With just a few more days until its official release date, SEVENTEEN spin-off group CxM — comprised of members S.COUPS and MINGYU — provided a preview of their upcoming debut mini album, HYPE VIBES, on Monday morning (Sept. 22). The sneak peek at the six-track mini album due out on Friday (Sept. 29) came in the form of a three-minute mash-up of visuals for the songs from the K-pop boy band’s members.

The wild ride kicks off with the flute-looping hip-hop track “Fiesta,” in which the men take a road trip and party on the beach with some of their pals, before dipping into the more pop-oriented, “5, 4, 3 (Pretty Woman)” featuring Lay Bankz. That track rides on a bouncy Chic-like disco vibe while interpolating the chorus from Roy Orbison’s signature 1964 Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 hit, “Oh, Pretty Woman.”
Next up is “Worth it,” a Bieber-esque Korean-English language pop banger and the breezy “For You,” in which the duo take a run, cook a meal, play corn hole and frolic on the beach with adorable puppy. The reel ends with the sweeping ballad “Young Again,” accompanied by footage of the pair diving into the ocean from a yacht, surfing and lamenting that they’ll never “be this young again,” and “Earth,” a jittery EDM track with glitchy vocals to match the flickering visuals.
Both members of the 13-man South Korean boy band are credited with songwriting and composition on all six tracks from the upcoming EP. In the meantime, the whole group, which also features members — JEONGHAN, JOSHUA, JUN, HOSHI, WONWOO, WOOZI, THE 8, DK, SEUNGKWAN, VERNON and DINO — will hit U.S. shores next month for their SEVENTEEN WORLD TOUR [NEW_] IN U.S. The nine-show run will kick off on Oct. 11 at the Tacoma Dome in Tacoma, Wash., and feature stops in Los Angeles, Austin, Texas, Sunrise, Fla. and two gigs at Capital One Arena in Washington, D.C. on Oct. 29-30.
