MAMAMOO's Hwasa will finally drop her first solo mini-album, "María," today, June 29!
As expected, MooMoos (MAMAMOO's fandom name) can't contain their excitement to Hwasa's solo venture. She's currently trending on Twitter, with a plethora of fans, saying, "The queen is back!" She is set to officially debut as a soloist today at 6:00 p.m. KST.
Upon the release of the eerie teasers for Hwasa's upcoming title track, fans have been on the edge of their seats as they can't wait the singer will offer this time.
Last June 24, the sexy vocalist gave fans a sneak peek - the morte (death) version teaser - of what her fans should expect from her forthcoming music video. Then, on June 27, she unveiled the vita (life) version. Thus, the #QUEEN_IS_BACK rose to become one of the top trending topics on the bird app.
Finally, on June 27, Hwasa published the highlight medley of her solo mini-album, which now has almost 600,000 views on YouTube!
Hwasa's solo mini-album will be her first solo comeback since her single "Twit," which was released in February 2019. She is set to solidify her position as an unrivaled soloist.
As she has been loved for her unconventional concepts and performances, let's look at three things that one must look out for in "María."
Hwasa's "María" is to come out six years since her debut as an idol. In particular, she co-wrote the title song "María" and was named in the composition section, followed by participating in the songs "WHY" and "LMM" to increase her contribution to the album. As a measure of Hwasa's growth as a solo musician, she actively participated in styling and music video story planning and working on songs.
On top of that, the super-luxury lineup will support Zico's production and Kim I-na's songwriting track "Kidding," and DPR LIVE feature "I."
The title track "María" is Hwasa's self-composed song and will work with RBW producer Park Woo-Sang to show musical synergy. It contains a message of sympathy and comfort that he hopes to dream again for himself rather than torment himself in the wounds that have arisen in his life, and features Hwasa's other-self as "María."
Moreover, as the teaser for the new song shows, the contrast between Black Maria and Red Maria increases expectations by capturing her infinite charm.
Just as Hwasa's performance follows, she has proven her worth as one of the hottest topics in the K-pop scene with bold performances on various year-end award shows and other stages. She's expected to show a strong performance beyond her previous works, as she has demonstrated an honest and confident end to her girl crush charm on stage by presenting concepts and performances that always break expectations.
To this end, famous choreographer Lia Kim participated in the choreography of the new song "María," and already feels the explosive energy of the two.
Hwasa aims to show her growth as a musician through her first mini-album. As we speak, there are only less than four hours until she heats up more the sweltering summer season with her irreplaceable charm and musical prowess.
