Innovative idols. tripleS has unveiled the 8-member group LOVElution.
An innovative idol group that forms new teams through fan voting and showcases various formations according to concepts, tripleS has assembled a lineup of multinational girls, LOVElution, to dominate the summer.
The code ↀ, revealed through the first teaser, led to the album title <ↀ:MUHAN>, which signifies both the number 8 (the number of girls) and infinite possibilities. The album is filled with 8 tracks, completing a unique sound that only tripleS can deliver.
Track 1, ‘ↀ’, begins from the album's final track, ‘Transcendence’. The humming from ‘Transcendence’ is transformed into a beat, signaling the start of the album through the voices of Sohyun and Dahyun.
The title track, ‘Girls’ Capitalism’, sings about the realistic thoughts of girls living in a capitalist society. It conveys the message that while appearance and grooming are important, money is necessary above all else, and one creates their own future through independent capabilities. It captures the ear with tripleS's signature addictive hook, while refreshing lead vocals over a main funky guitar sound maximize the song. The production by EL CAPITXN and Venders, who created ‘Generation’, adds further strength.
In particular, tripleS's music videos, which have been loved by fans for capturing the sentiment of the city of Seoul rather than following Western sensibilities, have expanded further to wittily depict the capitalist concept of the “Mad Money Club.”
The coupling track ‘Complexity’ expresses the complex emotional moment when feelings cool down as soon as a long-desired love begins, using 21st-century New Jack Swing music.
‘Black Soul Dress’ is a Future Bass track produced by tripleS member Sohyun. Sohyun's talent, which had been recognized as a producer since joining tripleS, is further manifested in ‘Black Soul Dress’. Through the code of the "Black Soul Dress," it captures the process of finding one's true self without worrying about the gaze of others.
‘Seoul Sonyo Sound’ and ‘Cry Baby’ are two songs with opposite sentiments. ‘Cry Baby’ offers comfort for current hardships through a cheerful rhythm, a catchy melody, and the hope that today's tears will brighten tomorrow. However, ‘Seoul Sonyo Sound’ sings of the lonely emotions of small girls living in Seoul. While music like ‘Cry Baby’ serves as an escape from reality through excessive hope and brightness, ‘Seoul Sonyo Sound’ shines a small light blooming amidst loneliness and despair.
‘Speed Love’ expresses the desire to fall in love without hesitation, racing over the Liquid DnB genre.
The closing track, ‘Number 8’, is a track completed through the most traditional Korean instruments, such as the gayageum and traditional drums, combined with the mysterious voices of Seoyeon and Kaede. It contains the ambition to approach a new future through the roots of K-POP within the global scene.
The girls who will become a new history are ready through tripleS LOVElution on August 17, 2023, and tripleS EVOLution on October 4, 2023.
