Jannabi Returns with New Album 'Sound of Music pt.2: LIFE' Embracing Autumn's Essence

The band Jannabi is set to make a comeback with an album that captures the deep essence of autumn.

On October 7, Jannabi announced the release of their fourth studio album, 'Sound of Music pt.2: LIFE,' scheduled for October 21, through a teaser video on their official social media channels.

This new album is a continuation of Jannabi's exploration of 'how to sing about life through music.' The subtitle 'LIFE' hints at the band's unique life philosophy, previously expressed in songs like 'Dream, Book, Power, and Wall(꿈과 책과 힘과 벽),' 'Goodbye Sadness(슬픔이여 안녕),' and 'Romantic on a Deserted Island(외딴섬 로맨틱).' The album promises to delicately unfold stories that transition from youth to life, reflecting the members' experiences over the years.

The teaser video released alongside the album announcement showcases Jannabi's warm and lyrical sentiment. The orchestral melodies convey the band's signature fairy-tale-like emotion, reminiscent of their iconic ballads from albums like 'Hot Summer Night is Gone, But We Have Nothing Left(뜨거운 여름밤은 가고 남은 건 볼품없지만),' 'For Hesitant Lovers(주저하는 연인들을 위해),' and the mini-album 'Thoughts on an Autumn Night(가을밤에 든 생각).'

The 'Sound of Music' series is a two-part project for their fourth studio album. While pt.1, released in April, captured the hope, vitality, and romance of youth, pt.2 embraces the deep emotions of autumn. As the season changes, Jannabi's music, much like the expression 'more than mackerel, it's Jannabi,' signals the return of the band that should be remembered first when autumn arrives.

Previously, on July 29, Jannabi surprised fans with the release of 'Sound of Music Side Story: Summer Vacation Edition!' delivering a cheerful and free-spirited summer vibe. In August, they marked a milestone by performing at the Gymnastics Arena for the first time since their debut, successfully concluding their encore concert 'All Boys and Girls 2125,' reaching another peak as a band.

Jannabi's fourth studio album 'Sound of Music pt.2: LIFE' is anticipated to encapsulate the essence of autumn and musically summarize the band's life philosophy. Following the youthful narrative of last spring, the album is expected to express the joys and sorrows of life with Jannabi's unique philosophy and melodies.

Jannabi's fourth studio album, marking the transition from the lingering heat of summer to the lyricism of autumn, will be released on October 21 at 6 PM on various online music platforms.
