On July 20, P1Harmony will return with their seventh mini-album SAD SONG and the title track of the same name. The EP includes six more songs - It's Alright, Last Call, Welcome to, All You, WASP, and the English version of Sad Song. In particular, the title track received a lot of praise from fans for its emotional depth.
Formed by FNC Entertainment, P1Harmony is a very talented boy group consisting of six members - Kiho, Theo, Jiyoung, Intak, Sol, and Jongseob. With their highly successful single SIREN, the group made their official debut on October 28, 2020. Some of the hit songs include Do It Like This, Jump, Killin' It, Doom Doom Doom, Back Down, and Fall in Love Again.
This Latin inspired track is completely fresh and new and is a perfect addition to their impressive discography. The English version ends the EP on a warm and fun note, while the dynamic music video includes plenty of references to past releases. With seven tracks spanning different musical styles and genres, SAD SONG is P1Harmony's most versatile comeback to date.A1 Digital India News: Just six weeks before Election Day, politics has taken over America. Through a thriving niche on the edge of Hollywood. Taking over the box office: conservative films.
While right-wing figures have long complained about the film establishment's supposed liberal values, conservative and faith-based films have traditionally fared poorly.
Daniel Loria, editorial director of industry magazine BoxOffice Pro, cited the election as a reason for the film's poor chart performance, saying, "Some box office audiences in the U.S. may respond ideologically to right-wing issues."
But the growing commercial success of conservative films has been ignored or criticized by mainstream critics - the latest mockumentary Am I Racist? suggests an evolving cinematic landscape is creating a new rhythm.
