HEART OF WOMAN are back with their first mini album. Blue Brown Records' five-member group released 'ETERNAL FADE' on November 5 at 6 p.m. KST, about five months after debuting in May with the full album 'Heart Byte : LEGACY'.

The six-track set is led by double title songs 'Melt' and 'LIT IT', with b-sides 'Footsteps', 'Blue', 'Glow' and 'Find U'. Korean outlets citing the agency describe 'Melt' as a UK garage and drum and bass dance track (music video out October 28) and 'LIT IT' as a heavier 808 bass and trap hip-hop cut; member Ryuin is credited with lyrics on 'LIT IT'. Official music videos for both titles are live on the group's YouTube channel.

STARNEWS's release-day Q&A frames the project as a white-to-black concept arc that ends with fans ('Harties') in the closing track 'Find U'.

Reported by other outlets

Analysis

Interpretation by 2FC NEWSROOM, not reported fact.

2FC NEWSROOM: A same-day double-title drop with both MVs live makes this a clean first-comeback beat for a small-agency fifth-gen act expanding past its debut Y2K sound.

Conflicts of interest: None. Chosunbiz English translation mislabels a member as 'Jang Wooyoung'; STARNEWS and Hanteo News both list Jihyun, Chaei, Ain, Riri and Ryuin — those five are used here.
