EL7Z UP 1st Mini Album '7+UP' (QUEEN ver / PUZZLE ver.)
[Album Introduction]
The group 'EL7Z UP' will debut on September 14, 2023 with their first mini album [7+UP].
'EL7Z UP', which means 'the best seven members you puzzled', is a girl group born through Mnet's 'Queendom Puzzle'. 'Hwiseo, Nana, Yuki, Kei, Yeoreum, Yeeun, and Yena' were confirmed as the final seven members after fierce competition, and as 'EL7Z UP', they are waiting for their first meeting with 'EL7Z U' (official fan club name).
'EL7Z UP's first mini album [7+UP] contains the meaning of a high-quality album where the best seven members gather and create synergy.
It will be released in two versions: the 'QUEEN' version, which contains the individual identities of 'EL7Z UP', and the 'PUZZLE' version, which expresses the kitsch and unique charm of 'EL7Z UP'.
The first mini album [7+UP] contains a total of 5 tracks, and the title song 'CHEEKY' contains the meaning of surprising the world with EL7Z UP's unique feeling, which is different from others. It is a song characterized by the confidence of the MZ generation, who go their own way no matter what others say.
In addition, 'Die for You' and 'Cloud 9', produced by Ryan Jeon, who created numerous girl group hit songs, are included, as well as 'Undercover' by producer team Melange of Kobee, who composed ITZY (Not Shy), and 'Hideaway' by KZ, who has worked with numerous girl groups such as WJSN, Apink, Oh My Girl, IZ*ONE, and Kep1er.
1. Die for You
"Baby I would die for you"
The first track, 'Die for You', creates a lyrical feeling with dreamy synthesizers, and the emotional melody line and groovy bass line are impressive. It is a medium-tempo song that creates a mysterious atmosphere with unique vocal chop sounds and the members' tones and harmonies.
2. CHEEKY
"I don't care what you say"
'CHEEKY' starts with a powerful bass, creating a cool atmosphere perfect for hip-hop choreography. As it moves to the chorus, most of the instruments are removed and a soft melody is presented, and the drums tie the first part of the song together with a contemporary tune that is easy to hear, coloring the world with a sensual style and color.
The playful expression that we may look Cheeky when we are all together, but we are Little freaky-deeky, represents the attitude of 'EL7Z UP'. The core of the lyrics is the confidence of the MZ generation, who go their own way no matter what others say, and that there is no wrong answer, so go wherever your heart takes you.
3. Undercover
"So what? It Don't matter"
'Undercover' is a hip-hop song with a strong bass and lead sound as the point, and expresses the familiar yet unfamiliar relationship between the 'EL7Z UP' members and fans by comparing it to Undercover (disguise), expressing secret and thrilling emotions in a variety of ways.
4. Hideaway
"We shine, we burn, we're a mess"
'Hideaway', which opens with an addictive whistle sound and a lonely acoustic guitar, is characterized by a powerful 808 bass and a powerful and explosive melody line. It is a song that contains the ambition to escape from the frustrating and boring reality, dream of freedom and ideals, and fly higher.
5. Cloud 9
"Every moment we walk together seems dazzling"
'Cloud 9', with its sweet vocal harmony, features a combination of unique pluck sounds and acoustic guitar sounds. The heavy drum sound leads the song, and the addictive chorus and hook make the unique tone of 'EL7Z UP' stand out even more.
