Mini Interview with SUPERKIND
We connected with K-POP boy group, SUPERKIND, where they answered a couple of questions for us. Check it out below.
You are a one-of-a-kind group made up of AI’s and Humans. When filming and recording, what has the process been like?
SiO: Although we have released music in the past, this is our first album with all seven members, so I think all of us were very excited about it, but at the same time, we felt a bit burdened. With seven members, we can create a richer sound and showcase various compositions and performances on stage. So, we really thought about how to present a stage to the general public that they would enjoy with both NUKE and PRID members. With the help of technology, we were able to realize scenes where both NUKE and PRID members could stand together to perform, as well as scenes where we interacted with each other.
Your new title track, “Beam me up (2Dx3D)” is a super catchy song. Can we expect more songs like these in the future? Is this the type of style and genre the group wants to pursue?
SiO: We aim to challenge ourselves with different music genres each time. All the tracks we’ve released so far, such as “WATCH OUT,” “MOODY,” and “Beam me up (2Dx3D),” are from different genres. We want to continue exploring new styles in each release. Additionally, we are already preparing for our next album, although I can’t share the details at the moment. We’re working on some fantastic songs, so please look forward to them.
