New EP 'Wrld' to be released May 30
The Rose, one of the most popular Korean bands in the global music scene, is back with new music after a hiatus of a year and a half.
On Friday, The Rose announced the upcoming release of a new EP, "Wrld," set for May 30. Known for a wide musical spectrum ranging from powerful sounds to emotionally comforting melodies, the band said through its agency, Transparent Arts, the new album will "blend the essence of our early emotions with genre experimentation on a musical journey." The album is set to explore themes of self-reflection and growth in The Rose's unique style.
Having debuted in 2017, the four-piece band has established a strong presence in the global music scene with its distinctive sound and deep emotional resonance.
In April 2024, The Rose performed at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival.
The year prior in 2023, the band performed at multiple global music festivals, including Lollapalooza iterations in Argentina, Chile, Brazil, Stockholm and Chicago. The group also took the stage at BST Hyde Park in London.
The Rose's first full-length album released in 2022, "Heal," fittingly delivered a message of healing. It reached No. 4 on Billboard's Heatseekers Albums chart. The Rose's second full-length album released in September 2023, "Dual," marked the band's first entry on the Billboard 200.
"Wrld" releases at 1 p.m. on May 30.
