The group Cortis (CORTIS) announced another remarkable comeback along with the bold move of having former members participate in song production. Cortis (Martin, James, Juhun, Sunghyun, Gunho) drew fans' attention by revealing the tracklist for their mini album 2nd "GREENGREEN" on their official social media at 9 p.m. on the 13th.
Cortis's mini album 2nd "GREENGREEN" will be officially released on May 4, and the title track "REDRED"'s single and music video will be pre-released on the 20th. This new record includes a total of six songs filled with Cortis's unique colors, including the title track "REDRED," "TNT," "ACAI," "YOUNGCREATORCREW," "Wassup," and "Blue Lips."
The biggest point is the members' level of participation. All five members are listed in the credits, proving the epithet "young creator crew." In particular, they co-created most of the tracks after attending a song camp in Los Angeles (LA), and all members participated in the songwriting for four songs, including the title track "REDRED," adding authenticity. Sources say they infused their tastes into the overall content beyond simple singing, including choreography and video production.
The title track "REDRED" sensually expresses the values the team pursues as "GREEN" and what they resist as "RED." It depicts a journey of finding their own direction away from standards set by the world.
A representative said the rough synthesizer sound and highly addictive melody harmonize to offer a fresh stimulus, and said, "Energetic "TNT," "ACAI," which is themed on snacks they often ate during the production period, and "Blue Lips," which originated from Martin's self-composed song during his trainee days, are tightly packed with the members' real experiences and tastes, adding listening pleasure."
The panorama image released alongside is also full of Cortis-style "spoilers." Each member strikes poses that evoke the lyrics or titles of the included songs, inducing fans' over-immersion. As in previous activities, they emphasized a "raw" feeling and new textures rather than artificial embellishment, presenting distinctive visuals. According to distributor YG PLUS and Universal Records, the new record recorded 2,020,224 preorders three weeks before release, lighting the green light for the historic achievement of becoming a double million-seller for the second consecutive time following their debut album.<
