For the first time in 10 years
The truth brought out
Monsta X
They are back with their third American full-length album [Unfold].
'Unfold'.
What was folded
It means unfolding. Everything about this album is encapsulated in that one word. Over the past 10 years, they have been powerful on stage. It was intense. So I had to put more things aside. Wounds, growing pains, fading love, and even an inner voice that you didn't even know you had.
[Unfold] is a record where all of that finally begins to breathe.

The opening title track, 'heal', is about a relationship that is repeatedly hurt without being able to let go of each other.
This song asks about the meaning of ‘true recovery.’
“There is a nail in my heart. The more I love you,
“The deeper it goes, the deeper the wound becomes.” This
The premise of the song is this: Wounds cannot be erased. Still, we love. This song raises the question of whether love can truly heal.

The sounds build up layer by layer, clearly revealing emotional tension and cracks. From a restrained introduction to an explosive chorus,
In the gradual development, a paradoxical truth is revealed. Love comforts me
It could be a wound, or it could be another wound.
The music video is
Complete this message in visual language. Red nail, hammer, skein of thread. A light word becomes a hammer, and emotions
The process of becoming a nail and being driven into the heart. In each room, each person hurts in their own way
This is the story of the members facing each other. And the last scene, without explanation,
hug Still together.

Ten snapshots, rewinding the record of love
[Unfold] is an album with a clear narrative.
Two pre-released copies
The single has already set the coordinates for the album first. ‘Baby Blue’ recalled the afterimage of fading love, and ‘growing pains’ calmly confessed the 10 years of shaking. [Unfold] brings out even more emotions at the root of those two stories.
The tracks on the album are
Contains love of different temperatures. On the groove of modern R&B
'this!', which contains sensuous excitement, 'before you met me', a cinematic pop ballad about the time when people tried to change each other in love, and 'empty' the inner self that has consumed itself for the sake of others.
Even the contemporary pop track ‘glass half empty’, which is compared to a glass.
What these songs have in common is
It's like this. Not glorifying emotions. Love is not just beautiful. I'm excited but exhausted. It's hot, but eventually cools down. hurt
Give and get hurt. [Unfold] honestly exposes all aspects of it. This album is not about Monsta X as perfect performers, but as human beings who have loved and been hurt.
It exists within.
The atmosphere of the second half is

benefits’, ‘on our way’ where excitement begins again. And 'sorry to myself', which decorates the finale, is a song about apologizing to oneself rather than to the other person in the face of a breakup. Although it is self-deprecating
It doesn't collapse. It's sad, but it doesn't sag. Self, not others
Forgiveness toward. That is the last sentence of [Unfold].
