RESCENE Returns with a Scent of Nostalgia
K-pop girl group RESCENE (composed of Woni, Liv, Minami, Mei, and Jenna) is making a highly anticipated comeback. On July 2 at 6 PM KST, the group will release their second single album Dearest, featuring two tracks—‘Deja Vu’ and ‘Mood’—on major music platforms.
A Musical Letter Wrapped in Familiar Scents
Dearest is a heartfelt album that hopes to linger in listeners’ memories like the faint scent of grass after rain. RESCENE aims to create an emotional echo that quietly resurfaces over time, leaving a gentle but lasting impression.
Title Track ‘Deja Vu’: A Retro Pop Dance Experience
Led by a groovy bassline and analog synth layers, the title track ‘Deja Vu’ captures familiar yet elusive moments—people, places, and feelings we’ve all encountered. The song invites listeners to walk down memory lane in anticipation of meeting those moments again. The B-side track ‘Mood’ takes a more introspective turn, blending dreamy R&B with a narrative about personal growth at the crossroads of emotion.
Behind the Scenes: From Ice Cream to Flying Flowers
During the music video shoot for ‘Deja Vu,’ Mei shared a standout moment where she had to shake out flower petals from her clothes on a footbridge—an unrepeatable scene captured in a single take. Meanwhile, Jenna talked about trying a new ice cream flavor while filming with Minami and Mei, remembering it fondly as a sweet surprise.
How and When to Enjoy ‘Deja Vu’
Woni recommends playing ‘Deja Vu’ during your daily commute to uplift your steps, while Minami suggests it’s especially powerful at sunset, when the day comes to a wistful close.
Signature Choreography to Match the Mood
Liv described the key dance move mimicking a boomerang during the line “Deja Vu”—an expressive gesture of something returning. Jenna added that there’s also a heart gesture during the “like we’re dreaming the same dream” part that adds warmth to the performance.
How RESCENE Wants to Be Remembered
Liv hopes Dearest will be remembered as a familiar and comforting album, like a well-loved memory. Mei wishes the group’s name becomes more widely known and that their ‘scent’ travels even farther.
