Boy group MAZZEL will release their second single on October 18th.
The title track Carnival is said to be written around the theme “Welcome to the carnival”, with a sound that encourages listeners to get heated up like they’re at a festival. The coupling track
LIGHTNING is described as a summery Latin-inspired hip-hop song.
LIGHTNING was released as a preceding digital single on August 14th, and it is available for download and streaming on various platforms here.
The single will be available in six editions: limited, Deluxe A, Deluxe B, regular, and versions exclusive to the UNIVERSAL MUSIC STORE and MAZZEL's fan club MUZEUM. The limited edition will add a photobook. The Deluxe A and B editions will each
feature an exclusive third track and a bonus DVD with the music video and behind the scenes footage for either Carnival or LIGHTNING. The UNIVERSAL MUSIC STORE edition and fan club edition will both contain the two extra songs from the Deluxe
A and B versions, but the UNIVERSAL MUSIC STORE edition’s bonus DVD will contain footage from MAZZEL’s debut showcase held at LINE CUBE SHIBUYA this June and making-of footage from a photo shoot instead of music videos.
The fan club edition will add a bonus DVD with currently unspecified contents instead, as well as a CD with a recorded version of Get Down, a song that contestants performed during the audition process for MAZZEL, which was documented
in the YouTube video series “MISSIONx2”.
A dance performance video for LIGHTNING can be viewed below, followed by videos of the current members of MAZZEL and some contestants who did not make the final group performing Get Down in two competing teams from “MISSIONx2”.
The full “MISSIONx2” series is available to watch on YouTube with English subtitles here.
