‘SUN SEEKER’ means a lot to CRAVITY
This synergy of distinct personalities is evident in the songs on the album. SUN SEEKER’s tracks all resonate with the group’s charisma and vibrant energy. Describing the album’s sound, Allen labeled it as bright, pop, and upbeat. He said this sound “really suits our members’ visuals and also suits our voices and how we perform on stage.”
The songs revolve around determination and self-discovery. Lead dancer Taeyoung elaborated that SUN SEEKER is all about “finding one’s path and strength.” Echoing his sentiments, Allen said, “In this album, we’re telling our LUVITYs to follow your gravity, to seek what attracts you, what makes you want to do what you want to do.” One of the album’s standout tracks, “Vibration,” encapsulates this message perfectly. It emphasizes the happiness people feel when what they’re doing is aligned with their true calling.
Clearly, SUN SEEKER is more than a record-breaking album for CRAVITY. It reflects the group’s dreams, identity, and relationship with their fans. That’s why all nine members were beyond thrilled when they heard it broke records. Congratulations to CRAVITY! – K-Pop News Writer
