After a series of intriguing teasers released throughout spring, SPIRE Entertainment has debuted one of the most exciting and highly-anticipated boy groups of 2021. The 11 member boy group, OMEGA X consists of popular past survival show contestants and members of disbanded groups. OMEGA X, who starred in their own pre-debut reality show Loading One More Chan X, consists of Hangyeom of Seven O’clock; Sebin from SNUPER; 1THE9’s Yechan, Kevin, and Hyuk; Junghoon from ENOi; Taedong from pre-debut group GIDONGDAE; Jaehan, a former member of SPECTRUM and OneVoices; Xen and Jehyun of 1TEAM; and last but not the least Hwichan of LIMITLESS. 

The 11 boys are making a second impression with their debut mini-album VAMOS, supported by the title track by the same name. The Spanish infused track, “Vamos” is an explosion of energy with dynamic beats, and is a celebration of life. The song showcases the members' powerful rap skills and vocal abilities that match the track’s powerful production, making it an instant earworm. The song sees a key change towards the end, which makes the outro even more impactful. The music video for the track is equally as powerful, featuring the boys performing an impressive choreography in different outfits and sets. With a gold and red color palette, the music video flows like a fiesta filled with glitter, joy, and positive energy.

The album features three B-side tracks starting with the hip-hop track “ICETAG,” featuring groovy Middle Eastern beats. OMEGA X boast about themselves on the next track, appropriately titled after the group’s name, delivering intense rap verses that are performed over a powerful EDM production with a head-banging beat drop. The album closes with the beautiful Latin-infused pop song “YOUNGER,” co-written by members Jaehan, Hangyeom, Jehyun, Hwichan, Hyuk, Sebin, and Junghoon. Opening with a child’s laugh, the song contains a nostalgic message about how our dreams have no boundaries when we are young and how we should take steps to fulfill our dreams.

The experience and maturity of the members of OMEGA X is undeniable and easily reflected throughout their mini-album. From their confident delivery, to their lyrics, to their stage presence seen in the music video, OMEGA X stands out among their peers. As an album, VAMOS packs a punch, making their debut extremely memorable and reminiscent of debuts like that of MONSTA X and VICTON. With this second chance, OMEGA X hopes to gain renewed interest from fans, and it will be exciting to see what they have to offer their listeners. Watch the exciting music video for “VAMOS” below!
