MONSTA X 'MAGIC' Recording Session: Focusing on Chorus Impact and Fine-tuning Details

MONSTA X has revealed the detailed work process to increase the perfection of their song through a video capturing the recording process of the title track 'MAGIC'. In the video, the members engaged in recording while adjusting the vocal tones, accents, and rap flows that determine the song's atmosphere.

"The chorus is the main point" Characteristics and concerns of the title track 'MAGIC'

In the video, the members shared specific opinions regarding the recording work for the title track 'MAGIC'. One member mentioned the song's title, saying, "The title of the title track is now 'MAGIC'," and expressed their concerns during the work, stating, "I think we spent a lot of time worrying about how to handle the flowing parts." In particular, they explained that this song is "actually a song where the chorus is the most important point" and because it is "a very strong and impactful song," they focused heavily on that part.

During the recording process, discussions continued to capture the details of the vocals. The video shows them adjusting the tone, with an opinion being voiced that "the voice spreads out a little bit." Additionally, to bring out the feeling of the song, they proceeded with the work of adding accents to specific lyric sections, saying, "Let's let everything go out of control, just add a few accents."

The detailed adjustment process of vocal tones and rap parts

The members increased the perfection by exchanging opinions about each other's vocal and rap parts. During the vocal recording, processes of adjusting the pitch of specific ranges or checking pronunciations were shown. In particular, the process of checking and adjusting parts where members' notes overlap was captured; in the video, they were seen identifying the overlapping part, saying, "The 'O' overlaps with Minhyuk's 'O', and that 'O' is the same as Minhyuk's 'O'," and decided to remove that part to adjust it.

The recording of the rap parts was also handled with significant weight. In the video, work continued to match the rhythm and flow of the rap parts. The members went through a process of matching the rhythm by practicing the rap parts repeatedly, and they conducted recording several times to catch the flow of the rap part that begins with "Spreading charm all over the world, I'm riding my rhythm now."

Reflections in the recording studio

After finishing the recording, the members shared their thoughts on the song. One member explained the character of the song, saying, "'MAGIC' feels like a MONSTA X song, yet also not like one." They also conveyed their feelings about preparing the song, saying, "It was really great because imagining that the moment we released it after preparing hard, people would like it, became reality."
