<hyper-ego> Trauma Version [CD]

Artms - Trauma Version [CD]

ARTMS, one of K-pop's most visually and artistically distinctive groups, ARTMS, returns with a new album, . With “Virtual Angel” and “Icarus,” ARTMS established a distinctive blend of visual artistry and musicality unlike anything else in K-pop. Now, pushes ARTMS into a new creative dimension. The opening track, “From Wings To Soul,” begins with a surprise appearance from HaSeul, who is unable to join this album's promotions. Her heartfelt narration wishes the other four members the best before passing the baton to Jinsoul, carrying a message that even if they cannot be together on stage this time, they are always together. The title track, “Born Stunner,” pushes far beyond the boundaries of ARTMS's musical world. Heavy bass drops, constant shifting rhythms, powerful rap verses, and addictive hooks unfold one after another, giving the track an unpredictable flow. If “Virtual Angel” moved listeners through its meticulously crafted rhythms and “Icarus” built toward a powerful climax, “Born Stunner” breaks every expectation. This track boldly shatters the rules, pushes beyond familiar boundaries, and leaves a question, Is this really ARTMS? Along with digipedi, ARTMS has always challenged themselves to constantly redefine what a music video can be. This time, they invite fans into the experience through another unexpected experiment. Two music videos. One is fake. One is real. Hyper Realism. We call a copy of reality “fake.” But then... Why is that considered real? “Blue Blood” is a high-speed club track that blends hyperpop with J-Core. Cut me open and you might expect red blood to run through my veins. But no, mine is blue. At least, that's what I believe. “Icarus Gang” is a hip-hop track driven by powerful resonance bass and 808s. Like “Born Stunner,” it stands as a confident answer to anyone who asks whether ARTMS can really pull off something like this. This is ARTMS Core. “Hyper Crush” transforms ARTMS's relentless pursuit of the new into pure energy, capturing the group's freedom to keep pushing forward in an ordinary world. Closing the album, “Pixel Memory” explores the uncertainty that drifts between reality and memory. Is our identity truly shaped by our own will, or is it constructed by society's propaganda, just as “Birth” once questioned? “Fake It Love, Fake It All. Which one is real?”
