Earlier on Tuesday (May 4), South Korean publication Star News reported that the K-pop act were set to release a new mini-album on May 25 with a concept described as “warriors from the future”. The outlet also claimed that the group were currently preparing for their comeback and have finished filming a music video for the project’s lead single.
On May 6, the girl group dropped a cryptic teaser for their upcoming project, apparently titled ‘Last Melody’. The video confirmed the project’s May 25 release date, but also noted that it will be a single album and not a mini-album, as previously reported. Other details for ‘Last Melody’ have yet to be revealed.
‘Last Melody’ will be EVERGLOW’s first official release since their sophomore mini-album ‘−77.82X−78.29’, which arrived in September 2020 and featured the title track ‘La Di Da’. The group previously released the track ‘Let Me Dance’, a remake of South Korean singer Lexy’s 2003 song, for the soundtrack of the TV series The Spies Who Loved Me.
The six-member act – comprising E:U, Sihyeon, Mia, Onda, Aisha and Yiren – originally made their debut in 2019 with the song ‘Bon Bon Chocolat’ from their first-ever single album, ‘Arrival Of Everglow’. They are the first K-pop girl group launched by China-based talent agency Yuehua Entertainment. The company had previously partnered with Starship Entertainment in 2016 to jointly launch WJSN.
