CNBLUE, has released their 3rd full album 3LOGY, a comeback to the music scene after approximately 1 year and 3 months. Having headlined numerous major festivals, CNBLUE has consistently impressed audiences with their overwhelming skill and music, proving why they deserve their headliner status. With this album, CNBLUE promises another exciting and new stage performance.
Their 3rd full-length album, 3LOGY, embodies a system completed by the three members of CNBLUE, each forming their own axis and maintaining a balance. Since their debut, CNBLUE has consistently maintained their identity as a band, and through this album, they weave together their past, present, and future into a single narrative.
The title track, ‘Killer Joy,’ is a pop-rock song with a dramatic and dynamic progression based on a modern sensibility. It features unpredictable dramatic developments, explosive energy, and an impressive minimalist drum beat. The song conveys a bold declaration to “kill” the repetitive daily routine and boredom tonight, leaving only pure joy with CNBLUE’s unique energy. Starting minimally with guitar and vocals and then exploding into a full band sound, this song instantly proves why CNBLUE is a band that “dominates the stage.”
The music video which begins in the confined space of a rehearsal room, captures the process of CNBLUE’s music gradually expanding and connecting with the audience on a single stage. The band sound, built up by vocals, guitar, bass, and drums, connects people across space and conveys the exhilarating feeling of a closed world opening up through music. CNBLUE’s unique energy and vibrant live performance deliver a powerful sense of liberation.
As expected of a full-length album, the new release is filled with rich tracks that have been meticulously crafted over a long period. In addition to “Still, a Flower,” released earlier this year, and the title track “Killer Joy,” the album includes “Ready, Set, Go!”, a British rock track featuring Jung Yonghwa’s powerful vocals; “Lowkey,” a self-composed song showcasing Kang Minhyuk’s delicate emotional range; “To The Moon And Back,” expressing the desire to reach out to a loved one; “Bliss,” a British rock genre track; “Again,” a ballad song with lyrics and music written by CNBLUE; “The Temperature of Memory,” a self-composed song where you can feel Lee Jungshin’s broad emotional spectrum; “Little Things,” an alternative rock style song creating a warm atmosphere; and a Korean version of “Anthem of Life,” the title track from their 14th Japanese single “JINSEISANKA.” A total of 10 songs are included in “3LOGY.”
Once again, led by Jung Yonghwa, all members of CNBLUE participated in writing and composing all the songs on the album, further enhancing its quality. In particular, “3LOGY,” the album where CNBLUE is credited as co-producers for the first time, clearly reflects the band’s identity and direction accumulated over a long period, signaling the birth of a new masterpiece.
Through this new album, CNBLUE once again asks and answers the questions: Who are we, where do we stand now, and what kind of world will we create in the future? CNBLUE’s answer to these questions is contained within their third full-length album, “3LOGY.”
