FT Island dropped its ninth EP Sage on Thursday, returning over one and a half years after its previous mini album Lock Up.
The three members co-wrote all six tracks including the main track of the same title. The rock tune that mixes strong drumbeats and guitar sounds encourage listeners to “sagely” take another step toward the road they chose, into the bigger world. The band performed all songs in advance at their concert held on Aug. 26-27.
“We believe we can take in wider spectrum of music and smoothly ease into the public, rather than going for music we want to make,” said Lee Honggi.
“It has been a long time since we all participated in writing lyrics and melodies of all tracks,” said Choi Minhwan adding that the new album seems to have completed their music spectrum. — The Korea Herald/Asia News Network
