DKB (E-Chan, D1, GK, Heechan, Lune, Junseo, Yuku, Harry June) has made a comeback after 15 months with their 9th mini album 'Emotion', released today (23rd). The album explores the diverse emotional changes and narratives encountered within the theme of love, all encapsulated in DKB's deepened musical color.
The mini album 'Emotion' delves into the complex emotions that love brings, from ironic excitement to irresistible temptation, freedom and liberation, intense romance, and the cycle of parting and new beginnings. Each track showcases a variety of genres, with DKB members actively participating in the songwriting, composing, and choreography, including the title track.
The title track 'Irony' is a pop-rock song characterized by its addictive guitar riff and rhythmic, intense sound. It directly expresses the ironic confusion of not knowing whether a lover's actions are out of 'love' or just 'play'.
DKB's unique performance and vocals vividly portray the dual emotions of sweetness and confusion, showcasing their musical growth. The album is expected to captivate global K-POP fans with DKB's new charm and energy emerging from these intricate emotions.
The album also features a variety of tracks that enhance its completeness. The hip-hop, trap-based track 'Snake' delivers an addictive allure and tension akin to a snake's dangerous temptation. The hip-hop and rock crossover track 'Weekend' captures the moment of enjoying freedom and liberation as if there is no tomorrow, like a weekend.
Additionally, the dance-pop track 'Cinderella', infused with 90s vibes, combines distortion guitar sounds with a romantic message, offering a powerful romance that overcomes trials through love. Lastly, 'Hello, Goodbye (Rollercoaster)', a reinterpretation of their debut single title track 'Why Meet (Rollercoaster)' with English lyrics, adds a unique sentiment to the end of the tracklist.
The mini album 'Emotion' intricately weaves the changes of love with DKB's unique color, showcasing a broadened genre spectrum and high-quality musical prowess through the members' significant involvement.
Meanwhile, DKB's 9th mini album 'Emotion' is available for streaming on various online music platforms from 6 PM today (23rd).
