One of K-pop’s leading boy bands, 2PM, returns with a collection of pop-dance songs on their fourth Japanese album, 2PM of 2PM. As their previous three albums caught on swiftly in Japan, the idols return to beat the hearts of their overseas fans with yet another release. When the new album was launched, it reached number one on the Japanese Oricon Albums Chart. The collection covers a full range of styles, including not only dance-pop tracks but also love ballads.

The album includes songs from the Japanese-language album Guilty Love and the popular song “Go Crazy!” from the Korean-language album of the same name. The songs mix elements of pop-dance, jazz and electronic sounds.

The 2PM fan club, Hottest, will be pleased with the new tracks which show the fun and romantic characters of the six boys. The vocalist, Junho composed several songs including the enjoyable “365,” which was written to thank their fans. The song, “Goodbye Again” shows a gentle side of the band as it puts string sounds under their sad lyrics. Experience the full range of emotions yourself on 2PM of 2PM. — TC
