The band hrtz.wav will collaborate with RIIZE’s Sohee on the title track of its new album. On the 25th at 6 p.m., hrtz.wav released the track list for its second mini album, “The Second Wave : MOMENTUM,” through its official social media accounts. According to the track list, the title track is “ALIVE (Feat. Sohee of RIIZE).” As RIIZE’s Sohee participates as a featured artist, attention is also being drawn to the music that the two acts will create together for the first time. The new album will include a total of six songs: the title track “ALIVE,” as well as “Mind,” “Sunday Morning,” “Play My Guitar,” “Thinkin’ Bout You,” and “First Daylight.” hrtz.wav has linked this comeback content with a festival concept. Following the previously released scheduler, which was produced in the form of a festival guide map, the track list was composed with a design reminiscent of a concert venue admission ticket stub. Different fonts and tones were used for each song to distinguish the mood of each track. hrtz.wav’s second mini album, “The Second Wave : MOMENTUM,” will be released through various music streaming sites at 6 p.m. on September 9.
