ALL(H)OURS releases behind-the-scenes footage of [UNBOUND] recording sessions

The group ALL(H)OURS has released behind-the-scenes footage showing the intense recording process for their new mini album [UNBOUND]. Produced by XAYDEN and YOUMIN, the video captures the members fine-tuning vocal tones for the hip-hop B-side track 'Siren' to better reflect the group's worldview.

Records of the intense recording sessions for the group ALL(H)OURS, aimed at enhancing the quality of their new mini album [UNBOUND], have been released. The behind-the-scenes video, produced by XAYDEN and YOUMIN, captures the members performing their respective tracks and exchanging directing instructions.

"A signal, not paradise"... the meaning of 'Siren' connecting to the group's worldview

A notable aspect of this recording process is the attempt to link the song lyrics with the group's worldview. The members emphasized that the track 'Siren' is closely connected to the concept of this album. 'Siren' is a song about the intuitive signal of a heart realizing that a place it initially sought out as paradise is not, in fact, paradise.

The core message of the song is embedded in the lyric "Ring ring on my purse." This serves as a device connected to the heart's signal (Siren), and the members focused on fine-tuning their vocal tones during recording to bring out the meaning of the lyrics. One member expressed anticipation for the lyrics that pierce through the worldview, stating, "I love the lyrics."

Hip-hop styles highlighting member individuality... Producer XAYDEN's directing

XAYDEN, participating as a producer, suggested specific styles to draw out the distinct charms of each member. He instructed YOUMIN to sing in an R&B style with "flavor" rather than a street feel, while providing paradoxical directing to another member, asking them to capture a "laid-back" or "casual" feeling similar to their practice sessions to adjust the song's atmosphere.

The footage also showed considerations regarding the weight and individuality of the rappers. Having felt regret over the previous structure where rappers only had short parts in title tracks, the production team focused on implementing a hip-hop style in this B-side track that maximizes the members' individualities. The members increased the song's completeness through processes such as being asked for heavy tones or adjusting their rhythm.

Recording sessions completed through intense repetition and adjustment

The atmosphere in the recording studio was filled with tension and heat toward achieving perfection. The members repeated recordings until they achieved the desired tones. Directing such as "Should we mix the breath?" or "Let's make the sound a bit firmer" continued, and the members coordinated by adjusting their tones or rhythm accordingly.

One member emphasized that this song is "completely hip-hop" and revealed their efforts to blend their voice well into the track. Until the final B-side recording, which lasted about one hour, the members finished the work by coordinating even the smallest details to create the best possible results for their respective parts.
