Kiss of Life Invites you to lose yourself in thier newest album
By: Bella Lee
Kiss Of Life, known for their mature musical flavor, has just released their latest album Lose Yourself to the world. The album features seven intoxicating songs, each showcasing the members’ talents. The album solidifies the Kiss Of Life (aka KIOF) sound in the South Korean music space. It is a mixture of throwback 90s- style beats and modern vocal structuring, which attests to Kiss Of Life’s talent overall.
Natty, Belle, Julie, and Haneul debuted as Kiss Of Life in July of 2023. The name “Kiss Of Life” represents the girl group’s main goal, which is to breathe a new life into the music industry. The four members shocked the world with their first single “Shhh,” bringing a maturity that is not commonly seen in the debut space of South Korean Pop music. To further prove the girls’ talents, their debut EP Kiss Of Life features a solo song from each of the four members. Since the summer of 2023, these four girls have taken over the South Korean music scene and gathered international acclaim. International fans are in love with the maturity of KIOF and cannot get enough of the music.
KIOF fans (lovingly named “KISSY”) are over the moon with Lose Yourself. “Igloo,”
the title track of the album, has already sparked inspiration in the music scene. Many fans have posted dance covers to the title track and have enjoyed the overall vibe of the song. Other songs on the album take the same KIOF flavor and add new inspiration or ideas into the Kiss Of Life discography. The song “R.E.M.” may be a direct tribute to Ariana Grande’s song with the same name on her Sweetener album. Everything from the harmonies to the chill but sultry beat embodies the KIOF sound. The album moves effortlessly between the 90s- inspired production to the dance-centric and anthemic pieces. Every piece of the album adds new life into the KIOF legacy.
Although Kiss Of Life is only in their first years in the music industry, they have already created an international wave of listeners who are wanting more and more from the girls. All four of the girls are extremely talented songwriters, performers, singers, and dancers. They add to each other’s strengths in a way that can only be experienced live. All of Lose Yourself points to a specific member’s strength. Whether that be their vocals, stage presence, or performance. The “Get Loud” music video already has over 9 million views on YouTube, and the numbers keep climbing. KIOF has blessed their fans with this album, leading into their first world tour, starting in November of this year. KISSY around the world get to experience Kiss Of Life live in front of their eyes.
