The group ILLIT presents a unique charm with the remix version of their mini album's title track 'Borrowed Cat (Do the Dance).'
Released simultaneously worldwide today at 1 p.m. on the 27th, ILLIT (Yoona, Minju, Mocha, Wonhee, Iroha)'s 'Borrowed Cat (Do the Dance) (Remixes)' consists of a total of 7 tracks. In addition to the original, four remix versions are expected to bring a different vibe.
The Snail's House remix was worked on by Japanese DJ and producer Snail's House, who specializes in Pluggnb and Chiptune sounds. It aligns closely with ILLIT's style as showcased in tracks like 'Magnetic' and 'Tick-Tack,' making ILLIT's unique musical color feel even more pronounced.
The Sunlight remix exudes the vibrant atmosphere of summer. With sparkling synth sounds and a rhythmic bass line making shoulders sway, the repeating sound of a cat's meow creates a sense of addiction.
The version remixed by producer and DJ Fig Tape, who participated in the original work, evokes an even hotter summer image. It has a different emotion compared to the romantic and dreamy atmosphere of the original. Meanwhile, the remix version by French electronic musician Breakbot & Irfane maximizes the French house color that is the foundation of the original.
Additionally, a slowed + reverb version and an instrumental version of the original are included, adding diverse enjoyment.
'Borrowed Cat (Do the Dance)' is a song based on the French house genre, embodying the excitement and freshness of a first date. The unique lyrics that evoke cats, like 'kung-sil-nyang', 'dum-chit-nyang', along with the French lyrics reminiscent of magical spells, are powerful and unforgettable. After its release, the song entered Melon's 'Top 100' and achieved 1st place for six consecutive days (June 18-23) in Apple Music's Korean 'Today's Top 100.'
The mini album 'bomb' recorded over 400,000 copies in initial sales (sales during the first week after release), reaching the top of both the Hant Chart and Circle Chart's weekly album charts. It also dominated the top ranks of major album charts in Japan, including Oricon and Billboard Japan, proving its hot popularity in both Korea and Japan.
