MONSTA X
MONSTA X (Shownu, Minhyuk, Kihyun, Hyungwon, Jooheon, I.M) has demonstrated its worldwide influence with its new single.
On the 14th, MONSTA X’s American digital single “BABY BLUE”, released the same day, was widely featured by multiple international media outlets, asserting its presence.
On the 14th (local time), the American business magazine Forbes published an article stating that MONSTA X was entering a new era with its single “BABY BLUE“.
Forbes highlighted “Baby blue” by stating:
“MONSTA X, on the occasion of its 10th debut anniversary, reveals a more mature sensibility and opens a new chapter. While its previous track ‘Do what I want‘ was a confident hip-hop track, this new song offers a calm yet striking R&B harmony, electronic synths, and a minimalist tempo. It captures both the melancholy and warmth of memories of past love, achieving a genre expansion and an evolution of their sonic identity.”
After the single’s release, it was also announced that the group would join the “2025 IHEARTRADIO JINGLE BALL TOUR” in December, hinting at an even richer celebration of their 10th anniversary.
The British music magazine NME stated:
“MONSTA X offers a new sonic spectrum, based on a soft and emotional electro-pop beat, different from what they have presented so far. K-pop chameleons, MONSTA X refines and redefines every style and genre with each new album.”
This new single is the group’s first true American single in about four years, following the 2021 release of their second American studio album “THE DREAMING”. With “THE DREAMING”, MONSTA X entered the Billboard 200 for two consecutive weeks, asserting a strong global presence. Thus, “Baby blue“, built with deeper emotion and a distinct atmosphere, attracts strong interest from both the global fandom and international media.
The new track “Baby blue“ is a sensory electro-pop song describing the process of love slowly fading away. A lyrical melody and elegant synths convey both warmth and emptiness, beautifully expressing the memories and emotions that follow a breakup.
Furthermore, MONSTA X will join the “2025 IHEARTRADIO JINGLE BALL TOUR” starting December 12 (local time), beginning at Madison Square Garden in New York. The group will perform in four cities, marking their 10th anniversary in a spectacular way.
