Stray Kids recently dropped their new mini-album “ATE,” after much teasing and expectations from members like Bang Chan. Before the release, they stated that this EP would be “very new, very different,” as well as “very genuine and authentic,” and oh boy, did they deliver!
Unsurprisingly, “ATE” became an instant hit in the United States, charting at No. 1 on the Billboard 200. The mini-album, crafted by the members themselves, (Bang Chan, Changbin, and Han under the name 3RACHA) is a cocktail of fresh sounds. For example. “Chk Chk Boom” takes from reggaeton, while “Runners” has spicy dance music and drum and bass influences. The record’s slow song “twilight” takes a jazzy approach, slowing down the tempo.
Now, Billboard has decided to celebrate Stray Kids’ blend of innovation and authenticity. From the experimental “Chk Chk Boom” to concert-ready “MOUNTAINS,” here are the hottest tracks on ATE:
- Chk Chk Boom.
- Stray Kids.
- twilight.
- I Like It.
- MOUNTAINS.
- Runners.
- JJAM.
