The group Red Velvet, GFRIEND, OH MY GIRL, and fromis_9 were named the main characters of the second KiTake in July.
On the afternoon of the 21st, KiTbetter announced the second KiTake in July, titled Two Take.
KiTake is content where themed kit albums are uploaded to the official X account of KiTbetter. The expression for KiTake is denoted as One Take, Two Take, etc., based on the order of uploads each month.
KiTake is selected from kit albums produced and released by KiTbetter, a service for physical albums for smart devices. It selects among domestic and international kit albums released using the easy and quick album production service provided by KiTbetter, which burdens artists with no expenses, highlighting the artists and introducing them to listeners through various related content, thereby holding significance.
The July Two Take includes Red Velvet's 'The ReVe Festival' Day 2, GFRIEND's 'Time for the moon night', OH MY GIRL's 'Golden Hourglass', and fromis_9's 'from our Memento Box'.
The first selected kit album is Red Velvet's 'The ReVe Festival' Day 2. This album, consisting of a total of 6 tracks in various genres, features the title track 'Umpah Umpah', which has an uptempo dance song with disco house rhythm. The melody line follows the rhythm like inhalation and exhalation, characterized by a lively tempo with a continuously repeated synth bass and kick drum forming the core of the song. The refreshing vocals of Red Velvet members rise and fall softly, completing the rhythm of summer.
The second selected kit album is GFRIEND's 'Time for the moon night'. The title track 'Time for the moon night' presents a quiet question while evoking love on a night when girls' sensitivity deepens. The gentle strings and the building vocal harmonies over a medium tempo rhythm create a lyrical atmosphere as if one is talking softly under the moonlight, guiding the entire song with a restrained emotional line. The blue tones of the cover and the clearly aligned members lead the gaze as if looking at the moon outside the window, effectively capturing the lingering emotions of the song visually.
The third selected kit album is OH MY GIRL's 'Golden Hourglass'. The title track 'Summer Comes' is a summer song that perfectly captures the excitement of summer transmitted by OH MY GIRL, situated between the scorching sunlight and the cool waves. The synthesizers bursting from the intro and the rhythmic vocals joyfully announce the start of the awaited summer, expressing the moment when the voice of a loved one is heard like the change of seasons. This song conveys the feeling of being hit by a breeze on a hot summer day merely by listening, with contributions from producer Ryan Jun, who has also created hits like 'Feel My Rhythm', 'Kick It', and 'Next Level', along with Scott Stoddart, Anna Timgren, and Jason OK enhancing its completeness in composition and arrangement.
Lastly, the kit album being introduced is fromis_9's 'from our Memento Box'. The title track 'Stay This Way' begins with an impromptu trip just before sunset, portraying the moment of freedom away from daily life with a funky bass and guitar-centered rhythm, layered with refreshing vocals. The catchy chorus and rhythmic bridge section amplify the liberating feeling that washes over like waves, causing listeners to feel as if they have immersed themselves in the unfamiliar air of a travel destination. Lee Woo-min, who has consistently collaborated with fromis_9 on songs like 'DM' and 'WE GO', participated in co-composing and arranging, ensuring the distinctive refreshing sound is expressed delicately, while Seo Ji-eum elegantly balances emotions, maximizing the essence of a summer song.
