K-pop boyband P1Harmony have started teasing their seventh mini-album, with the release of a snippet of new music
Yesterday (September 4), P1Harmony released a teaser clip titled ‘Out of Context ____’, which featured a new song from the group. The visual begins as a dachshund wearing a superhero costume crashes onto Earth, landing at the group’s hang out spot. The members later seem to develop superpowers of their own.
While P1Harmony have yet to share detailed information about their upcoming mini-album, the project will be released on September 20 at 1pm KST/Midnight EST. They have also dropped several concept photos for the mini-album, featuring the members posing in front of a burning house.
The new mini-album will come seven months after the boyband dropped their first studio album ‘Killin’ It’.
In June, P1Harmony wrapped up their 2024 ‘P1ustage H : UTOP1A’ tour, which spanned a total of 14 concerts in Seoul and the US. It marked their third concert tour, following last year’s ‘P1ustage H: P1ONEER’ and 2022’s ‘P1ustage H : PEACE’.
In other K-pop news, The Rose frontman Woosung has announced his 2024 ‘B4 We Die’ world tour ahead of his upcoming release ‘4444’. The singer will kick off the tour this October in Bangkok, Thailand, before heading elsewhere in Asia, Australia, Europe and the US.
Meanwhile, NCT’s Taeyong is set to release his first solo concert film Taeyong: TY Track in Cinemas this October. The movie will feature his February concert at the Olympic Hall in Seoul, as well as behind-the-scenes footage.
10cc drummer Paul Burgess has announced that he is leaving the band because the demands of touring have become too much for him.
The 75-year-old musician, who also spent time performing with Jethro Tull, Camel, Magna Carta, and The Icicle Works, has chosen to walk away from the legendary rock group after more than five decades.
He shared: “After so many wonderful years with 10cc, I must admit that the rigours of touring are no longer manageable for me as I get older, and I feel it’s time to let go of the long hours in airports and endless travel on buses.
“I’m not planning to stop playing altogether. I will still perform but at a pace that feels right, working alongside old friends and a new group of fellow musicians called The Guilty Men.”
Frontman Graham Gouldman confessed that it will feel unusual to perform without his “longest-running musical associate.”
He explained: “When Paul and I first joined forces in 10cc, we never could have imagined that we’d still be at it after 30 years, let alone 52.
“Paul has been my longest musical partner and it will feel different to turn around and see another drummer, but I completely understand why he no longer wants to sit on a plane for 14 hours or wake up in a new hotel every day for weeks at a time.”
Ben Stone, who has previously played with Mike and The Mechanics and Bonnie Tyler, will be taking over on drums.
Paul, who had several runs with 10cc after joining in 1973, performed his final show with the I’m Not In Love band in Alexandria, Virginia this past September.
The group is set to continue their And Another Bloody Greatest Hits Tour in the UK next year.
