I've actually known about AleXa before she debuted, if I remember correctly she was preparing for her debut when she appeared on a programme in the UK called K-pop Idols: Inside the Hit Factory.
This is actually my first physical copy of one of her releases, but I do listen to her music.
The layout for the album is pretty normal, but the photobook is stunning, I love the character versions of AleXa, as well as the styling. Each outfit is stunning and really showcases both her style and vibe. They're also outfits that fans can easily replicate if they wished to.
Sadly the album itself only has 2 tracks which is the title track and the instrumental.

I really love the melody for Tattoo. AleXa's vocal tones fit perfectly with the melody and it really allows her voice and vocals to shine.
I love how she sings along with the melody, which to me heightens the track even more.

I don't normally talk about the instrumentals of a track but I feel like I need to talk about Tattoo (Inst.), because with the instrumental you can really hear what her singing adds to the track. She really makes a basic sounding melody sound so much better.

AleXa is now going by the name Kim Seri which I'm guessing is her Korean name, as well as Seriinade, which is the name used for her social media. When I look back at her releases with ZB, I don't think she had a consistent flow of releases and it seems most of the time it seemed to be a one off song release. Her talents were definitely wasted at ZB. For me she's like Eric Nam in that she's really underrated in Korea, she has a unique and stunning voice that was never allowed to reach it's full potential.
Because I was unaware of all this happening, I wasn't even aware of her new album being released, because I didn't see any promotions for it, but I definitely recommend checking it out.
I look forward to what she brings us next.

Do you have a physical copy?
