The group ZEROBASEONE's new album is finally unveiled.
ZEROBASEONE (Seong Han-bin, Kim Ji-woong, Zhang Hao, Seok Matthew, Kim Tae-rae, Ricky, Kim Kyu-bin, Park Geon-wook, Han Yu-jin) will release their mini album 'BLUE PARADISE' today at 6 p.m. through various music streaming sites.
ZEROBASEONE's comeback comes about six months after the release of their mini album 'CINEMA PARADISE.' As they aim for 'five consecutive million sellers,' we explored three reasons why their new album is highly anticipated.
Completion of the 'PARADISE' two-part series... deepened emotions
While ZEROBASEONE unfolded a colorful narrative like a movie through their previous work 'CINEMA PARADISE,' 'BLUE PARADISE' deals with the emotions that have deepened within it.
The album contains a message that '"even sad (BLUE) moments are a part of life, and our effort to move forward is brilliant and beautiful in itself." Ultimately, it asserts that PARADISE lies within us all, depicting the nine members who have matured both musically and personally.
Includes debut unit songs... evolution of musical capabilities
This album, featuring a total of six tracks, unravels emotions such as sadness, anxiety, addiction, growing pains, obsession, and deviation, stemming from the journey towards finding 'BLUE PARADISE,' unfolding like a mystery game.
The debut unit songs 'Out of Love' (featuring Kim Ji-woong, Zhang Hao, Kim Kyu-bin), 'Step Back' (featuring Ricky, Park Geon-wook, Han Yu-jin), and 'Cruel' (featuring Seong Han-bin, Seok Matthew, Kim Tae-rae) showcase ZEROBASEONE's evolved musical capabilities. The solid vocal abilities and emotional expressions of ZEROBASEONE, which have grown since their debut, can be encountered.
Kenzie provides support... 'mystery refreshment' charm anticipated
The title track 'BLUE' is the second collaboration between ZEROBASEONE and global hitmaker Kenzie. Utilizing the dual meanings behind the word 'blue,' it sings about 'a sad yet beautiful destined love.' The contrast between the refreshing synth sounds and emotional vocals offers a mysterious freshness.
The music video, released along with the music, shows ZEROBASEONE embarking on a journey to find 'BLUE PARADISE.' While the future is filled with unpredictable mysteries, it expressively conveys that such experiences will further help us grow.
