The new song by BABYMONSTER will finally be released today (1st) at 6 p.m. As it marks a comeback after about 8 months, expectations from global fans have reached their peak with the announcement of the intense 'summer song' titled 'HOT SAUCE.'
The pre-release track 'HOT SAUCE' is a dance song that reinterprets 1980s old-school hip-hop in BABYMONSTER's unique style. The witty lyrics that liken the confident and bold attitude to spicy food are impressive.
It fully captures BABYMONSTER's unique cheerful charm in the music. The synth bass and brass exude lively energy, and the members' rapping, which seamlessly transitions through rhythmic beats, maximizes the song's dynamism. Additionally, the refreshing vocals placed at the right moments and the catchy chorus continuously capture the ears.
The performance that makes you want to follow along after seeing it once is also a key point. The choreography, which joyfully expresses the spiciness, offers a unique immersion that aligns with the lively music. The movements that intuitively interpret the lyrics are expected to be deeply ingrained in the mind after just one viewing, creating strong addiction.
The music video is directed to allow full focus on the music and performance, enhanced by colorful graphic design and dynamic camera movements to add liveliness. BABYMONSTER's visuals, which stylishly embody the 1980s hip-hop styling that gained attention since the teasing phase, harness the retro sensibility found throughout the video and present the new song's musical world in an even hipper way.
According to YG, "Despite the consecutive tour schedules, the members dedicated their sincerity and effort to the work. You can enjoy the hot summer more coolly with 'HOT SAUCE,'" adding, "We plan to repay the love you've sent with various activities, including music broadcasts, so please show us a lot of interest and support."
Meanwhile, BABYMONSTER will continue their tight schedule with a second pre-release track in September and the mini-album release in October following 'HOT SAUCE.' In addition, starting in August, they will kick off at Japan's largest music festival 'Summer Sonic' and expand their global reach with a second North American tour that includes Toronto, Rosemont, Atlanta, Fort Worth, Oakland, and Seattle.
