The band LUCY released their 6th mini album[Wajangchang]today(the 23rd)at 6 PM.

[Wajangchang]is an album that opens a new chapter for Lucy, who has presented diverse music like the journey of flower petals from blooming to falling, to welcome spring.The sound of something breaking, destroying, and reestablishing itself and blooming anew is expressed as ‘Wajangchang’.Member Jo Won-sang, who produced all the albums released under Lucy’s name, also took the lead in the production of[Wajangchang].

Among the double title tracks ‘잠깨’ and ‘하마’ included in the album, ‘하마’ is an impressive song with a lyrical melody contrasting with an addictive bass loop, and the witty FX sounds provide a fun and pleasant surprise in the middle of the song.

This song is about a situation where the speaker meets the ideal type of person he has always dreamed of in a store he happened to enter, but runs away in embarrassment, and instead of remembering the person’s face, he keeps thinking about the picture of a hippopotamus hanging in the store.Just like the story, “You fall into a swamp of hippopotamuses without realizing it,” the addictive sound of the hippopotamus will never leave your head once you hear it, and it is expected to become a popular pick for sure.

The ‘Hippo’ music video was produced in an animated format.A man in love and a happy blue hippopotamus that is always in his sights continue Lucy’s adult fairy tale sensibility.

‘잠깨’, which was pre-released on the 27th of last month, properly warmed up the official album release by entering Melon’s latest chart, HOT100, and Bugs ‘real-time chart, which are major domestic music streaming sites, immediately after its release with Lucy’s signature refreshing yet catchy charm.

Including the double title track, [Wajangchang]contains a total of 6 tracks, including ‘나들에게 더’ which expresses the sorrowful longing for a departed lover with a rocking sound and rushing vocals, ‘탁탁’ which stands out with its fresh lyrics that compare the shy speaker to a robot in human skin and its catchy melody, ‘만들기 이후 의 엄고지고’ which has a warm and lyrical atmosphere as if empathizing with and supporting each other’s wounds caused by hatred, and ‘bleu’ which is a song written, composed, and arranged solely by member Choi Sang-yeop and expresses the wish for people to break free from depression and bloom freely.

Lucy will be holding her seventh solo concert ‘Wajangchang’ from May 2nd to 4th at the Hwajung Gymnasium of Korea University in Seongbuk-gu, Seoul, with all tickets sold out.
