'Star Trace' already has a live debut
HYPERDRIVE drops digitally on October 12, with the physical edition following on October 13. Six months have passed since mini album Caligo Pt.2.
Fans caught "Star Trace" before the tracklist even dropped. Plave surprise-performed it during the encore at their first world tour KEEP IT MANIC at Incheon Munhak Stadium. Walking into an album release already knowing the title track shifts the whole pre-release momentum.
Five tracks, all five members in the writing room
The full tracklist for HYPERDRIVE:
- "Star Trace" (title track)
- "꾼"
- "푸른 하늘에 단비"
- "The Answer Is Yes"
- "Rewind"
Yejun, Nam Noa, Bambi, Eunho, and Hamin all wrote on every track. The closing track "Rewind" brought in outside help: hitmaker Kenji (KENZIE) and production team KZLAB.
