“In the midst of destruction, natural disasters, corruption, and a collapsing economy, AZIATIX reminds us that there is always hope and light even in the darkest of days.”

“While we were touring to promote our Nocturnal album, we met people affected by the struggle and hardships,” the group explains. “From natural disasters to the global economic crisis, we were moved to go back into the studio and reflect and convey what we witnessed and experienced. Ultimately the album ended up being an album about hope.”
Their fan base spans the globe, and AZIATIX have heard so many stories from them, where a sense of confidence and well-being is vital. The trio hopes their music will inspire fans and comfort them, knowing that things will get better.

“Every record on the album is about the struggles and challenges we face in life and what we can do to overcome them. While some songs are still pop, it’s not really about partying in the club, love, or loss in a typical sense. It’s much deeper,” they explain. Sonically, the group is tinkering with faster bpms, challenging themselves with their sound and instrumentation, moving through multiple genres seamlessly.

SHINee and Sandara were selected to become the cosmetics brand’s endorsement models for 2012, and they’ve planned a special campaign to kick off their promotions.

On February 20th, SHINee and Sandara revealed that their campaign was called ‘Kiss Note‘, which plays off the popular story, ‘Death Note‘. ‘Death Note’ is a popular Japanese comic series revolving around a supernatural book that grants its owner the ability to kill anyone by jotting their name on a page. Etude’s ‘Kiss Note’ campaign utilizes that same concept, but with a romantic twist.

When the interviewer asked the boys if there was a kiss scene, they replied that you’d just have to watch the CF when it gets released on March 1st to find out.
