TWS are entering a new phase of life with their third EP ‘Try With Us’

“I don’t think starting your twenties is always filled with just beautiful and happy emotions; there’s also despair and failure. But I believe that all of that is what makes youth meaningful.” Aptly worded by Jihoon, it’s a refreshingly nuanced takeaway for the six members of TWS, namely Youngjae, Jihoon, Dohoon, Kyungmin, Hanjin, and Shinyu, who are all on the brink of their twenties, currently toeing the line between boyhood and adulthood.

Since their debut early last year with EP Sparkling Blue—and viral lead title ‘plot twist’—the rookie group have been steadfast in staking their claim to the ‘boyhood pop’ sound that embodies the spirit of youth, sharing songs and stories of their school and adolescent years.

All capturing the unbridled mood of teens with the fighting spirit to take on the days ahead of them—no holds barred on how they see the future. And in the later months of the year? Their whirlwind school series was brought to a nostalgic close, with the charming tune ‘Last Festival’. Like the cherry blossoms that have begun to bloom on the streets of Seoul, these six boys are moving into a new chapter of their lives—and their music.

Enter TWS’s third mini album, Try With Us, and led by title track ‘Countdown!’. Just like the album’s namesake, the music encapsulates a period of their lives that they acknowledge will be trying and riddled with its own complexities, but the most important thing would just be to face it with ardour. So as for what this chapter brings for TWS? Here’s to finding out.

Amid the release of Try With Us, the group shares with Vogue Singapore about what their new music brings, their favourite B-side tracks and what they hope to achieve next. The post TWS are entering a new phase of life with their third EP ‘Try With Us’ appeared first on Vogue Singapore..
