Producer and Artist PENOMECO is making a comeback with an album that fully showcases his musical capabilities.

On the 22nd at 6PM KST, PENOMECO released his new EP ‘Organic2’ through various online music platforms.

‘Organic2’ is his first release in about 1 year and 2 months since his EP ‘Rorschach Part 2’ was released in June of last year. PENOMECO has demonstrated his musical confidence by selecting three of the six tracks in his album as title tracks.

This album includes three title tracks that are expected to captivate music fans : ‘AURORA, which garnered attention with Crush’s participation, ‘ASURABALBALTA’, which creates a unique atmosphere with its heavy beats and chant-like melody, and ‘SODA’, which features a beat that feels like bursting soda and a refreshing brass melody.

In addition, the album is completed with high-quality tracks such as ‘ORGANIC’, characterized by its intense sound that builds up in steps, ‘GARANGBI’, which compares a lover to a butterfly, and ‘ICN’, which depicts the tender moment of reuniting with a loved on after a journey.

‘Organic2’ features tracks that highlight PENOMECO’s signature charisma and his delicate yet soft emotions, and it is expected to deliver a cohesive sound with the same Afrobeats genre as its predecessor, ‘Organic’.

PENOMECO has previously achieved significant success, entering genre charts in the UK, Norway, and Sweden with the track ‘BOLO’ from ‘Organic’ and making his mark on various international charts including Spotify. As a result, there is heightened anticipation from music fans for this album as well.

Meanwhile, PENOMECO’s new EP ‘Organic2’ will be available on various online music platforms from 6PM KST on the 22nd.

PENOMECO returns with the EP ‘Organic2’, about a year after the release of the EP ‘[ Rorschach ] Part 2’.

‘Organic2’ is an EP album featuring six tracks, including the title tracks ‘AURORA (feat. Crush)’, ‘Asurabalbalta’, and ‘SODA’. The album starts with PENOMECO’s signature intense charisma and transitions into a gentle atmosphere, offering a deep and delicate experience.

Following the 2021 single ‘Organic’, ‘Organic2’ is a series album that not only reflects the ‘Afrobeats’ genre, as with the previous album, but also delves into the fundamental nature of PENOMECO as a person. The album features six upgraded tracks that deeply explore his essence.

ORGANIC

The first track, ‘ORGANIC’, opens the album with a forceful sound and Afrobeats rhythm, perfectly capturing the essence of its title. It features a striking contrast between the heavy bass sound and the sharp tone of the vocals, with an intensity that builds step by step.

Asurabalbalta

‘Asurabalbalta’, well-known as a line from the character ‘Pyeong Gyeong Jang’ in the movie , is the title track of the album. Though difficult to define precisely, ‘Asura’ refers to the malevolent Buddhist deity symbolizing ‘ugliness, chaos, and horror’, while ‘Balbalta’ suggests a sense of purpose, creating a charm for good fortune. The lyrics, including phrases like ‘Evil spirits, back off’, ‘I draw my bow’, and ‘Let’s plant a totem pole’, combined with the chant-like melody, effectively capture the mysterious atmosphere of the title. The track blends the organic essence of the Afrobeats genre with PENOMECO’s unique Korean pop sensibility, offering a fresh musical experience.

SODA

The second title track, ‘SODA’, is a perfect summer song that highlights a refreshing, bubbly vibe. The beat, reminiscent of fizzy soda, is complemented by lyrics like ‘Twinkling’, and ‘Sparkling’, further enhancing the sense of freshness. The occasional appearance of bright brass melody lines adds a colorful touch to the summer atmosphere.

Garangbi

‘Garangbi’ stands out with its more subdued tone compared to the previous tracks, capturing the essence of a rainy summer rather than a bright, sunny one. This track features a captivating hook and enchanting lyrics, where the narrator compares his beloved to a butterfly, expressing a desire to keep her close by drenching their wings so she can’t fly away.

AURORA (feat. Crush)

‘AURORA’, the main title track, enriched by the participation of R&B artist Crush, captures the essence of the night. The repetitive vocal lines over a simple rhythm and melody further highlight the Afrobeats-inspired beats, adding depth and variety to the track.

ICN

The final track, ‘ICN’, carries a calm and chill atmosphere, depicting the moment of meeting a loved one returning from a journey at the airport. In this track, the narrator can be seen as PENOMECO himself, while the loved one symbolizes the listener. The song reflects the artist’s gentle warmth as he welcomes the listener, who has share
