MONSTA X’s THE X is ‘N the Front’ of Our Playlists

This is not a drill! MONSTA X are here in full, and they have new music for us! They are back and proving they don’t know the meaning of the word “limit,” as they are always ready to exceed themselves. And we think you’ll agree with us when we say their album, THE X, is a great example, especially since it’s been a while since we got a 6-member comeback. There’s just so much to celebrate, and we’re here for it all!

Listen to MONSTA X’s THE X here.

MONSTA X just knows how to get our attention with their music. Be it with title tracks or B-sides, they tend to offer us a range of styles yet manage to always incorporate the essence of the group. This time, they come for us with a powerful main song that showcases much-deserved confidence, which we will gladly take in as a confidence booster for ourselves. After all, we’re proud to be Monbebe, so it’s only natural to get positive energy from our favorite group.

“Wanna see you in the front”

MONSTA X did it again! They ate with ‘N the Front,’ and we can only stare in awe. While the song already slaps on its own, the music video definitely ended us! We hope you are ready because it’s a definite no-miss, must-see release. The MONSTAs always go hard, but it feels like they went even harder this time.

‘N the Front’ feels like a statement, announcing to the world that MONSTA X is back and they’re taking the front position. They fittingly use a variety of scenes to visually amplify that statement in their music video. But visuals aren’t the only strong instrument they have at their disposal. One of the more powerful moments created by the lyrics has to be “Hands up! Say my name, hey,” and here’s why! While that line is repeated multiple times during ‘N the Front,’ we don’t hear them mention their group name at all, not even once. MONSTA X are simply a force that is recognized.

There is one more thing that we take from this focus track, and that is the freedom it brings. The music video begins with the words: “We all act normal/pretend to be normal/but we know/we all have a ‘MONSTA’ inside.” Then add the message that feels like a call to action and is seen throughout the clip: “Be real you, let the ground shake.” No one but us can set our own limits, and MONSTA X‘s ‘N the Front’ is an inspirational anthem to help release our true potential and take the front of our own lives.

We can already tell what a powerful vibe this track will create during live stages, especially at concerts. It’s the perfect way to hype up your whole audience and yourself as an artist. And if we had to pick, we think the chanting near the end, combined with those perfectly included ad-libs, is the highlight that will get you fully losing yourself to the song.

“Make the ground shake, bring the earthquake
Feel the floor crack, we are not fake
Make the ground shake, bring the earthquake
Make the ground shake, bring the earthquake
Feel the floor crack, we are not fake”

An Album Of Milestones And Beginnings

MONSTA X’s THE X celebrates a milestone of 10 years as a group and also sets the stage for a new start. So, what kind of album were we to expect? Something unexpected! From the impactful and somewhat mysterious teasers, we could already tell this was going to be big and new. After we heard the pre-release track, ‘Do What I Want,’ we were mind-blown. It was our first taste of THE X, and it felt so different from what we are used to, but at the same time, it is very much them (especially with that wild video 👀).

THE X does not miss highlighting some of the members’ production and writing skills as well. Joohoney, I.M., and Hyungwon once again bring their exquisite talent to create high-quality playlist additions for us. Once again, bring their exquisite talent to create high-quality playlist additions for us. We’re beyond words, and the fact that we’re having trouble picking a favorite speaks for itself. But that’s more than okay; we will simply be vibing and loving on the whole album equally.

MONSTA X’s THE X is and will stay a memorable release for so many reasons. It stands out as a comeback that showcases the reunion of the members after most of them completed their military service. The name of the album also celebrates the group’s 10 years through the usage of the Roman numeral “X.” And (yes, we’re not done) it bears the meaning of something unexpected, unpredictable: just how we can’t tell how MONSTA X will surprise us next. We just know it will be a great experience.
