K-pop group ARrC drops new music with Billlie's Moon Sua X Siyoon
Multinational K-pop group ARrC released a new single album, “CTRL+ALT+SKIID,” which features Billlie’s Moon Sua X Siyoon.
It includes the title track “Skiid” that was teased during the promotion of their most recent mini-album, “Hope,” and “WoW (Way of Winning) (with Moon Sua X Siyoon)”
Moon Sua X Siyoon officially debuted as girl group Billlie’s first unit with the release of their digital single “Snap (feat. sokodomo).”
“This collaboration went beyond just working together—it was a time that inspired me greatly musically,” said Hyunmin, member of ARrC.
“Skiid” introduces a new groove called the “Skiid rhythm” by placing a unique upbeat on the snare within a 4/4 rhythm. Although the overall arrangement is minimal, each sound used in the track has a distinct character, creating a richly textured sonic palette.
These ideas are expressed through digital language such as “404” and “system down.” Everything slides ("skiid" is meant to be skid, but the extra 'i' represents ARrC’s reinterpretation of the familiar shortcut combination CTRL+ALT+DEL, the first keys people think of when the system stops, by replacing the final key “DEL” with “Skiid” they have created their own unique form of reboot), smears, and loops.
“Working with Moon Sua and Siyoon was a meaningful experience, where I learned how to truly enjoy performing on stage,” said And, member of ARrC
“WoW (Way of Winning) (with Moon Sua X Siyoon)” is a pop-house dance track based on the UK garage genre, but like the title track, it also has a minimal structure overall. This ensures each sound carries a clear character, resulting in a three-dimensional, meticulously crafted sonic arrangement.
Moon Su and Siyoon participated in the track as vocalists and lyricists.
“As musicians who love music, it was a great experience to share this creative journey together. I hope that our collaboration on ‘WoW (Way of Winning)’ serves as a meaningful opportunity for growth for all of us,” said Moon Sua.
Siyoon said, “Inspired by ARrC’s passion, I really enjoyed recording and working on this track. It’s a song where different generations and emotions naturally come together, and I hope many people will listen and connect with it.”
The album was released in three versions: CTRL, ALT, and SKIID, and is available in both “platform album” (a smaller album with a QR code for album streaming through the Ever Music app and exclusive photocards) and “beauty album” formats. The “beauty album” has been produced in collaboration with the global K-beauty platform Jolse and the beauty brand Keyth, featuring unique album items, including a hand cream.
ARrC will continue expanding their global reach throughout Asia and the rest of the world for the rest of the year.
In August, the group visited Indonesia to appear on national television shows, including “Brownis on Trans TV” and “Inbox Nite” on SCTV, perform at local schools with students, and open a pop-up store as part of a collaboration with Karafuru, one of Asia’s most popular digital character IPs.
In early September, ARrC held their first fan meeting in Tokyo, Japan.
