The alternative rock band has just unveiled a powerful sonic preview of its first full album, promising a bold and captivating artistic evolution.
The wait is almost over for lovers of organic sounds. This Sunday, January 18 at midnight (KST), CATCH THE YOUNG reached a crucial milestone in the promotion of its first studio album titled « EVOLVE ». Through a nearly five-minute “Highlight Preview” video, the group under EVERMORE ENTERTAINMENT revealed the many facets of this record.
The medley showcases an impressive range of sounds, from energetic rock anthems to deeply sensitive ballads. The opening track “Evolution prelude” immediately draws attention with strong lyrics such as “Wake the silence with your screams, shout loud at the center of the world,” setting a tone of liberation. On the other hand, other previews reveal a moving vulnerability, like in “Better days” with “The sky I’m looking at is clear as if no one were there, but my own silhouette looks even sadder.” This contrast between stage power and lyrical introspection appears to be the backbone of the album.
As the listening continues, we discover tracks with more urban and modern rhythms, where bass and drums intertwine to create an addictive groove. The group also explores universal themes of change and resilience, with hopeful messages like “Je vais voler à nouveau… après de nombreuses larmes, attends-moi pour me trouver à nouveau” in “Hurricane.” This ability to turn pain into creative strength seems to drive this project, offering listeners an immersive and therapeutic experience.
Visually, the highlight medley pairs each track with polished graphics and an aesthetic that reinforces the identity of this new era. CATCH THE YOUNG is not just playing music; they are telling a story, that of an essential artistic transformation. International fans are already unanimous about the production quality, noting that every track in the medley has the potential to be a standout, which is rare for a first full album of 14 songs.
The first studio album « EVOLVE » by CATCH THE YOUNG will officially be available on all streaming platforms on January 21, 2026, marking the beginning of a major new chapter for the band.
