WHAT IT IS: After a huge, sold-out 2018 world tour, a Jingle Ball tour and many awards, the South Korean group is releasing the second part of their album, Take.1 Are You There?. This album emphasizes the theme of finding hope between loss and wandering. Lead single “Alligator” is a dance song that mixes powerful future pop with a unique hip-hop vibe, adding in the addictive hook and emotional escalation. Monsta X is one of the biggest social-media artists in the world, charting for over a year on the Billboard Social 50 and peaking at #4.
