What Monsta X have to say about their music
In addition to releasing a new EP, the members of Monsta X are expected to kick off the No Limit US Tour in May. Earlier in the year, Showbiz Cheat Sheet interviewed Monsta X about their music and touring plans.
“I think we don’t play safe and rather try to get adventurous when it comes to our music. Especially now that some of us are making our songs, we can definitely make songs that better suit our style or songs of a genre that we wanted to try out,” Hyungwon said of the band’s music.
Kihyun shared, “Well, there’s nothing much that I can say at the moment, but all I can say is that we all want to experiment with various sounds as much as possible. We set the signature ‘Monsta X power’ style throughout the first few years of our debut but we also proved that we could pull off the fatal sexy concept through our recent album releases.”
He continued, “So who knows? Maybe you could see Monsta X in a refreshing and cool concept! (Just joking but you get my point).”
