There’s a new mystical release from rising K-pop boy band TOMORROW X TOGETHER on Monday (Oct. 21). Just a few months since they arrived with their debut EPThe Dream Chapter: Star in March, the five-member team, also known as TXT, have now released their first LP The Dream Chapter: Magic, fronted by the addicting electro-rock-infused dance track “9 and Three Quarters (Run Away).”
An upbeat, explosive tune that blends vibrant rock instrumentals with the quintet’s clear and bright vocals, which are given a larger-than-life quality through a variety of dynamic vocal effects and Auto-Tune, TXT’s latest is a fantastical, festive song that revels in the idea of running away to "get to the hidden 9 and 3/4” and turn their dreams into reality. Magic is a theme emphasized throughout the song’s lyrics ("Please take me now, to the magic named 'us'”), and outside magical mediums are also referenced throughout; the song’s title is a nod to the Harry Potter series, and the inclusion of the phrase “bibbidi bobbidi boo” is straight out of Cinderella.
