UXLXVE Album Press Release
XLOV 1ST EP ALBUM 'UXLXVE'
With their first mini-album 'UXLXVE', XLOV aims to redefine the stereotypes of negative thoughts and emotions, as well as the various expressions that come with them, with XLOV's own message.
They took the original word “UNLOVE” and used the witty wordplay format they’ve consistently used since their debut, replacing the ‘N’ and ‘O’ with ‘X’, and focused on the meaning of a ‘double negative’, a possibility that can change into a positive number, just like how a negative number multiplies to become a positive number. ‘We don’t have to always live suppressing our NO’, ‘Thoughts or feelings that come across as negative have the right to be expressed as they are’, and by meeting like-minded creatures, they aim to additionally convey the message that ‘everything can end up being positive or the right answer’.
XLOV, their own bold challenge is once again truly contained in this album. The diverse thoughts, like the hearts of all beings who live while constantly colliding with various emotions, are expressed through diverse genres and stories. XLOV's stubbornness to not be limited to one genre and their identity 'freedom' is expressed through various music genres and styles, along with the ambition that 'we become a genre in and of ourselves as we are'. In addition, this album also aims to get closer to the public and fandom EVOL (이불) step by step with the unique producing of member 'Umuti', who is both the leader and producer.
The songs start with the main title track 'Rizz', a hip-hop R&B track based on the 808 trap sound, the sub-title track 'Biii:-p', which combines hyper-pop elements and is made with a strong bass and wide synth, 'Scent', an R&B number with a spoonful of sexiness on top of a sticky and dense track, 'Dirty Baby', which expresses one's own voice for freedom in the genre of Trap R&B on top of a sexy and dreamy groove, 'kiss and say goodbye', a ballad song in XLOV's style that expresses a mature breakup with a dreamy yet beautiful piano sound and melody, and the last track 'Drip Drip', which is a harmony of exciting uk garage rhythm drums and contrasting calm acoustic guitar, among these, the main title and sub-title tracks 'Rizz', 'Biii:-p', and the first ballad track 'kiss and say goodbye' show that Umuti's lyrics created the overall harmony and artistic sense of the songs.
