The group XLOV, drawing attention with its sensational global popularity, has raised comeback excitement to a peak by previewing a limitless genre spectrum and a distinctive worldview. With a differentiated identity branded as genderless (Genderless), they this time showcase musical growth that crosses jazz, hip-hop and EDM.
XLOV (Umuti, Rui, Hyun, Haru)'s mini 2nd album "I,God", armed with an original narrative and a solid musical color, will be released on the 27th at 6 p.m. on various online music sites.
Ahead of this, XLOV on the 19th uploaded a highlight medley video of the mini 2nd album "I,God(아이,갓)" to their official YouTube channel. In the released video, the members appear with flamboyant hairstyles and heavy makeup, emitting elegant yet chic charms in line with the mood of each track and proving overwhelming concept performance ability.
The new record "I,God" foretells the birth of a masterpiece with a colorful genre composition from the intro track to unit songs. Starting with the jazz-based intro track "法則:THE RULES(법칙:더 룰스)", it tightly includes unit track "Extancy", featuring Umuti and Rui's intense house beats and hyperpop elements; "BACK 2 BACK", which highlights a heavy 808 bass sound; Hyun·Haru's unit track "HIPS", an upbeat hip-hop genre that blends bass and punched drums; and the EDM-based pop track "Masterpiece".
In particular, the unveiled title track "SERVE(서브)" is a song that features a groovy bass at its core and a diverse sound composition. XLOV is expected to completely captivate global listeners with lyrics that melt irreplaceable, confident charm into a mysterious and ear-overwhelming melody.
Moreover, this album raises expectations because it is also a continuation of the chessboard worldview that began with the debut single "I'mma Be(암마비)". Taking "pawn promotion," one of the chess rules, as its theme, it boldly unfolds a story of rising to a complete being by overcoming the incompleteness within an unfinished love.
