Big Ocean, the world's first Deaf idol group, has returned with their latest digital single "Love Sign," marking its first release in approximately four months. The trio, PJ, Chanyeon, and Jiseok, dropped the track on major streaming platforms, showcasing their unique identity rooted in sign language. The title "Love Sign" cleverly incorporates the concept of star signs and astrology, with American, British, and Korean sign languages featured in the chorus hook, according to Parastar Entertainment.
The song is set to a nu-disco groove, characterized by a steady four-on-the-floor beat, funk basslines, and synthesizers. The lyrics are primarily in English, targeting an international audience. Described as the group's most mature work, "Love Sign" embraces a more subdued, moody atmosphere with moments where silence holds the strongest presence, rather than relying on direct declarations.
As part of their comeback, Big Ocean will make their appearance at New York Fashion Week, debuting the "Big Ocean x Andy Yu Debut Collection" with designer Andy Yu on Thursday (local time).
