Fresh Look, Fierce Attitude
If you thought NMIXX was sticking to their bubbly image, think again. The rising K-pop rookies just served a dramatic glow-up for their upcoming first full-length album, “Blue Valentine,” dropping on October 13 at 6PM KST.
In teaser photos released at midnight on September 29, the girls ooze charisma like they’ve stepped out of a moody, cinematic universe. Think shattered glass apples, icy stares, and cryptic messages like “To you, whom I love the most but hate.” Basically, it’s your favorite rom-com turned psychological thriller—and fans are here for it.
What’s in the Album?
“Blue Valentine” packs a generous tracklist of 12 songs, offering a kaleidoscope of moods. The title track itself sets the tone, while member-written gems like “PODIUM” and “Crush On You” (lyrics by Haewon and Lily) show off the group’s growing creative chops.
- O.O Part 1 (Baila) and Part 2 (Superhero) – unreleased fan favorites, finally making their official debut
- Other bangers: “SPINNIN’ ON IT,” “Phoenix,” “RICO,” “Game Face,” “ADORE U,” and “Shape of Love”
The album promises everything from emotional ballads to dance-floor anthems—perfect for fans still reeling from their last era.
A Power Move for the Rookie Queens
This album marks a major milestone: it’s NMIXX’s first full album since debut. And the timing? Impeccable. The group will hold their very first solo concert, NMIXX Change Up: MIXX UNIVERSITY, on November 29 and 30.
The fans (a.k.a. NSWERs) are understandably hyped. One fan tweeted, “They went from fairy tale to full femme fatale—NMIXX is THAT group now.”
Final Thoughts
With bold visuals, fan-involved songwriting, and a mysterious concept that screams ‘binge-worthy,’ NMIXX’s “Blue Valentine” already feels like a moment. Is this a heartbreak album? A transformation arc? Maybe both. Either way, one thing’s for sure: the countdown to October 13 has officially begun.
