  • We’re Going ‘CRAZY’ Over LE SSERAFIM’s Latest Comeback

    We’re Going ‘CRAZY’ Over LE SSERAFIM’s Latest Comeback

    LE SSERAFIM have been everywhere and live rent-free in our minds for the entirety of 2024, so it’s wild to think it’s already been six months since their last comeback. EASY was already enough to make 2024 yet another iconic year for the group. But LE SSERAFIM have never been known for holding back: they’re back even more fearless than ever with their fourth mini-album, and we’re going ‘CRAZY‘ over it.

    The Title Track

    ‘CRAZY’ is unlike anything we’ve seen from LE SSERAFIM – yet it feels so natural for them. LE SSERAFIM have never been scared of trying new things, taking inspiration from various music and dance styles. They make it their own each time by creating something new and unique. ‘CRAZY’ is precisely that. The song is eccentric yet extremely fun and already iconic with lines that never leave your mind, such as “All the girls are girling girling” and “Act like an angel and dress like crazy.” LE SSERAFIM know how to make an iconic comeback, and with ‘CRAZY,’ that’s what they did – again.

    The house sound with the strange energy they bring is unique and perfect for LE SSERAFIM. This vibe is put exceptionally well into image with an even stranger music video full of fun circumstances, quirky outfits, off-putting settings, and so much more, making this music video a cinematographic masterpiece. But the big highlight of ‘CRAZY’ is, of course, the voguing. The song comes to a climax by the end, and we get to see the girls vogue alongside the iconic House of Juicy Couture. LE SSERAFIM went all in with this release. They did something we couldn’t have even dreamed about. And they ate.

    The B-Sides

    In typical LE SSERAFIM fashion, CRAZY opens up with a fantastic talked intro song: ‘Chasing Lightning,’ showcasing their most electrifying side. This intro goes perfectly with ‘CRAZY’ with its EDM house sound and bold energy. It raises the power to the roof, which is perfect before getting into the craziness of the title track.

    ‘Pierrot’ takes the first bold turn in CRAZY. LE SSERAFIM leave the house music behind to showcase another side to them with an addictive hip-hop track with unexpected elements. It’s 2024 and we finally got Yunjin showcasing her opera singing skills in one of their songs. Incorporating classical elements into ‘Pierrot’ simply elevates the song to be a masterpiece. With a bass line opening the song, we knew ‘1-800-hot-n-fun’ would rock our world. But this song isn’t exactly new to us as LE SSERAFIM played this song during their first Coachella performance earlier this year. And this party song is bold, electrifying, fun, and full of LE SSERAFIM’s unique personality.

    ‘Crazier’ is the perfect full circle to close off LE SSERAFIM’s fourth mini-album. This track was not only written by Yunjin, but she was also one of the main producers behind the song, which already makes it extra special. Going from house to rock influence in this mini-album, ‘Crazier’ is the moment that strips down everything and lets the emotions and vulnerabilities show. It’s the perfect opposite to the overflowing confidence of the rest of CRAZY. This heartbreaking ballad might be the best slow song in LE SSERAFIM‘s discography. Yet another proof of their growth as artists and as a group.

    LE SSERAFIM are not only crazy talented, but they’re also one of the most unique groups out there – and ‘CRAZY’ is the perfect proof of it. They’re never scared to come up with new things and explore different genres and influences, even within one mini-album. Every track out of CRAZY is already at the top of all our playlists, and that’s how iconic LE SSERAFIM is.

  • Designing Our Dream LE SSERAFIM Comeback While We Wait For CRAZY

    Designing Our Dream LE SSERAFIM Comeback While We Wait For CRAZY

    Honeybees, are you ready for LE SSERAFIM Season to take full effect? CHAEWON, SAKURA, YUNJIN, KAZUHA, and EUNCHAE are officially making their comeback with the CRAZY mini-album on August 30th, and we can’t wait to see what they have in store for us! The title track of their last comeback, ‘EASY,’ was their first-ever song to make it onto the Billboard Hot 100 in the U.S., so you already know they’re ready to take on the world this time around.

    While we wait for CRAZY to come out, we’ve been reflecting on LE SSERAFIM’s past comebacks and the beautiful albums and visuals they’ve given us over the years. And naturally, we’re daydreaming about what the perfect LSF comeback would be like. Press play on your favorite song they’ve released so far, and join us as we do a little creative directing! 

    The Aesthetic

    We got our first taste of the CRAZY era with the logo motion video, which shows LE SSERAFIM’s logo being struck by lightning. Is this our first taste of the aesthetic for CRAZY? The main things that jumped out to us in the clip are the halftone, comic-like effect that’s over their logo, the lightning and glitches, the hearts, and the bright colors. It’s kind of giving superhero, so that will be the vibe we go for with our comeback concept.

    The Sound

    The CRAZY logo motion video ends with what might be our first teaser of this era’s sound, specifically with a little “da, da, da, da” vocal clip. There’s so much potential there! LE SSERAFIM has played with quite a few sounds throughout their career, from the pop-punk jam ‘No Celestial’ to the Afrobeats-influenced ‘Smart,’ so there’s a lot of room to grow with this comeback. But we need a really powerful energy for a superhero theme, so we’d probably go in a pop-rock direction! 

    The Styling

    We think a superhero concept would need bold styling, maybe something like LE SSERAFIM did for the Balmy Flex version of EASY! Think of bright colors, unique hairstyles, and flashy accessories that help them channel their superpowers. They’d also have a set of more casual chic outfits for when they need to blend into a crowd, probably in black and white, to draw less attention.

    The Album Inclusions

    Let’s be real: the best part of having one of your favorite groups make their comeback is finally getting your hands on a physical album and seeing what cool inclusions you have inside! The hero theme we imagine would have so much potential for a physical CRAZY album, starting with a comic-themed photobook. Inclusion-wise, we’re thinking of your typical gorgeous LE SSERAFIM photo cards with some unique extras: first, a special ID trading card with one of the members that highlights her superpower. Next, a lenticular photocard that goes back and forth between showing one member in normal clothes and showing off her superhero outfit!

    The Title Track Music Video

    Finally, it’s time to imagine the music video for our pop-rock ‘CRAZY’ title track! We think it’d be a pretty epic introduction to the superhero storyline, following LE SSERAFIM as they work together on a mission. The opening frames would show a comic book. Then, as the camera zoomed into one of the pages, it’d take us into the book and LSF’s crazy world! They’d battle enemies on rooftops, fly over busy streets, and make it look ‘EASY’ while doing it.

    What do you think of our concept for the CRAZY mini-album? Do you think we’re on the right track for what LE SSERAFIM’s new era will bring? Let us know in the comments below or hit us up on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter!
