NMIXX, the renowned K-pop group, has released their sixth mini-album, Strange Muse, on Monday. This innovative project ventures into uncharted creative territories for the sextet. The album's standout track, the title track "Birthday Wish," showcases a genre-blending sound, combining future house with moombahton. This distinctive style merges slowed-down house synths infused with reggaeton's rhythmic bounce, set against Afro-house influences.
The track transitions from high-energy dance beats to a serene piano and vocal interlude before reaching a crescendo in a narrated bridge. In a statement from JYP Entertainment, the group members expressed how this album marks a significant milestone in their careers, as members Lily, Haewon, Sullyoon, Bae, Ji-woo, and Kyujin take on songwriting and composition tasks for the first time.
The album also explores the concept of unique sub-units within the group, with pairings like Lily and Haewon on "Sing to the Moon," Sullyoon and Bae on "Hot 'n Unbothered," and Ji-woo with Kyujin on "WHIP," each highlighting the distinct dynamics of the members.
