Artist Wendy sings about the journey and emotions toward a new world.
Her agency, ASCEND, will release Wendy's third mini album "Cerulean Verge" on various online music sites at 6 p.m. on the 10th, offering listeners resonant, sincere music.
Through "Cerulean Verge," Wendy candidly expresses the feelings of fear and excitement, wandering and certainty encountered on a journey toward a new world. The new record includes six tracks in total: the title track "Sunkiss," along with "Fireproof," "EXISTENTIAL CRISIS," "Hate²," "Chapter You," and "Believe."
The title track "Sunkiss" captures the heartbeat and trembling of the moment of stepping toward a new world. With bright piano sounds and lively guitar riffs blending into alternative pop, and Wendy's clear, powerful vocals, it is expected to deliver an overwhelming emotional experience to listeners.
"Fireproof" is a song that highlights a rough yet majestic band sound and the intense energy of alternative rock, delivering a message of hope that trusting each other can help overcome crisis like a raging fire. "EXISTENTIAL CRISIS" combines Wendy's powerful vocals with indie rock, offering a sense of liberation that boldly breaks through the anxieties and oppressions of reality.
The following track, "Hate²," has drawn attention as Wendy's first self-composed song. The lyrics depict finding her own voice in the face of confining frameworks and distorted gazes. "Chapter You" likens the story written with a special person to a "chapter," capturing the two people's romantic world. With soft acoustic pop sounds and Wendy's sweet vocals, it conveys a sense of excitement.
The final track, "Believe," was pre-released before the album and drew attention. The song is a ballad that blends majestic yet minimal piano melodies with Wendy's delicate emotional lines, and her explosive vocal power in the chorus is impressive. It decorates the album finale with a strong message of determination to move forward together with trust in one another.
Meanwhile, Wendy will kick off her first world tour by holding "2025 WENDY 1st WORLD TOUR 'W:EALIVE' IN SEOUL" at Jangchung Arena in Jung-gu, Seoul, on the 20th and 21st, and plans to actively engage with global fans.
