Newbeat released their first mini album "LOUDER THAN EVER" on November 7.
Newbeat's first mini-album, "LOUDER THAN EVER," showcases a more global direction, featuring all-English lyrics and an intuitive sound. The album aims to capture the hearts of global K-pop fans, aiming for a natural connection with international listeners.
Notably, the album boasts a star-studded lineup of producers, further enhancing its quality. Renowned LA-based producer Neil Ormandy's participation underscores Newbeat's commitment to the global market. Ormandy has worked with Billboard Top 10 artists James Arthur and Illenium, and has collaborated with K-pop artists such as aespa, TXT, and TWICE. Renowned American composer and producer Candace Sosa, who has contributed to numerous BTS albums, has also joined Newbeat.
Newbeat presents 'Look So Good' and 'LOUD' as double title tracks for this album. While their debut album explored the authentic old-school genre of the 90s, this mini-album reinterprets the retro sensibility of early 2000s pop R&B with a modern twist.
'Look So Good' embodies Newbeat's aspirations and confidence, showcasing the individual charms of each Newbeat member alongside a Y2K sound.
'LOUD' expresses Newbeat's first cry to the world, blending bass house with the energy of rock and hyperpop to create a unique sound. The album also features four tracks, including "Unbelievable," a funky band sound, and "Natural," an uptempo rhythm with a dreamy atmosphere.
Meanwhile, Newbeat held their comeback showcase on SBS's official YouTube channel, "SBSKPOP X INKIGAYO," the same day as the album release.
