SEVENTEEN's new unit V8, composed of Vernon and The8, is releasing their first mini album 'V8', which explores the theme of 'consumed youth' through 8 tracks, including the title song 'singasong'. The album is a result of collaboration with global producers like Pharrell Williams and features a blend of Korean, English, and Chinese lyrics. The unit's debut is significant as it showcases the members' growth and creative vision.

bro I shouldn't be stuck on a 5-hour bus ride to Berlin right now, I should be on the floor dancing my ass off (still having fomo from the pre-listening party...) can't choose a fave upon first listen but god this is gonna be on loop for sure... I'm so happy they got to work with so many artists they like, I just know their concerts are gonna be a fucking blast also just gonna echo my thoughts on the MV thread: I love this + the album so much.. I really want to thank Minghao for pushing Vernon (who he says is so talented but isn't ambitious and it's such a waste if he doesn't do anything about it) in the best way possible and taking the initiative on making this duo happen

I am still listening but i know i’m going to love this because they seem to have gone full EDM here. My album of the year last year was Ninajirachi so this is right up my alley (as most of the stuff Vernon works on is since him and I have weirdly similar music taste.) I am especially loving the hyperpop sound of “singasong.” eta i haven’t gotten there yet but i forgot my fave Dylan Brady is on “ratrace” oh my god
