Produced by ballad singer Rich, R&B idol group A-ble will debut in Japan next January after they've recently received a $300,000USD contract from a Japanese agency. Regarding their group's concept, the members revealed, "We want to get rid of the discrimination against idols that perform R&B. Each of us have different music styles so it was actually very difficult to come together." Member Juho enjoys listening to soul, while Chul Woong enjoys pop; Hyochan, meanwhile, is a fan of Jason Mraz. Despite their differences, the group managed to merge their talents and form their own unique style. "We'd like to become like our 4men seniors." The trio dreams of being labelled as 'musicians' and are consistently studying music. "This album, 'Dead Love', was produced by Rich-hyung, but we are planning to include our own self-composed tracks for the next official album." Regarding their upcoming official debut, the group stated, "It's hard to believe right now. We're just enjoying the moment. Genres like R&B and soul aren't as popular in Korea as everyone believes. We hope that A-ble will make the R&B genre more accessible to others." A-ble revealed the jacket pictures for their first single today, and revealed that they will be kicking off their official activities through a showcase on November 2nd at Hongdae's V-Hall. The music video for "Dead Love" features "Pasta" actor Hyun Woo and will be broadcasted next month. Source + Photos: TV Daily, BNT News
