About Album
Love X Stereo’s first full-length album [37A]
The long-awaited first full-length album of Love X Stereo has finally released. Bryan Hood, reporter for the New York Post (Page Six), who saw their performance at the world-renowned music festival South by Southwest in Austin, Texas, in March 2016, commented on the following day’s article as: “Love X Stereo is the band K-Pop Night Out was made for, an act that international listeners would be open to if they knew it existed.” The band has been recognized for its ability at leading festivals around the world, including North America and Asia, as well as being nominated for the 2017 Korean Music Award.
Starting with the synth-pop song “Maybe I,” the R&B title song “Dark and Light,” the drum-and-base style “Battle Wings,” and the alternative number “Parallel Universe” featuring saxophone performances by American musician DISQO VOLANTE, [37A] has a strong full-length album or playlist. This is because the album is part of their vast project [37], which began in January 2017. The project [37], which refuses to release a full-length album in the traditional way and releases 37 songs and music videos nonstop for fans for a year, is still underway.

Maybe I
Maybe I just want to say that I'm sorry
Maybe I just want to say that I worry
Maybe I just want to say that I ruined it
You said you'll be long gone
We can't live forever
You said you'll be long gone
We can't live forever
Maybe I was supposed to say that I'm sorry
Maybe I was supposed to say that I'm sorry
Maybe I was supposed to say that I worry
Maybe I was supposed to say that I ruined it
You said you'll be long gone
We can't live forever
You said you'll be long gone
We can't live forever
Dark and Light
You gotta rethink about what is true love after all
What they say, what they say, what they say doesn't mean a thing at all
Only thing that matters is what we think of each other cause,
Everyday I
And everyday we
We stay in the dark together, in the dark together
Everyday I
And everyday we
We stay in the light together, in the light together
Have you been in love, been in love, been in love? There must be more
What you gotta understand is that love ain't about less or more
What they say, what they say, what they say doesn't mean a thing at all
Only thing that matters is how we feel for each other cause,
Everyday I
And everyday we
We stay in the dark together, in the dark together
Everyday I
And everyday we
We stay in the light together, in the light together
Lemon Spark
I'm drinking way too much lemon soda
Spinning around
Can't think of a way to get out of this sofa
You got me spinning around
Come shake me up, I'm paralyzed
You got me spinning around
Go set me free or we stay all night
Lemon spark
Spinning into the dark
Lemon spark for you and me
Won't stop until it's over, over
Lemon spark for you and me
Won't stop until it's over, over
Spinning around
Please help me before I hit my head on the ground
Bring Me Back to You
Crashing waves and never-ending shores
I just want to let you know
You're in my heart, I'll never let you go
Chin up, stand up, you got the cools to make up
Keep your head up, I'll come running back to you
Bring me back to you
Cause it feels more natural
Cause it feels more natural
Will you bring me back to you?
Cause it feels more natural
Cause it feels more natural
Don't let go
I'm gonna miss you after all
Pink blue skies and city streets of gold
I just want to let you know
You're in my soul, I'll never let you go
I started dipping my face into the sun
I must be dreaming, I'm not the only one
Battle Wings
underneath your skin
You and I both took bullets
in our hearts deep within
Time goes by fast
Quicker than you dare imagine
I know you'll find the path
We're escaping from this world we live in
Diamonds, clubs, hearts, spades
Tanks, planes, bullets, blades
Here, there, heaven or hell
You there? You there? I wish you well
Battle wings
Fly me home tonight
Battle wings
Fly me home tonight
I wanna go home tonight
백색소음 White Noise
Listen 내 숨결을
거짓된 진실을 말하고
잊혀진 미래를 꿈꾸는
Still I fall for you
나는 바람처럼 스쳐도
너는 나를 붙들었고
나는 노래처럼 흘러도
너는 나를 믿었었어
서로 다른 시공간에서
우린 밀고 당기며
깊은 밤이 다 지새도록
We realize
Listen 내 기억을
Listen 내 비밀을
버려진 마음을 채우고
꺼지는 불빛을 지키는
Still I fall for you
Paradise Lost
나를 숨겨줘 제발
Take my hand, never let go
나를 어디든 데려가
아무도 널 보지 않아
아무도 널 듣지 않아
Save my sorrow
Do you need a reason?
Hide me under the moonlight
나를 가려줘 제발
Take my hand, don't you let go
나는 어디든 따라가
나를 숨겨줘
나를 가려줘
나를 안아줘 제발
Parallel Universe
What world is that you're looking for?
Beautiful
My world does not exist anymore
Beautiful
How'd you run away so far?
Beautiful
Time and space became unnatural
Did I let you down?
Well, I'm not a saviour
What makes you think that we live in parallel?
You and I
We're full of possiblities
You and I
We're full of broken memories
Did I let you down?
Well, I'm not a saviour
What makes you think that we live in parallel?
Did I lift you up?
Cause I don't remember
What makes you think that I am your other half?
Like a Waterfall in the Sky
Time to close your eyes
Lose your focus
As you fall asleep tonight
저 하늘에 떨어지는 폭포처럼
저 하늘에 불타는 구름처럼
Sleepless ocean
Waving through your eyes
Splash down your senses
Like a waterfall in the sky
Good bye
Good night
Rage Is Not Enough (Danja Mix)
It's time to freshen up your makeup
Their money really doesn't add up
It's like a never ending game to you
Warm kiss
You start a war against the nervous
You deal your fears but don't forget this
No matter what they tell you
They'll soon forget about you
Unless you do something cause
Rage is not enough
Rage is not enough
Enslavement
You're way too young to hit the pavement
You thought that this was your moment
That moment when you start to fly away
Make it
I got your back cause you deserve it
Let's bring the devil down to break it
No matter what you've been through
I'm here to stand beside you
We're gonna break some rules cause
Rage is not enough
Rage is not enough
Album Reviews
37A isn’t a customary album in Love X Stereo’s discography. It’s a timeline marker. 37A in album form doesn’t have a tightly cohesive sound, but that’s what I enjoy about it the most. It’s a set of experimentation, exploration, and a journey as musicians.
It's neat. If you listen closely, you can feel the colors of various genres such as early house music, R&B, Postrock, and Synthpop, but it's not too much, so it's light overall. The color of the vocal, which fills the sound with synthesizers, electric guitars, drums, and saxophone to keep the texture of the song rich and sticks to it like a magnet, is perfect for representing the color of the group. They tied up the music they had been doing well.
Bring Me Back To You is our favorite track on 37A. The song itself builds off of the style forged initially by 1990s J-pop performers, all while having an EDM style that pushes the heavenly vocals that much further. Imagine a refreshed version of performers like Tiffany and Debbie Reynolds, and you’ll have a hint of what Love X Stereo is attempting to do here. The rapid tempo of the percussion here firmly grounds this single into the current EDM and house styles, making there something for everyone to appreciate.
Love X Stereo sound like: The kaleidoscopic prom band in an alternate-universe High School Musical. What’s so great about them? Love X Stereo are quite frankly and criminally underrated considering the quality of music that they make.
