Our boys from AMPERS&ONE are officially back with their second mini-album ‘WILD & FREE’, and we couldn’t be more excited. According to MELON, the theme of this album revolves around “communicating with each other and forging your own path,”—and as always, we’re curious to see how this concept plays out sonically. Let’s dive into the tracks and explore this solid release.
WILD & FREE
We kick things off—literally—with the title track ‘Kick Start’, and it’s an instant energy booster. With heavy bass and a hip-hop-driven rhythm, this track is cool, vibey, and smooth all the way through. The progression keeps you hooked, and the music video takes it to another level with a fun concept, crisp cinematography, and sleek choreography.
A rhythmic guitar sets the tone for ‘My Mistake’, a bright and refreshing dance-pop track that highlights the group’s charming vocals. The smooth build-up and crisp production make it a delightful listen from start to finish.
Things slow down just a little for ‘Who Are You’, where R&B-pop takes center stage with trap elements woven into its smooth mixing. The vocal layering is dreamy, and the rap sections flow naturally, giving the track a laid-back yet impactful energy—plus, that bridge is golden.
If retro grooves are your thing, ‘I Know You’ is the track for you. Mixing 80s influences with a modern twist, this emotional and passionate song is all about killer back vocals, a groovy beat, and perfect ad-libs. It’s nostalgic but fresh—an unexpected standout.
This track flips the switch into upbeat pop with playful energy. ‘Knock Knock’ is a burst of synth-pop goodness, and the transitions between vocals and rap sections are executed to perfection. It’s catchy, fun, and undeniably addictive.
The album wraps up on a soft and comforting note with ‘WYD’, short for “What Are You Doing.” It’s a gentle pop ballad driven by warm piano and simple, heartfelt instrumentals. A cozy, emotional closing track to a truly dynamic mini-album.
With ‘WILD & FREE’, AMPERS&ONE deliver a stunning showcase of versatility and musical growth. From hard-hitting basslines to sentimental ballads, this mini-album is packed with personality, creativity, and charm. Don’t sleep on this one—check it out now and let us know your favorite track!
