” the members cheer in the post-chorus. “This shining moment / feels like forever.” JAEMIN also participated in writing the song, a meaningful contribution for a notable group milestone.
The members put their sharp moves to the test in the bright, musical theater-esque music video. Clad in bright clothes, they dance across grocery stores, bowling alleys, and malls, spreading their infectious energy to everyone they pass. DREAM AFTER DREAM explores the full range of ten years of work for the group, spanning different genres and perspectives on life, love, and what awaits NCT DREAM in the future. If you need a little pick-me-up as the days get darker, “Boogie Woogie” is the perfect addition to your rotation.
Snoh Aalegra – “Supernova”
Snoh Aalegra’s long-awaited album Legendary Love is finally here! Along with it, the Swedish-Persian singer dropped “Supernova,” a laid-back contemporary R&B track. “Supernova,” like many other tracks and pre-release singles from the album, explores yet another aspect of love. In it, Snoh Aalegra sings of a love so powerful and true that it feels cosmic. “Oh, you just might be the sun in my sky / Supernova, I’m a star in your eyes / And it’s all because of you,” she confesses on top of groovy, neo-soul instrumentals.
Listeners were quick to draw comparisons between this new release and other great names in R&B like Michael Jackson and Prince. Eagle-eyed viewers even caught a glimpse of Snoh Aalegra donning MJ’s black loafers/white socks combo in the music video, as she runs around London in a chunky blazer and vintage headphones. Snoh Aalegra has built her own standout musical identity throughout her time in the music industry. With lush vocals and nostalgic, soulful beats, she is more than prepared to take the R&B world by storm.
Say Now – “Girl of the moment”
The day has come and Say Now have released their first official EP, Say what you see, with their newest single, “Girl of the moment.” After three years in the game, members Amelia, Ysabelle, and Madz — and Say Now fans — have been anticipating an EP. Now that it’s here, they can’t get enough.
The single shows the triumph of success from the girls’ perspective as they bask in the adoration of their fans. The track starts with strings until it is met with a dominant percussion and a bubbly synth. The three artists also hopefully question if a moment can last forever. Two minutes into the song, spoken word is introduced. Say Now pose the thoughts, “I know the end is inevitable / But can’t I stay naive? Can’t a girl dream? / I know it’s greedy, but why can’t I have it all?” And you know what? Say Now can have it all, and they’re taking it.
CHANMINA – “どした？(Doshita?)”
To heal, you must first name your hurt. CHANMINA answers honestly in her newest album, LEGEND, after being asked the question, “どした?” (What’s wrong?). While she’s established herself as a multi-faceted artist, the journey to becoming a legend hasn’t been easy. She recounts conflict in the music industry on “FLIP FLAP” and trauma from a breakup in “History.” In “どした?,” CHANMINA learns to embrace her own vulnerabilities.
She sets the scene through the lyrics, picturing an ideal date in the first verse. The light synth instrumental accompanies CHANMINA’s soft voice, adding a romantic tone. Yet, she finds herself breaking out in tears amid the bustle of Harajuku. Rather than answering what’s troubling her, she continues to cry. “You love me when I’m naked,” CHANMINA claims in the chorus, but she’s not talking about nudity. Rather, she’s letting her fears go and showing her truest self. She no longer needs to hide her pain, and instead finds comfort with the right partner. Despite the hurt she’s experienced, CHANMINA believes there’s still hope to be found.
EL CAPITXN ft. Jagwar Twin, The Social Reject Choir – “Sing This Song For Me”
EL CAPITXN proves losing your voice isn’t the end of the world. His solo debut album, WHO KILLED EL?, centers around his rebirth as an artist. Once a K-pop idol, EL CAPITXN suffered an inexplicable loss of his voice from a medical condition. Though he continued as a producer for global artists, it never compared to his previous time in the spotlight. He reestablished himself as an artist through his solo debut, “Breaking Through,” featuring TOMORROW X TOGETHER’s TAEHYUN and Jeremy Zucker.
EL CAPITXN further explores his new identity as an artist without a voice in “Sing This Song For Me.” The rock track accompanied by gothic visuals serves as the lead single of WHO KILLED EL?. While he has lost his singing voice, EL CAPITXN allows Jagwar Twin to speak on his behalf. “Sing this song for mе / I don’t care if you don’t like it,” Jaguar Twin proclaims in the chorus. “But I made this sh*t for you / ‘Causе I can’t f*cking sing.” EL CAPITXN mouths the words in the music video, surrounded by figures cloaked in black and white. He vents his frustration, posing as a band’s frontman despite lacking the voice to truly be one. As The Social Reject Choir joins in, audiences can feel EL CAPITXN’s desperation to let his voice be heard.
Chxrry – “Big Shot feat. Rema”
Chxrry knew the people wanted more, so she made her iconic debut album, U, Me & My Ego, deluxe with five new songs, including her shining single “Big Shot.” While the original album featured two tracks with artists Mariah the Scientist and Cash Cobain, “Big Shot” features Afrobeats king Rema. Fans were hyped around the news of more songs, but Chxrry delivered even more with a new music video for the single.
Taking place in a billiard hall, Chxrry is dressed as a ring leader. She’s in the middle of two other dancers as they lure in whoever is willing to take a shot at them. Rema makes an appearance as well for his verse, opposing Chxrry and declaring her as the girl to watch out for. The entire video exudes confidence with captivating moves and alluring visuals in every frame. As she rides a bull and lies down with money raining down on her, she sings, “If you really like that / Show me you like that.” And there’s no better mantra for the track. “Big Shot” and the four other tracks prove that Chxrry is pining for the spotlight, and thus far in her career, the spotlight is adoring her just as much.
