The South Korean team fight every different to outlive on this darkish, cinematic entice anthem
Upright days after shedding their mega-hit EP ODDINARY, South Korean powerhouse Stray Kids return with a tune video for the be aware “Venom,” the 2d single from the file. The EP changed into ushered in with the lead single “Maniac” which launched on March 18th. “Venom” changed into previously teased on the team’s “Unveil: Track” clip on March 13th.Written and serene by Stray Kids’ in-team producer unit 3RACHA (comprising HAN, Changbin and Bang Chang) “Venom” is a gritty, entice and hip-hop song with rich, looping synth. The team’s rappers are actually in their element as they use the more efficient beat to say their very like praises their flows. The vocalists deploy tender falsettos and harmonies to invent up to the future bass fashion anti-tumble at the chorus. The lyrics instruct a frantic must flee from one thing darkish and addictive, the use of a spider and its paralyzing venom as a metaphor for the discipline; “I got caught yet again pretending no longer to clutch on my draw/ I knew I couldn’t find out of it, however I got caught yet again/ I’m trapped in this sticky net/ Prison, the lethal venom has already unfold.” The sense of panic is heightened by the rap line’s highly efficient offer on their verses and the vocalists’ haunting takes on the pre-chorus.
The tune video is a departure from the identical old choreography-heavy Stray Kids fashion and specializes in a miserable storyline which sees the individuals fight every other for survival. A robotic spider lurks ominously as the showdowns launch up–the individuals use poison, weapons, a boxing ring and more as they’re attempting and flee the hellish discipline. (Spoiler alert: very best rapper Felix and vocalist Seungmin make it at the tip.) It’s injurious and slower, delivering a new aspect of the team over yet again.ODDINARY is Stray Kids’ sixth EP and contains a total of seven tracks alongside with “Venom.” A day before the file’s launch, the team’s sign JYP Leisure announced that ODDINARY had hit a total of 1.3 million pre-orders, making Stray Kids the first artist under the sign to sorrowful the 1,000,000 pre-whine gross sales.
