Extended Album | Royal Pirates – [3.3]

The Royal Pirates are coming back with their third EP [3.3] after a long time, and with it holds the meaning of being re-born as a band. In the process of making this third album, the Royal Pirates have faced the pain of creation, inner conflict and change, and more than anything else- bassist James’ sudden accident caused them to face an uncertain future with fear and uneasiness.

Even so, in the face of this tragedy they were able to unleash the latent music they had inside them without hesitation, and mature by bounds to create an even more meaningful album to show people, which is [3.3]. Each track has an addictive quality, with a strong melody and high energy and we anticipate that [3.3] will be a sensation all across the world.

Story ① | Royal Pirates in the Studio & Introducing their Producer

Coming back with a whole new sound, the Royal Pirates third album [3.3] has a rock base and includes various other genres as well. Each gem-like track was born in this place, the studio where the Royal Pirates and their producer met to record the album.

Left | Though hidden behind the mic, you can still feel how passionately he sings from his pose. Who is it?

Right | It’s Moon Kim, who is diligently recording with a new way of singing. In this album [3.3], you can feel that there are many changes, but the one thing that has become even more charming is Moon Kim’s vocals.

Also, another change! After changing his stage name to EXSY, he comes back with an edgier appearance as well. It’s Sooyoon (aka EXSY)! [3.3] features songs that all three members and Producer Jae Chong have written and composed, however the very last track is one EXSY wrote lyrics for alone. You can really feel his emotions.

EXSY and Producer Jae Chong are intently focused on their work.

It seems unfamiliar but isn’t- Producer Jae Chong’s back.

For the Royal Pirates’ third album, they are working together with world renowned producer in America and even China, former SOLID member Jae Chong. He’s bringing 80′s elements into 2015 by infusing all six songs on the album with a trendy sounding electric rock, retro dance, hard rock, and various other genres to bring you an album with a whole new charm.

Video ① | A Message from Producer Jae Chong

(Hello, I’m Producer Jae Chong. I’ve become the producer for the 3.3 album. It’s an album with rock, electro, and various other genres. There are many charming qualities to it. Please anticipate it!)

Story ② | Practice Sketch for the Showcase

In order to successfully perform all songs on the 3rd EP live at the showcase, let’s take a look at the practice room, shall we? The album features an even richer voice from Moon Kim, and melodies that are infused with emotion.

Drummer EXSY’s edgier appearance.

The thing that most influenced Royal Pirates’ change in sound is James’ change in formation. (position)

I thought SY was just messing around with that name when he started using it on his IG LOL

Looking forward to hearing RP's new music. Love Toxic is my favorite promo track of theirs (so far), so I guess it's very likely I'll enjoy these upcoming songs as well.

I do wonder though... Does James' new position implicate that his injury made him permanently unable to play bass, or is this rather something temporary while he's still recovering?
