K-pop group Cravity finally releases new album after delay due to Covid-19

Published Mar 23, 2022 01:50 pm

K-pop boy band finally made their comeback on March 22 with the release of their new album “Liberty: In Our Cosmos.”

The album was originally scheduled to be released on Feb. 22 but all nine members of Cravity tested positive for Covid-19 between Feb. 12 and 20, resulting in the postponement of their comeback.

During an online press conference on March 22, Cravity’s Serim said they all suffered minor symptoms of Covid-19.

“Everyone is back in good condition, and we all suffered only mild symptoms and sore throats. Because we all had the virus, a lot of the people around us, including our fans, were very concerned, and we were able to recover fast thanks to everyone,” he said, the Korean Herald reported.

Woobin said during the time, “we tried to see the bright side of the situation and took it as a chance to look back on ourselves and prepare even more. As our fundamental goal is to improve and grow with every release, it was good in that sense.”

“Liberty: In Our Cosmos” features the carrier track “Adrenaline” in which Serim and Allen became songwriters. The other tracks in the album are “POW!,” “Outro: In Our Cosmos,” "Chandelier," “Flip the Frame,” “Late Night,” “Maybe Baby” and “Boppin.’”

The album, said Minhee, is “about high school kids. The album shows the emotions of free-spirited rebels, going against reality and making the most of life and growing inside it.”

“If the first album was about us yearning for freedom, the new album shows us completely free and enjoying that freedom,” according to Wonjin.

About their goals for the new album, Seongmin said, “Although numbers aren’t everything, it felt good to hear the word ‘career-high,’ and we hope to feel that again with this album. We hope our name, Cravity, stays long on Billboard and other music charts, in and out of the country, this time.”

“I think we’re still dashing towards our goal. Although we still have more room to grow, we’ve definitely improved in many aspects -- in our chemistry between the members, and in our performances and singing. Our original goal was to debut and make albums, and now we want to stand proudly in front of our fans as an all-around group,” said Taeyoung.

Cravity will hold a concert on April 2 and 3, and according to Wonjin, “The concert has been on our bucket list since before our debut, so we’re very much looking forward to it.”

“We will be communicating with fans through an online livestream as well and we’ve put in a lot of our opinions into shaping the concert. We know what our fans want the most, and that was the most important part in planning the upcoming show,” he said.
