Stray Kids to showcase 'ROCK-STAR' side with new album

K-pop boy band Stray Kids (SKZ) will release their eighth mini-album, "ROCK-STAR," stylized as "樂-STAR," along with its title track, "LALALALA," Nov. 10. With the release of a series of teasers, the group offers a glimpse into another musical spectacle.

The new album is expected to reflect SKZ's confidence in delivering its unique music under any circumstances, while staying true to its artistic vision. Notably, the title track, "LALALALA," was crafted by the group's in-house production team, 3RACHA, which includes members Bang Chan, Changbin and Han.

The group has also unveiled some surprises related to the new album.

In its "UNVEIL: TRACK" teaser, SKZ has given fans a preview of new songs and JYP Entertainment, the agency behind the group, has added to the excitement by releasing the music video teaser for "LALALALA" on its official SNS channel on Nov. 7, followed by a documentary-style teaser showcasing the making of the music video.

In addition, the group has already performed "MEGAVERSE" and "Leave," the tracks to be included in this album, at the "Stray Kids' 5-STAR Dome Tour 2023 Seoul Special (UNVEIL 13)" held at Gocheok Dome in Guro District, Seoul, on Oct. 21 and 22.

Other than the two tracks, the album will also feature a variety of tracks, including "LALALALA," "Blind Spot," "COMFLEX," "Cover Me" and the Korean version of the first Japanese EP album's title track, "Social Path (Feat. LiSA)."

SKZ, consisting of eight members — Bang Chan, Lee Know, Changbin, Hyunjin, Han, Felix, Seungmin and I.N. — recently concluded their first Japanese dome tour, performing at iconic venues such as the PayPay Dome in Fukuoka, Vantelin Dome Nagoya, Kyocera Dome Osaka, and Tokyo Dome.

Since its official debut in 2018 with the EP "I am NOT," the octet has gained a dedicated following with its explosive musical style. Fan favorites like "CASE 143" and "MANIAC" have solidified its reputation as prominent figures in the K-pop scene.
