Rookie group NEWBEAT has unveiled dual concept teasers for their first mini album LOUDER THAN EVER, presenting contrasting aesthetics ahead of the November 6 release.
On November 3, the group shared group teaser content and concept imagery showcasing two opposite visual directions. The "Connecting Signal" teaser video features all members displaying warm smiles and youthful energy, with leader Park Minseok offering a gift box that conveys a sense of innocence and heart.
The release introduces the White (Kitten by Sunlight) and Black (Demon by Midnight) concept versions, each delivering a distinct visual identity. In the White version, members sport fresh and natural styling with white tops and denim pants, presenting relaxed poses that emphasize their mature yet boyish charm and a sense of freedom. The black version takes an opposite direction with sleek, cut-out, detailed black leather outfits that showcase intense charisma and a confident, sexy aura.
LOUDER THAN EVER marks a significant step in NEWBEAT's global expansion, as the entire album has been crafted entirely in English. The group collaborated with prominent international producers for the project, including Neil Ormandy, who has worked with aespa and multiple Billboard Top 10 artists, and Candace Sosa, a composer known for her involvement with BTS albums.
The mini album will feature double title tracks: "Look So Good" and "LOUD." "Look So Good" reinterprets early 2000s pop R&B retro vibes with contemporary production, while "LOUD" merges bass house foundations with rock-infused hyperpop energy. The complete tracklist includes "Natural" and "Unbelievable" as additional songs.
Prior to the album's official release, NEWBEAT will showcase one of their double title tracks through pre-release performances on SBS funE's "The Show" on November 4 and MBC M and MBC every1's "Show Champion" on November 5.
The album becomes available across major online music platforms on November 6 at 12 p.m. KST. This comeback arrives approximately eight months after the group released their debut full-length album RAW AND RAD in March, during which they expanded their global presence through performances at major festivals and the establishment of their official fan club NEURO.
