Girl group QUEENS EYE, making their comeback on the 28th, has revealed the tracklist for their new album 'PRISM EP.02'.
The new album, featuring participation from a luxurious lineup of global producers from Sean Cook to REDDY, is characterized by a coming-of-age narrative layered over a Y2K mood.
QUEENS EYE opened the tracklist image for their second episode album 'PRISM EP.02' through SNS on the 15th. The released image contained pink retro vibes and graphics reminiscent of 2000s MP3 players, maximizing QUEENS EYE's unique kitsch and trendy mood.
According to the tracklist, this album includes a total of 7 tracks: title track 'Y2K', 'LBD', 'THIS IS LOVE (KOR ver.)', 'THIS IS LOVE (ENG ver.)', 'Y2K (Sped Up ver.)', 'Y2K (Inst.)', and 'LBD (Inst.)'. The visual, which appears to replicate an old music player screen, utilized pixel fonts and neon colors to visually reveal the concept of title track 'Y2K', capturing attention.
The album raised expectations by featuring a stellar lineup of producers who have participated in global hit songs. This includes producer Sean Cook, who created Shaboozey's 'A Bar Song (Tipsy)' - the longest-running #1 song on the Billboard HOT100 chart, as well as famous overseas producers like Jason Hahs, who has worked with RIIZE, IVE, and NCT DREAM, elevating the album's quality. Additionally, for the title track 'Y2K' choreography, choreographer ROOT, who participated in aespa's 'Dirty Work', Hearts2Hearts' 'FOCUS', and kiiikiii's '404 (New Era)', and choreographer REDDY, who worked on YENA's 'NEMO NEMO' and kiiikiii's '404 (New Era)', contributed their expertise to further enhance the performance quality.
Title track 'Y2K' is a pop anthem genre song that reinterprets the sparkling emotions of the early 2000s in a contemporary style. With its addictive melody, witty lyrics, and free-spirited energy, the song expresses nostalgia for cassette players and carefree times through QUEENS EYE's unique sensibility.
B-side track 'LBD', an abbreviation for 'Little Black Dress', is a dance-pop track that embodies confident attitude. Electronic sounds blend with pop synth rhythms and refreshing vocals to deliver glamorous energy. Another B-side track 'THIS IS LOVE' captures the excitement and emotions of feeling love for the first time, with members WONCHAE and AYOON directly participating in the lyrics to add authenticity and the team's unique sensibility.
QUEENS EYE has entered the comeback countdown by sequentially releasing sophisticated comeback trailers and content. This 'PRISM EP.02' is an album that contains QUEENS EYE's musical growth cultivated over a long time and their increasingly distinct team color, promising an expanded musical spectrum and high-quality transformation based on Y2K retro mood.
