NMIXX's Confident Growth Stage

Group NMIXX is set to make a comeback on May 11th with their fifth mini-album, 'Heavy Serenade,' marking their return after approximately seven months. Last October, they achieved a No. 1 spot on music charts with their first full-length album's title track, 'Blue Valentine,' gaining significant public popularity.

Since their debut, NMIXX has established the 'MIXXPOP' genre as their own territory, solidifying their position as a group that can be trusted to deliver quality music. This new release is expected to focus on vocals and emotion, serving as an extension of their previous work rather than a radical departure.

Building anticipation for their comeback, NMIXX pre-released the music video for their B-side track, 'Crescendo,' on the 28th. The song uses the musical term 'Crescendo,' meaning 'gradually louder,' to liken the growing feelings towards another person. The unique, unconventional beats and sounds characteristic of 'MIXXPOP' were effectively utilized to highlight the members' vocal charm and emotions.

The 'Crescendo' music video portrays the process of the members breathing life into a post-apocalyptic world with mystical and sensory visuals. It visually realizes a 'MIXXtopia' that comes alive with the members' synergy, enhanced by the depiction of nature regaining its vitality towards the latter half, adding to the immersive experience.

While based on a variation of 'MIXXPOP,' this song is an 'easy listening' track that emphasizes vocals and emotion, aligning with the mega-hit 'Blue Valentine.' Although the song's structure is more dynamic, it faithfully supports the members' captivating vocals and narrative, effectively showcasing NMIXX's unique yet comfortable sound.
