The boy group A2O SOUL, introduced by key producer Lee Soo-man, will release its first album and begin full-fledged activities.
A2O SOUL will release its debut album, “SUPERSTAR,” at 6 p.m. on November 9 through major online music platforms in Korea and abroad. The album features five tracks, including the pre-release title track “SUPERSTAR” and the double title track “Dancing in the Dark.”
At the heart of the album is the “NEW SYNTHWAVE” genre, newly defined by A2O SOUL. The group plans to build its own musical identity through distinctive music and an original worldview. The group has also drawn attention as a 15-member act comprising Mun, Tai, Gaku, Siwon, Seoha, Sono, Lucien, Zai, Ayden, Allure, Jet, Sora, Theo, Jun, and Hanseong.
Key producer Lee Soo-man set the overall musical direction and personally selected world-renowned composers with whom the group had not previously collaborated, seeking to create new musical synergy.
Among those who contributed to the previously released “SUPERSTAR” were producer Yoo Young-jin; HAAN, who worked on “STAY,” a hit song by The Kid LAROI and Justin Bieber; and GENT!, who has worked on music by Drake and Doja Cat. Expectations are high for what their collaborations will bring to the upcoming double title track “Dancing in the Dark” and the remaining tracks on the album.
The physical album will be released in three formats: two photobook versions and one platform album version. Pre-orders will be available through major online and offline record retailers in Korea and abroad.
