Deaf K-pop group Big Ocean has returned with their most mature release yet, the digital single "Love Sign." The trio - PJ, Chanyeon, and Jiseok - dropped the track on major streaming platforms after a four-month hiatus. The title of the song draws inspiration from star signs and astrology, incorporating American, British, and Korean sign languages into the chorus.
The single features a nu-disco beat, with lyrics mostly in English, aimed at an international audience. Nu-disco is a dance music genre that combines a steady four-on-the-floor beat, funk basslines, and synthesizers, popularized by K-pop acts with strong overseas fanbases. The agency behind Big Ocean described the new track as the group's most mature work, emphasizing its focus on "gaze, mood, and moments where silence carries the strongest presence" instead of overt declarations.
Big Ocean will be making its debut at New York Fashion Week next, launching the "Big Ocean × Andy Yu Debut Collection" with designer Andy Yu on Thursday (local time).
