Big Ocean Unveils Tracklist for Upcoming Album 'THE GREATEST BATTLE'
On the 9th, Big Ocean (members Chanyeon, PJ, and Jiseok) shared an image of the tracklist for their third mini-album 'THE GREATEST BATTLE', set to be released on November 3rd at 6 PM, via their official social media channels.
According to the image, the mini-album includes a total of eight tracks: the double title tracks 'One Man Army' and 'Cold Moon', along with 'Alive', 'Back', 'Alive (inst.)', 'One Man Army (inst.)', 'Back (inst.)', and 'Cold Moon (inst.)'.
The first title track, 'One Man Army', is inspired by Admiral Yi Sun-sin's Battle of Myeongnyang. The lyrics capture the daunting solitude of standing alone against the world, yet embodying an unyielding spirit.
The other title track, 'Cold Moon', uses the moon as a motif to portray a mature self that acknowledges emotions while exercising restraint in expression. While 'One Man Army' depicts a battle against the external world, 'Cold Moon' focuses on an internal struggle.
Notably, all members of Big Ocean contributed to the composition of 'One Man Army', enhancing anticipation for the new release by expressing the indomitable spirit inspired by the Battle of Myeongnyang.
Ahead of their comeback, Big Ocean has unveiled a new logo and symbol, signaling a change. The industry is keenly watching to see the new concept and musical direction they will present with this release.
Following the album release, Big Ocean plans to embark on a global tour, starting in the United States in March, followed by Europe in April, Asia in May and June, and South America in July, to connect with their international fans.
