‘Chic idols’ MBLAQ has finally revealed their album jacket photos for their first official album, “BLAQ Style.”
After releasing the first of their two title tracks, “Cry,” on January 3rd, the members will be returning on the 10th with “Stay“, which is described to have an addictive melody that will never leave your head.
The group will be holding their first fan meeting on the afternoon of the 9th, in which they’ll be performing their double title tracks for the first time for their fans. The release of their official album will follow on the 10th.

MBLAQ on their comeback album, independence from Rain, and Japanese debut
After coming back with a strong, addictive new track to conquer the charts this new year, the members of MBLAQ recently took part in an interview with Star News to express some of their thoughts they harbored during the preparations for their comeback.
The first point that they revealed was that they had returned to their ‘rookie mindsets,’ with Seungho concentrating on his piano lessons and G.O. focusing on writing and composing songs. Every track featured in their comeback album features the members’ individual voices and opinions behind the production.
Lee Joon revealed, “We always thought that we weren’t properly prepared, so we worked on everything right from the start this time around. As opposed to performing something made to show ourselves off, we’re planning to express clean music and choreography. Our first official album is extremely precious to us in that it’s filled with just our voices alone.”
MBLAQ has also declared a sort of separation from their mentor and creator, Rain. Their first official album prioritized the participation of all the members, de-emphasizing Rain and leaving him to work on an extra side track instead of the main title track.
The album also features the work of E-TRIBE, Wontag, Rado, and other indie hip hop and R&B musicians to give it an extra charismatic touch.
The boys also reflected on their past year, with G.O. stating, “We looked back on a lot of things such as the painful preparation we all underwent before our debut. We spent a lot of time on improving ourselves with writing music, studying, and exercising. It’s helped us get a lot stronger.”
MBLAQ also revealed that they’re planning for a Japanese debut this April. Lee Joon replied, “Before we even began a clear promotion cycle, fans from different Asian countries recognized and greeted us. We’re going to be lending our strength to the Hallyu wave soon.”
Seungho concluded, “We just want to enjoy the stage. We have to run as fast and hard as rabbits.”

Date: 2011-01-07 09:30 pm (UTC)Rain is not the first person to have this style of music, js. This is the style that suits MBLAQ, and it's no surprise that Rain would've made a group that fits into his musical genre. The point is they're breaking away from him by taking part in their own songs and album, instead of having him make the decisions for them.
Anyways, I'm so happy for them, AND PLEASE GOD LET THE ALBUM COME OUT SOON
