By Kim Jae-heun


Idol girl band 4Minute have released a new track, "Hate," produced by popular American electronic music producer and DJ Skrillex. The new song features much stronger charismatic tone which is a big change from the group's original girl-crush concept.

"We met Skrillex when he visited Seoul," main vocalist Heo Ga-yoon said during a press meeting at club Octagon in Gangnam, Seoul, Monday. "We thought that it would be fun to do a collaboration with him because we all enjoy his music.

"We worked many hours online when Skrillex went back to the United States. Hate is not the only song that Skrillex produced for us, but we choose the song as the first release because it was addictive," added Heo.

Rapper Jeon Ji-yoon suggested that the viewers watch the group's performance at the same time while listening to the song.

"We played our track to our parents first before releasing it to the public, and they thought the music was too difficult. But when they watched our dancing in the music video, they liked it much more," said Jeon.

The beginning of Hate is a soft and sentimental ballad but turns into a hip-hop electronic dance music beat in the chorus. Popular American choreographer Parris Goebel designed the dance moves for the song.

The new song comes one year after the release of the album "Crazy" in Feb. 2015. That album topped the Chinese music chart "QQ Music" for 10 consecutive weeks, raising the girl band to stardom.

"It has been eight years since we debuted and our fans have high expectations. The new album was difficult for us because our previous album was very successful. However, we will do our best to meet expectations" said Kim Hyun-a.

The K-Pop group's contract expires this year and one of the members Nam Ji-hyun said the new album will decided whether the group will go on together or not.

"We haven't talked about our contract expiration yet, because we were concentrating on working on our new album. It has to turn out a success for us to go on," Nam said.

4Minute's 7th mini album "Act.7" was released online worldwide Tuesday. The track Hate has entered iTunes' top 10 in six Asian countries including Malaysia, Hong Kong, Thailand, Ukraine, Singapore and Taiwan.
