Lucy, the K-pop rock band that made its debut in 2019, has returned with a new single album titled "Boogie Man." The album, released on Tuesday evening, showcases the band's musical evolution, deviating from their known energetic style.

The titular track, "Boogie Man," is characterized as an emo pop song with a mysterious atmosphere. Departing from their refreshing energy, Lucy incorporates funky yet intense rock sounds, highlighted by Shin Ye-chan's violin, adding a unique quality to the composition.

The music video trailer teases a mysterious and terrifying atmosphere, featuring a literal boogie man emerging from closets and under beds, approaching the bandmates one by one.

In a notable departure, the single album includes Lucy's first carol, "Over the Christmas," featuring sounds evoking imagery of a parade.

Bassist Cho Won-sang, responsible for producing all Lucy's albums, takes on composing and writing the lyrics for every track on the new single album.

To mark the release, Lucy has scheduled a listening session at 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday at Hyundai Card Zone's Understage building in Seoul. The session will be broadcast live via the band's official YouTube channel, allowing fans to engage with the latest musical endeavor.
