HYBE's Global Group &TEAM Unveils Tracklist for Second Full Album 'Yukiakari' (雪明かり)
On November 25, &TEAM (members EJ, Fuma, Key, Nicholas, Yuma, Jo, Harua, Taki, and Maki) revealed the tracklist for their second full album 'Yukiakari' through their official accounts. The album includes the title track 'Yukiakari' and four new songs: 'Deer Hunter,''illumination,' and 'crescent moon's wish' (三日月の願い).
Additionally, the album will feature Korean versions of 'Yukiakari' and 'Deer Hunter,' along with 14 previously released tracks, totaling 22 songs.
The album showcases an impressive lineup of producers. The title track 'Yukiakari,' meaning "light reflected on snow," was created by Vincenzo, known for his work with Highlight, (G)I-DLE, and Chungha. HYBE's founder Bang Si-hyuk and Soma Genda, who have been involved with &TEAM since their debut, also collaborated on the song.
'Deer Hunter' was produced by global hitmaker Cirkut, whose credits include Miley Cyrus's 'Wrecking Ball,' Maroon 5's 'Girls Like You,' Katy Perry's 'Roar,' BTS Jungkook's 'Seven (feat. Latto),' and collaborations with Rosé and Bruno Mars.
'illumination' was crafted by producer Knoak, who previously worked on 'Really Crazy' from &TEAM's first album 'First Howling: NOW' and 'Imprinted' from their second single 'Aoarashi' (青嵐). Knoak teamed up again with Soma Genda to bring this track to life.
'crescent moon's wish' marks a significant milestone for the group, as all nine members contributed to the lyrics. The song reflects their gratitude and promises to their fans, LUNÉ.
'Yukiakari' is the final installment in &TEAM's four-season series, which began in May. The album captures the essence of winter and serves as a culmination of the group's journey over the past year.
&TEAM's second full album 'Yukiakari' is set to release on December 18, presenting a comprehensive showcase of the group's artistic growth and achievements throughout 2023.
