NOWZ is back with brand-new music in their first mini-album, ‘IGNITION’.

IGNITION

Opening the album is the pre-release single ‘Fly to the youth’ (feat. YUQI). This track charms with a refreshing pop arrangement, layered with beautiful instrumentals and delicate vocals. Its heartwarming tone sets the stage for a dynamic release.

Next up is the title song ‘EVERGLOW’, which stands out with its rock-driven arrangement and thrilling build-up. The hook is angsty and emotional, starting with soft vocal layers and building into gritty rock vocals. It’s bold, unexpected, and very impressive. The music video features an artsy, candid aesthetic that still incorporates intense choreography.

‘Problem Child’ is a fusion of EDM and hip-hop, this track hits hard with bold arrangements and killer rap verses. The vocal line matches the energy with rich tones and fierce delivery.

We move into playful territory with ‘Louder’, this track has a bounce that’s undeniably catchy. The transitions are seamless, and the bridge is a standout moment that keeps the listener hooked.

Closing this release we get ‘DAY_AND’, this is the softest track on the album and NOWZ’s first fan-dedicated song. With gentle vocals and sincere lyrics, this is a sweet and emotional closer—a perfect thank-you to their fans.

‘IGNITION’ is a bold and colorful debut mini-album that highlights NOWZ’s versatility, passion, and potential. Don’t miss out—give this release a listen now.
