A Historic Performance at BST Hyde Park
Performing with a live band for the first time, the South Korean girl group NMIXX brought a unique twist to their signature “mix pop” sound at the prestigious British Summer Time (BST) Hyde Park Festival in London. This marked a significant milestone for the six-member group, consisting of Haewon, Lily, Sullyoon, BAE, Jiwoo, and Kyujin, as they captivated the audience with an unforgettable live performance.
The Experience of Performing with a Live Band
NMIXX’s transition from backtracks to live band accompaniment allowed the group to explore new dynamics in their music. In a post-show backstage interview, Australia-born vocalist Lily expressed her excitement about performing in such a historic venue and the unique experience of working with a live band. “When I heard that we were performing in this historical park, like, even just visiting here would have been fun but performing here is so crazy,” she said.
Lily highlighted the interactive nature of performing with live musicians, emphasizing the flexibility it offers. “When you’re doing it with a backtrack, you can’t manipulate it as you go. But with a band you can work together and have good synergy and you can kind of slow it down if you want to or make it faster. I think that was an interesting thing that we were kind of all getting used to while preparing for the festival.”
Achievements and Milestones
Since their debut in early 2022, NMIXX has made significant strides in the music industry. They have released two extended play records and three single albums, and have toured extensively across Asia and the United States. Their track “Love Me Like This” recently surpassed 100 million streams on Spotify, with other popular songs “O.O” and “DASH” nearing 200 million streams each.
In addition to their musical accomplishments, NMIXX has also made a mark in the fashion industry. The group has attended prominent European fashion shows, representing a Spanish luxury brand, showcasing the increasing demand for Asian stars in global promotional campaigns.
A Glimpse of New Music
Fans of NMIXX will be thrilled to know that new music is on the horizon. The group teased their upcoming song “Moving On” at the BST Hyde Park Festival, giving audiences a preview of their evolving sound. Kyujin assured fans that they are working hard to deliver fresh and innovative music. “We’re working hard to bring out music that’s new and different,” she said. Sullyoon added, “I think you’re going to get a hip mix that we haven’t shown you yet. It’s a little bit more free.”
Conclusion
NMIXX’s groundbreaking performance at the BST Hyde Park Festival is a testament to their growth and versatility as artists. By incorporating live band elements into their performances, they have opened up new avenues for musical expression and audience engagement. As they continue to push boundaries and explore new creative territories, fans can look forward to more exciting developments from this talented group.
