Today (14th), CNBLUE released their 10th mini album "X." The sound of vocalist and guitarist Jung Yonghwa, drummer Kang Minhyuk, and bassist Lee Jungshin stands out in this album, in which all members participated in the lyrics and composition of all tracks. The 10th mini album "X," released in Korea for the first time in three years, carries meanings associated with the number "10," such as being the 10th album and tenfold growth. The title track "A Sleepless Night," which Jung Yonghwa participated in writing and composing, combines pleading vocals with an emotional sound, leaving a deep aftertaste. It quotes poet Ha Sangwook's line "Is it you I miss, or that time?" depicting the situation where memories of a parted lover linger in the mind, with repeated memories and nostalgia still remaining. The music video has also been released, enhancing immersion in the song with captivating band sounds, poignant lyrics, and the members' sorrowful expressions. The limited edition Nemo album includes six tracks, including the title track, "BAD BAD," "RACER," "To. My Love," "Personal Color," and "Tonight." By exclusively providing members' photos, it sold out during the pre-order phase before official sales began, attracting attention. The 10th mini album "X" in the Nemo album is offered in high-quality FLAC music files, including videos, photos, and exclusive photos from the limited edition Nemo album. The case made from environmentally friendly bioplastic ECOZEN contains a miniature LP with a diameter of 4.5 cm. This product, called a tag LP, has NFC built-in, allowing listening through the Nemo app (FNC x NEMOZ) after logging in with a smartphone.
