ARTMS <Dall>

Five girls, destined by fate, stood at a new starting line and unveiled the name ARTMS. Kim Lip, Jinsoul, and Choerry successfully reignited ODD EYE CIRCLE, completing North American and European tours with the release of their new album <Version Up>. Heejin's solo album <K> was more than enough to showcase the beauty of Korea. Haseul also successfully completed a four-day solo concert in Seoul, demonstrating her growth as a performance-oriented idol. Having completed their warm-up, ARTMS finally released their first full-length album <Dall>, encapsulating the paradox of blessings and cruelty regarding love and life.

The intro track ‘url’ is like a ritual leading to the title song ‘Virtual Angel.’ Just as a URL is essential for us to navigate anywhere on the internet. Beginning with Kim Lip's narration, the exhilarating, pouring rhythm encapsulates the album's dynamic.

For the title track ‘Virtual Angel,’ EL CAPITXN and Vendors, who created songs like 'Generation' and 'Girls Never Die' for Modhaus's junior group tripleS, joined forces for ARTMS. Building on Y2K-inspired Euro dance, they layered a sacred vibe reminiscent of a cathedral, completing a dance track with a fresh feel never heard before.

Now, with the advancement of AI and the reality of virtual existence, this song asks if the idols we have been consuming through TV and mobile phones were not, in fact, virtual all along. While the love and romantic feelings towards idols might not be considered real relationships by outsiders, between idols and fans, weren't those feelings truly love? ARTMS sings that emotions emerging beyond the screen can be real, not just virtual.

digipedi, who collaborated on building the worldview since LOONA, directed the music video, capturing the story of ARTMS and their fans.

‘Sparkle’ expresses the glittering sparks of emotion through music. Just as we say sparks fly when describing love, how many fireworks will unfold in our love? The fluttering excitement is etched in the voices of the ARTMS members.

‘The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy’ was a song saved as a title track, to the extent that it was slated as the title for ARTMS's next album. To ensure the completeness of ARTMS's debut full-length album, it was generously included. This song was gifted to the members by producer G-high, who created LOONA's representative song 'Butterfly,' and thus contains beats that can be loved by both existing and new fans.

All pre-released tracks, from ‘Flower Rhythm’ to ‘Candy Crush’ and ‘Air,’ were completed by sampling Heejin's solo song ‘Ka-hwa’ and ‘Algorithm,’ Haseul's solo ‘Plastic Candy,’ and ODD EYE CIRCLE's ‘Air Force One.’ This signifies that their individual journeys have converged to form one team, ARTMS.

‘Air’의 뒤를 잇는 ‘Unf/Air’는 사랑이라는 감정의 비대칭에 대해서 노래한다. 나는 너를 사랑하는데 왜 바라봐주지 않는 건지. 이런 unfair함에 대해서 담담하고 귀여운 표현법으로 담았다.

‘Distress’ regrettably took second place in the ARTMS pre-release vote, but it was such a high-quality song that it was the first track recorded during album preparation. The moment it was monitored in the first recording studio, this song already defined ARTMS's style.

‘Butterfly Effect’ tells the story of how LOONA's ‘Butterfly’ wing-flaps led to ARTMS. Inheriting LOONA's unique musical style and legacy—a genre that could itself be called 'Butterfly'—it has taken flight with ARTMS's own wings.

The final track ‘Birth’ achieved first place with overwhelming fan support in the ARTMS pre-release Gravity. And that 'birth' proves the existence of ARTMS. The already released music video captured ARTMS's aesthetic to the extent that it is considered one of the most brutal and beautiful visuals in K-POP history. 

The future of ARTMS, which announced its grand journey by revealing the schedule for its 'Moonshot' world tour even before the album's release, begins here and now.
