Already having proven themselves as one of the more musically adventurous K-pop bands with 2024's
1ST ALBUM: Killin' It
,
P1Harmony
deliver another stylistically varied production with
SAD SONG
. Central to the album is the somewhat ironic title track, a Latin- and hip-hop-infused anthem that immediately sets the album's tone of exuberant, body-moving energy. From there,
dive into more of their hooky, throwback '90s R&B and pop with "It's Alright," "All You," and "Last Call," all of which evoke a fun, K-pop-take on the classic new jack-swagger of bands like
Tony! Toni! Toné!
and
Bell Biv Devoe
