I was looking at the comments and fans were saying the sound and teaser videos reminded them of Billie Eilish a bit.īang Chan: Aw yeah! We're real fans of Billie's music. It’s fun, it’s something we can experiment with, and it really expands our spectrum and knowledge of music.Ĭhangbin: The genre we were trying for was psychedelic trance.īang Chan: It is EDM-based music, once again, and I guess you could connect that with "Miroh" which is like an EDM banger. "Side Effects" and the new tracks see you playing with some new dance-music sounds. What genres did you play with on this album?īang Chan: Stray Kids always try new music. And through that, we believe we can help each other. It wasn't easy at first, but now that we're a group of nine members, we wish to share all of our past hardships to Stays in the future. I guess Stray Kids just want to say, we go through it as well.įelix: As Bang Chan mentioned, went through that same hardship back in our trainee days. Jeff, I'm sure you've gone through some hardships yourself. And it's not just us, all the Stays as well. What I really wanted to say was that, yes, Felix and Changbin have gone through a lot, pretty personally, but so has everyone in Stray Kids. Each story is just connected with each other through choices and, I guess, when we make a choice, we don't know if there will be side effects or not.
So, if there are people out there going through those tough times, we hope our song helps them relieve some stress.ĭuring your time in America, Bang Chan actually mentioned how members like Felix and Changbin have gone through "a lot." Can you share a bit more about what you were referencing then?īang Chan: Everyone in Stray Kids goes through hardships and everyone has their own personal story.
So, we want to give some kind of comfort to them. There are many people - including Stray Kids - going through the same phases. There needs to be a special reason why someone chooses a specific path and we want to spread the specific message to never give up. There are times when the resources they need don't come right away, so they get worried if they're going the right way or not. I heard you name drop the new single "Side Effects." Can you share more about it?Ĭhangbin: Many young people get confused when pursuing their goals. As long as we keep going, I feel like we can get really far on this road. This road that we've chosen, we're giving Stays and a lot of people a lot of good energy. But as long we're together, because we chose to go into this road, we need to be responsible on it. Looking at your careers at large, how will Stray Kids continue along a road not taken?īang Chan: Well, I can't really predict the future - I'd love to! - but in this road that Stray Kids have taken, there may be some ups, some downs, there may be some side effects that can occur.
What's different, and what's a bit more special, is that now it's something we've chosen to go into. Same for Clé 2, it is a series and just like Miroh, the Yellow Wood is a new place that Stray Kids are experiencing. We're entering this new road that only we chose to take and I think that's what we're about.Ĭan you explain the Clé 2: Yellow Wood album title a bit more too?īang Chan: Clé 1 and Miroh, refer to a place we made. It's meant to show that we decided towards taking a road that is less taken by anyone else.
After Clé 1, in the "Miroh" music video, we're in this new dimension, right? But in the trailer and teasers, we go from the rooftop on "Miroh," take the elevator to go down, but then we push a button called "YW," which stands for our new album Yellow Wood. So, it's darker? Can you explain this darker chapter in the larger Clé story?īang Chan: "Darker" says a lot. Billboard: How's everyone feeling ahead of the new album dropping?Ĭhangbin: Nervous, but we are looking forward to Stays' reaction.įelix: We can't wait and we hope this performance will surprise Stays by showing a darker vibe.
