“ALL ABOUT LUV” is a Big Hit
Once again making history, ALL ABOUT LUV marks the first all English-language album released by a K-pop group ever. This highly anticipated release has garnered a sky-rocketing trajectory of success with mentions from NPR, ET, Access, AP, Forbes, Consequence Of Sound, Billboard, and TIME who stated.
TIME stated, “You Can’t Hold My Heart” is a change of pace: en emo pop-rock track with guitar backing. It’s sweet but salty and tightly executed with its nods to rock. And it’s a sign of dissolving borders — across language, across genre, across culture.”
In order to celebrate the record’s arrival, the group launched a series of sold-out events, immersive activations, and television appearances on Nickelodeon’s All That, The Kelly Clarkson Show, and Today Show. The Monsta X U.S. takeover started in LA, from shutting down the Sunset Strip with police escorts riding in Jaguars, to hosting an All About Luv pop-up at the iconic Tower Records, and a fan event at the world-famous Roxy.
Rolling Stone got a glimpse of the pandemonium stating; “you heard it in the screams of hundreds of sleep-deprived fans who packed the legendary Roxy Nightclub in Hollywood for a private Monsta X performance, and then snaked a line down four blocks of Sunset Boulevard.” The band wrapped up their 2-week promotion on the East Coast, with more fan meetings, performances, live Q&A’s, and sold-out events at Chelsea Music Hall, The Paramount, and YouTube Space NYC.
