Description
DRIPPIN's 4th Single Album [Beautiful MAZE] unravels the epitome of youth with DRIPPIN's sensibility [Beautiful MAZE], encapsulating stories of love and separation, thrills and contemplations of the contemporary youth.
In April 2023, DRIPPIN made a striking return with [SEVEN SINS], showcasing intense performances and a maturity within a well-crafted world. Now, after about a year, they are making a comeback with their fourth single album [Beautiful MAZE], which captures the representation of youth.
The single album [Beautiful MAZE] weaves various emotions of youth across multiple genres from the title track ‘Beautiful MAZE’, which likens love and separation to a labyrinth, to the refreshing and heart-fluttering ‘Get LOUD’, and ‘Black MIRROR’, which captures the inner struggle between the ‘self’ in the virtual and real worlds.
The title track ‘Beautiful MAZE’ is a NEW WAVE track based on Synth-POP sounds and UP-TEMPO rhythm, unraveling the pain of twisted love and inseparable emotions through the metaphor of a 'maze'. The track immediately immerses the listener with a nostalgic whistle and escalating Drum n Bass rhythm in its intro.
In the music video, the structural emotional territory of a maze sets the stage, portraying a story of growth through the processes of love and separation, eternity, and regret, akin to a game of tag, and the moments of escaping the shackles towards a new salvation are uniquely depicted in DRIPPIN's style.
The second track ‘Get LOUD’ is a Future-Funk style dance song with the charming sounds of Synthesizer and bouncy Slap-Bass, bringing to life the effervescent spirits of youth in love with its fresh lyrics.
The final third track, ‘Black MIRROR’, is a dance song with a kitschy Disco-Funk genre blended with powerful synth sounds, providing a well-crafted mood and aggressive groove with its strong attack of Kick and Snare in a simple structure. The lyrics, contemplating which self is the real one between the crafted identity on SNS and the real self, are alluring, and the concept of the two selves reflected in the ‘Black MIRROR’.
Meeting the public with a new youth concept different from their previous works, DRIPPIN plans to establish their own new realm through activities for their fourth single album and continue broad encounters with global K-POP fans through various channels.
