The third mini-album 'lip bomb' by K-pop group RESCENE has received significant praise from IZM, a prominent Korean music webzine, further solidifying their musical prowess.
IZM highlighted RESCENE's continuous momentum, stating, "Following the viral success of 'LOVE ATTACK' and 'Glow Up' being selected by Billboard, RESCENE has maintained a relentless pace with their summer single 'Dearest' and the November release of their third mini-album 'lip bomb.'"
In particular, the title track 'Bloom' was lauded with high marks, with IZM commenting, "The popular appeal of 'Bloom,' an 8-bit track that begins with 32-bit hi-hats, is as unforgettable as injeolmi stuck to the roof of your mouth," awarding it 4 out of 5 stars. The webzine also praised other tracks such as 'Love Echo' and 'MVP,' noting, "The clear vocals of Liv and Minami supply energy to the entire group, and the clean sound with unconventional arrangements enriches the entire album."
'lip bomb' achieved a first-week sales record of 104,406 copies, marking a new personal best for the group and an exceptional feat for a K-pop girl group, demonstrating RESCENE's growing popularity.
With the album title 'lip bomb' symbolizing the spreading of RESCENE's unique 'scent' that gently envelops the heart like a berry-flavored lip balm, the album conveys a sincere message of self-belief, growth, and moving towards a long-awaited moment.
Meanwhile, RESCENE successfully completed their comeback week activities on KBS2's 'Music Bank' and recently delivered a celebratory performance at the '12th Edaily Culture Awards,' continuing their active promotions.
Netizens are reacting enthusiastically to IZM's positive review, with comments like, "As expected from RESCENE, they are musically solid," "This album truly has many masterpieces," and "Breaking 100,000 first-week sales is amazing! Let's hit it even bigger from now on!"
