IU is preparing to return with a digital single that looks beyond Earth. The singer will release “From This Star” on the 10th as a pre-release track from her upcoming sixth full-length album.
According to her agency, EDAM Entertainment, the single will contain two songs: the title track “From This Star” and another title track, “Dear my crazy soulmate.” IU took part in writing the lyrics for both songs.
The release offers an early glimpse of the album, which is scheduled to come later. Expectations rose further after official social media accounts posted concept photographs at midnight.
In the images, IU wears a spacesuit inside a spacecraft and looks at Earth through a window. The space setting and the view back toward the planet hint at the mood of the new music. She also appears with a short haircut, marking a visual change from her previous long hair.
