Stray Kids released their mini-album 'Cle: LEVANTER' on December 9th.
Having boldly entered the music scene with their self-composed song 'Hellevator', Stray Kids continues to write their limitless musical growth story, consistently appearing in the credits of their album tracks, including the new album 'Cle: LEVANTER'.
Starting with 'Cle 1: MIROH', followed by 'Cle 2: Yellow Wood', and finally revealing the culmination of the 'Cle' series with 'Cle: LEVANTER'.
Stepping into the adult world with 'MIROH', Stray Kids walked in their own direction, armed with burning determination and passion. Facing the 'Side Effects' in the maze they entered, they chose to tie their shoelaces tight and leap into the world instead of sitting down in despair.
Stray Kids has encapsulated the true meaning of 'Cle' discovered through their journey in this album.
The title track 'Levanter' is a song with lyrics contributed by JYP head Park Jin Young, the talented musician Herz Analog, and the team's producing group 3RACHA.
Stray Kids sings calmly about the emotions they felt, with lyrics like "What I needed was me, I walk as my feet lead, the moment I escape the tunnel that trapped me in my dreams, I feel the pouring light."
The new mini-album includes a total of 8 tracks, including the title track 'Levanter', 'STOP', 'Double Knot', 'Booster', 'Astronaut', 'Sunshine', 'You Can STAY', and 'Mixtape#5', which can only be heard on CD. They participated in writing and composing all tracks, infusing Stray Kids' inherent color.
‘STOP’ is a continuation of the track ‘밟힌 적 없는 길 (Road Not Taken)’ from ‘Cle 2: Yellow Wood’. Matthew Tishler, who worked with Disney and on OSTs, collaborated with 3RACHA again. The song encapsulates the enlightenment Stray Kids gained at the end of ‘Road Not Taken’.
'Double Knot', pre-released as a digital single on October 9, is a song with a firm resolve to tie their shoelaces tight and move forward, melting a strong spirit into an intense melody.
'Booster' completes an explosive mood with strong rap and multi-dimensional vocals. The energetic rap line swirls addictively, with members' diverse harmonies stitched throughout the song.
'Astronaut', pre-released via a music video on November 14, is an easy-listening song combining bouncy beats and melody. They collaborated with DJ and producing duo Sondr, who worked with famous international pop artists like Lana Del Rey and Meghan Trainor, enhancing the song's quality.
'Sunshine', a song with lyrics and composition by member Han, was created to express finding serene peace amidst the chaos of the city.
'You Can STAY' is a track made thinking of their fans (STAY). It expresses their gratitude towards fans with lyrics like "Thank you for coming to me, becoming the same shadow in the approaching light, for holding my hand."
'Mixtape#5' is written and composed by all members of Stray Kids. The voices of Stray Kids on the piano melody are captivating. The clever lyrics such as "Red, yellow, green colored trees are now wearing cloud-colored hoods, with you, this winter too," stand out.
Stray Kids, who have been running breathlessly so far, conveys courage and belief to the listeners with their new album 'Cle: LEVANTER', the last story of the 'Cle' series.
