K-Pop legends SUPER JUNIOR return today with their 12th studio album “Super Junior25” to mark two decades since their history-making debut.
The album title “Super Junior25” is a play on the nine-piece’s first full length release “Super Junior05” in 2005, and fittingly features nine tracks that showcase the group’s versatile talents that can only be achieved after such a storied time in the music industry. The LP opens with the up-tempo pop track ‘Express Mode’, setting the tone for the album – confident, fun, and unapologetically SUPER JUNIOR. Streaming Links HERE.
‘Haircut’ takes things down a notch with a minimal beat and a persistent topline, comparing a new haircut to shedding lingering emotions and regaining your confidence, before dance-pop track ‘Air’ continues the party with a fresh summer vibe.
‘Delight’ contains SUPER JUNIOR’s trust and appreciation for everyone who has traveled this journey with them over the last 20 years, its heartfelt lyrics laid over a powerful, anthemic arrangement. ‘I Know’, written by KANGTA – a member of another iconic K-Pop group, H.O.T – offers a signature SUPER JUNIOR ballad that blends delicate, lyrical melodies with a nostalgic sound.
‘Say Less’ dials things back up with its punchy funk-bass, an old-school R&B-inspired groove, and lyrics that capture the dramatic resolve of finally saying goodbye to an unreliable partner. ‘D.N.A.’ is a high-impact electronic dance record that fuses intense synthesisers with powerful, resonant drums, emulating the intense pull of irresistible attraction.
The penultimate song ‘Finale’ was co-composed by member DONGHAE, who imparts an encouraging message to young people relentlessly chasing their dreams – a brilliant finale is waiting on the horizon. The album closes with ‘Stuck With You’, a soft piano-led track dedicated to E.L.F., SUPER JUNIOR’s fans, who have stood with them unwaveringly for two decades.
SUPER JUNIOR is frequently credited as the team that began spreading K-Pop worldwide with numerous hit songs such as ‘Sorry Sorry’, ‘Miracle’, ‘U’, ‘
