Stray Kids has announced the birth of a new famous album. JYP Entertainment, on August 22, is set to release Stray Kids' 4th full album 'KARMA', and is sequentially releasing high-quality preview content such as trailers, preview images, and 'UNVEIL: TRACK' through their official YouTube channel. On the afternoon of the 13th, they released a signature preview video 'Stray Kids 'KARMA' Mashup Video', which allows fans to see a part of the sound sources included in the new album ahead of time. This video includes snippets of all nine tracks included in this album, such as the title track 'CEREMONY', 'Peak Processing', 'CREED', 'MESS', 'In My Head', 'Half Time', 'Phoenix', 'Ghost', and '0801'. The EDM-based mashup conveys a unique mood and a sense of speed that blows away the summer heat. Visual expressions using logos and graphics representing each song, such as the phoenix wings of 'Phoenix', the whistle of 'Half Time', and the firecrackers of 'CEREMONY', along with behind-the-scenes portraits of the eight members, incorporate their unique fun. The 4th full album 'KARMA' will include a total of 11 tracks, including the nine songs featured in the mashup video, as well as 'CEREMONY (Festival Version)' and 'CEREMONY (English Version)'. The group's internal production team 3RACHA, consisting of Bang Chan, Changbin, and Han, who have produced all albums since their debut, is credited on all tracks, showcasing their exceptional abilities. This album is their first new release in about eight months since their SKZHOP HIPTAPE 'HOP', which topped the Billboard 200 chart for six consecutive weeks. It is also their first full album release in two years since the 3rd full album '★★★★★ (5-STAR)' in June 2023. Following the successful completion of their largest world tour 'Stray Kids World Tour 'dominATE'' from August 2024 to July 2025, attention is already gathering for the new music and upgraded stage that Stray Kids will showcase. Stray Kids' 4th full album 'KARMA' will be released simultaneously worldwide on August 22 at 1 PM (Eastern Time, midnight UTC).
