release new single ‘Animal’! Video Premiere set for February 1
Releasing their latest track ‘Animal’ today, BALLISTIK BOYZ from EXILE TRIBE are a dance and vocal group who are aiming big. Since their April 2018 formation, they have set their eyes on one goal: Their ambition is to go on a global stadium tour.
The group's seven members sing and rap while performing highly acrobatic dance routines. And while they are based in Japan, each member has his own unique ability with a second language. Three members lived together in New York for three years to brush up their English skills, while another began his road to fluency in Chinese by teaching himself, and yet another member has a Brazilian mother and speaks native Portuguese.
BALLISTIK BOYZ are a global-standard boy group who are leading the next generation of stars with authentic music and impressive dance performances, touring extensively not only in Japan but also in Malaysia, Hong Kong, Thailand, Indonesia and Vietnam on the road to world domination.
Now, BALLISTIK BOYZ have released their latest track, ‘Animal’, which is available from today, January 27. A full single release with bonus tracks will follow on February 3.
Produced by DJ and producer Cory Enemy, who has previously worked on music for Lady Gaga, Katy Perry and Carly Rae Jepsen, ‘Animal’ is an R&B song with a minimalist beat and multiple layers of rich vocals and rap from the seven BALLISTIK BOYZ members. The track's smooth backing groove stands in contrast to the group's emotional vocal performances and passionate lyrics. Listen out for playful production tricks and samples such as coins spinning on a desk.
The music video for ‘Animal’ will premiere on Monday, February 1 at 19:00 JST. Visit the YouTube page to set a reminder so that you don't miss it when it drops!
