Up and
coming stars, ALL(H)OURS have released their fourth mini
album, “VCF”. The title is an abbreviation for
“Vibe Check Failed” and is derived from the popular social media meme and slang
“vibe check.” Much like showing up to a party in a completely different dress
code by accident but still owning it, “VCF” takes
the group’s burning passion and ideals shared through their third mini album, “Smoke
Point” (February 2025) and builds on that
through “VCF” with music
that best highlights their own skills and charms over what’s currently trending
in the industry as part of the group’s initiative to keep moving forward and
overcoming all obstacles they face as artists and as a group.
“We put a lot of effort
into leading our listeners in a new direction with this fourth mini-album, “VCF”.
Instead of fitting ALL(H)OURS into a typical style or trend, we tried to really
define and show who we are in the K-pop scene. With stage presence that has
grown through our Asia and Europe fancon tour, we are ready to showcase
performances that are even more confident and energetic. Not only on stage but
also off stage, we hope to connect with Min(ut)es through various activities
and get even closer to them. ” – KUNHO, leader
of ALL(H)OURS
Containing a total of
five tracks, the album opens with ‘VCF’, a groovy hip-hop piece led by flashy
psychedelic synths and a deep sub-bass, effectively setting the album’s
“misfit” concept. Building off that energy, the hybrid trap-style title track
‘READY 2 RUMBLE’ crashes in with a thunderous sound that evokes growling
vocals.
The third track, ‘DO
IT,’ is rooted in the rhythmic groove of ‘90s new jack swing, enriched by heavy
808 sub-bass and modern synths. It balances retro vibes with a contemporary
edge. The fourth track, ‘GOOD JOB,’ features lyrics written by KUNHO, XAYDEN,
MASAMI, and HYUNBIN, delivering their own personal narrative through repeated,
catchy choruses and deep-toned rap. Despite its simple structure, it showcases
K-pop’s signature layered composition and emotional flow. Closing the album,
“La Vida Loca,” sung by the vocal unit of ALL(H)OURS, KUNHO, YOUMIN, MINJE, and
ON:N, diverges from the rap-heavy lineup by focusing on emotional melodies and
polished vocals.
“One of the things I
would like to point out in this album is that we have tracks sung by the rap
and vocal unit of ALL(H)OURS. ‘GOOD JOB’ features lyrics written by KUNHO,
XAYDEN, MASAMI, and HYUNBIN, with a powerful beat as its foundation, showing
all the unique colors of the rap unit. ‘GOOD JOB’ blends skillful verses with
an addictive hook, making it more captivating the more you listen. The vocal
unit song ‘La Vida Loca’ is sung by KUNHO, YOUMIN, MINJE, ON:N, combining the
drums and synth sounds with an emotional melody. We are confident to say that
the vocal performances, which have grown even more since the last album, will
leave a strong impression on listeners.” – YOUMIN,
member of ALL(H)OURS
From their debut to
now, ALL(H)OURS have consistently maintained their unique energy. With each
release, they continue to define their musical and visual identity. Through ”VCF”,
is yet another stepping stone in showing their artistic journey.
