The rock band JANNABI is preparing to release its fourth studio album.
On October 7, JANNABI announced through an official teaser video on its social media that its fourth studio album, “SOUND OF MUSIC PT.2 : LIFE”, will be released on October 21.
This new album is a work in which JANNABI “rewrites their way of singing about life through music.” The subtitle “LIFE” reflects the group’s unique philosophy, previously expressed in “Dreams, books, power and walls (꿈과 책과 힘과 벽)“, “슬픔이여 안녕“, and “외딴섬 로맨틱 (I know where the rainbow has fallen)“. The members calmly observe the traces of time they have passed through, delicately developing a narrative that spans from youth to adulthood.
The teaser released alongside the announcement hints at the warmth and poetic sensitivity that define JANNABI. The orchestral melodies convey the group’s signature dreamlike emotion and naturally evoke their iconic ballads from previous albums: “뜨거운 여름밤은 가고 남은 건 볼품없지만” (1st album), “주저하는 연인들을 위해” (2nd album), and the mini-album “가을밤에 든 생각”.
The “SOUND OF MUSIC” series is a two-part album project. While the first part, released last April, expressed the hope, energy, and romance of youth, this second part serves as its autumnal counterpart, imbued with deeper, more reflective emotions. True to its image as a “seasonal band,” JANNABI’s music, returning just as autumn arrives, signals the comeback of a group said to be “more awaited than a grilled autumn mackerel.”
Previously, on July 29, JANNABI delighted fans with the surprise release of “SOUND OF MUSIC : SUMMER VACATION EDITION!”, a special album delivering a free-spirited and joyful summer vibe. In August, the band reached a new career milestone by holding their first concert at the Gymnastics Stadium, an achievement celebrated with the concert “모든 소년소녀들 2125”, which concluded with great success.
JANNABI’s fourth studio album, “SOUND OF MUSIC PT.2 : LIFE”, is anticipated to be a summative work encapsulating their vision of life, condensing the emotional essence of autumn and presenting JANNABI in its most authentic form. Continuing the narrative from last spring, the album will unfold, through the prism of “LIFE”, the joys and sorrows of existence, interpreted through the group’s distinctive philosophy and musicality.
JANNABI’s new autumn album, marking the close of summer reminiscence, will be released on October 21 at 6 p.m. KST on major online music platforms.
