“YG’s Root Hip-Hop” Goes On—Treasure Returns With Mini 4th Album ‘New Wave’

The group Treasure (TREASURE) returned to global fans on the afternoon of the 1st by releasing the mini 4th album ‘New Wave (NEW WAVE)’ on the spot. YG Entertainment said the album is a signal flare marking Treasure’s next leap in music.

The comeback came about nine months after the mini 3rd album ‘Love Pulse (LOVE PULSE)’ released in September last year. As the group spent a long time preparing, it has been assessed as showcasing an even more mature musical capability.

In the new album ‘New Wave,’ a total of four tracks are included, including the title track ‘If I (IF I)’ and ‘Zoom Zoom’. Of particular note is that it is the first time since their debut that the entire album has been filled with hip-hop. Attention is drawn to expectations that Treasure’s intense energy will be maximized.

Treasure members introduced through their agency, saying, “An album packed with music that can be considered the root of YG Entertainment and our team.” They added, “We will prove Treasure that is clearly different from the 모습 we have shown so far,” expressing strong confidence.
