Stray Kids于6月2日发行全新正规专辑《★★★★★(5-STAR)》及主打曲《S-Class》。

Stray Kids于2022年3月和10月分别发行迷你专辑《ODDINARY》和《MAXIDENT》，连续两次在美国公告牌主排行榜"Billboard 200"上占据首位。以Circle排行榜为基准，《MAXIDENT》仅发行一个月累计销量就突破了300万张，成为"JYP娱乐公司首张达成三百万销量"的专辑，主打曲《CASE 143》MV今年3月在YouTube上点击率破亿，享受着长久的人气。

最近，在全世界18个地区共举办了42场的大规模第二次世界巡演"MANIAC"圆满结束。从去年4月首尔为起点，近一年的巡演征途中从首尔KSPO DOME到日本大阪京瓷巨蛋，最终成为K-POP男子组合史上第二个成功在北美体育场表演的团体，演唱会门票全部售罄，取得了意义深远的成果，同时再次证明了组合强大的全球人气和影响力。在全球音乐市场上展现闪耀存在感的同时，在其自身成长史上也留下了颇具意义的足迹，占据"K-POP大势组合"稳固地位的Stray Kids，在今夏带着所有人都期待已久的正规专辑回归。

从专辑名开始就像盖上了"Stray Kids"的印章一样，充满独特魅力的新专辑《★★★★★(5-STAR)》是继2021年8月正规2辑《NOEASY》之后时隔2年推出的正规专辑。5颗星星直观地展现出了属于Stray Kids的特别之处,主打曲《S-Class》中"特别的孩子中最特别的、特别的孩子中最闪耀的Stray Kids"也将这次的主题独特又愉快地表现出来，吸引着大家的视线。

除了意为"特级"、"最高等级"的"5-STAR"专辑名外，从track list中也可以看出属于他们的自信感。此次正规3辑以主打歌《S-Class》为首，共收录了包含《Hall of Fame》、《ITEM》、《Super Bowl》、《TOPLINE(Feat. Tiger JK)》、《DLC》、《GET LIT》、《FNF》、《Youtiful》、《THE SOUND(Korean Ver.)》、《Mixtape : Time Out》在内的12首歌曲。

此次专辑一如既往由队内制作小分队3RACHA方灿、彰彬、HAN亲自参与主打曲及其余新歌的全部制作，展现了组合的音乐性。而因在"2022 MAMA AWARDS"中与3RACHA合作表演而结缘的HipHop传奇人物Tiger JK也助阵了专辑内第五首歌曲《TOPLINE(Feat. Tiger JK)》的作词和演唱，增加了整张专辑的质感。通过亲自制作的音乐两次登上"Billboard 200"顶峰的他们，将再一次通过Self&Wellmade的正规专辑给粉丝们带来"S-Class"的快乐。

主打歌《S-Class》是一首能够充分体现Stray Kids特别之处的充满新鲜感和挑战性的歌曲。穿梭于多种Sound source和音乐风格之间，仿佛是将多首歌曲融为一体的歌曲编排激发着大家的好奇心，独特又上瘾的hook刺激着反复播放的欲望。"特别的人之中最特别的 That's me","闪光之中的人,那就是我们的介绍词 We're special yeah"等充分展现自身魅力的韵味歌词，给歌曲增添了更加闪耀的魅力，激发听者的兴趣。

之前4月28日0点公开的回归日程，新专预告片中充满氛围感的拍摄表现、8名成员帅气的外貌和组合独有的特点，在国内外网络上引起热烈反响。 以小时候和朋友们围坐在一起享受的游戏《I AM GROUND》为灵感，8人8色有趣的自我介绍引发了人们对新专辑风格的好奇。在各种解释纷至沓来的情况下，以当天下午为基准，该视频登上了YouTube MV世界潮流趋势第一，阿根廷、墨西哥等海外8个地区YouTube人气急速上升视频一位。

懂得真正"味道"和"帅气"的美食家们寻找的独创性音乐，不仅拥有优越的表现能力，而且一直保持着新鲜感，给K-POP粉丝们带来最高满意度的Stray Kids，通过他们最擅长的音乐领域所创造的2023年首部回归作《★★★★★(5-STAR)》及主打歌《S-Class》，进一步巩固了"五星"米其林音乐美食店的名声。

整顿K-POP纪律，比任何时候都更加特别、闪耀的Stray Kids终于来了！！

如歌名"Super Bowl"一样，感受像美式足球冠军争夺战《超级碗》一样巨大规模的自信感。辛辣的歌词中隐藏了很多像调料般丰富多彩的表达方式，如同听ASMR吃播一样的低语，会让大家的耳朵“大饱口福”。再加上各种强烈的乐器音，是一首充满痛快感的"美味"歌曲。

11. THE SOUND (Korean Ver.)
[Stray Kids' Comment]
作为第一张正规日专的主打曲，表现出了专属Stray Kids的音乐特点。用只属于我们的独特歌词，在旋律上特有的连珠炮说唱、充满力量的舞蹈来抓住大家眼睛和耳朵的《THE SOUND》，这次能够以韩语版本亮相我们也感到非常开心。符合"彷徨的孩子们"的组合名，包含"与全世界Stray的人们一起前进"抱负的雄壮歌词，传达了"只属于我们的声音，用我们的声音堂堂正正地前进"的内容和气势。

12. Time Out
[Stray Kids' Comment]
是回忆着成员们一起去江原道休假时的幸福时光，能够无忧无虑大笑的快乐瞬间而制作的歌曲。就像《Time Out》的歌名一样，用如盛夏大海般清爽的摇滚体裁，表达出了将"抛开苦恼和担心，随着微风一起出发"的信息。
