K-pop boy band ALL(H)OURS drops mini-album 'Smoke Point'
K-pop boy band ALL(H)OURS under Eden Entertainment released their third mini-album “Smoke Point.”
The new mini-album represents the temperature at which an oil begins to smoke, symbolizing ALL(H)OURS’ continued rise.
“Through our third mini-album ‘Smoke Point’ promotion, we plan to show a more upgraded performance and showcase the unique color of ALL(H)OURS. With the bright mood of 'Graffiti' and slightly heavier, powerful charisma of ‘Gimme Gimme,’ our double title track, we believe listeners will be able to fully experience the sweet and bold contrast of ALL(H)OURS,” said Kunho, a member of the group.

“Smoke Point” opens with the introductory track, “Smoke Point,” which introduces a new sound design featuring a combination of synth bass grooves and a powerful new jack swing rhythm.
The album debuted at No. 4 on Korea’s Hanteo Chart daily physical album chart for Feb. 4.
The EP has a double-title track. The first, “Graffiti,” was released on Jan. 17 to raise anticipation of the album.
The second title track, “‘Gimme Gimme,” is a dance track built around a straight combination of wild guitar riff, explosive bass and drums.
“Graffiti” and “‘Gimme Gimme” both demonstrate two distinct facets of ALL(H)OURS’ style.
“Kings & Queens” features a fast-paced melody with R&B hip-hop elements, while “Freaky Fresh” expands ALL(H)OURS’ broad musical spectrum with its glitchy synth sounds that will make a strong impact on listeners.
With the release of “Smoke Point,” ALL(H)OURS also released a music video for “‘Gimme Gimme.” The video is set in a rural setting with the scenes filled with many futuristic elements and action sequences that include car chases, fierce battles, and of course, ALL(H)OURS’ signature powerful choreography.
“Shooting the music video was so much fun. To capture the vibrant scenes, I mounted the camera directly on my body, and it wasn't just any typical camera, it was very expensive; it was over ten thousand dollars! I had seen a clip of Will Smith wearing this same camera and tech while filming Bad Boys 4, and was really excited to be filming in a similar way. Wearing the camera myself while shooting the music video was a very different and new experience for me,” said member Minje.
