VICTON 6th Mini Album [Continuous]
Unstoppable love, VICTON’s obsession and illusion ‘Howling’
‘VICTON’s’ sixth mini album [Continuous] has been released.
In November 2019, the story of the brilliant second act of ‘VICTON’, which set its own highest record by winning all of its songs on the charts and winning its first music broadcast with ‘Nostalgic Night’, continues.
The 6th mini album 【Continuous】 means something that is continuously connected, and it contains the regret, illusion, and obsession that we are still connected in the face of an ended love. It also contains the meaning that emotions such as longing and sadness after a breakup continue to continue, adding a double meaning to connection. In addition, Do Han-se participated in writing lyrics for all songs in this album, and the members participated in writing and composing each song, broadening Victon's musical spectrum.
【Continuous】's title song 'Howling' is another song presented to Victon by the composition team Hidden Sound (HSND) and NANO after 'May Love'. It is a sound that embodies a rough rock guitar sound and a sad cry with a hip-hop-based beat on impressive lyrics that encapsulate the sad cry toward the person you miss, the wind and obsession that stays inside you and cannot escape forever, in the word 'Howling'. The effects were harmonized to create emotional performance music.
In addition to the title song, a total of 5 songs are included, including “Nightmare,” a song that depicts the nightmare caused by a broken heart on a nostalgic night when only the things that could not be done are remembered at every moment, “All I Know,” a song that expresses the face of separation with delicate lyrics, “Petal,” an alternative dance song that contains the message that we will be together forever as we are now, and “White Night,” a ballad song that blends well with Victon’s emotional vocals. From the dark night to the bright night. The following story was captured in the song, completing the composition of the entire album.
