After a Slow-Burn Rise, RESCENE Keeps PULSE Lean With 5 Tracks

RESCENE's fourth mini-album, PULSE, comes with five songs and a title track called "With," and the group posted the full tracklist on the 23rd. The album drops November 3 at 6 p.m. KST.

The rest of the lineup: "Finest Thing," "백화요란 (Inside Out)," "MEME" and "Dragon." Short and tight. No filler count to argue about, at least on paper.

The group (Wonie, Liv, Minami, Mei and Jena) put the list on its official social channels. The image carries over the guardian concept from the recent teasers, with giant wings front and center. It's a clear hint at the album's mood and world, though the label, The Muse Entertainment, hasn't spelled out the story.

What PULSE is about

The title refers to a heartbeat. The album's theme is a moment when a song given to someone returns as a voice that lifts you back up. Per the album's framing, an individual dream becomes real through meeting other people, with the time spent building it together as the point.

Concept photos and a run of teaser content have already rolled out in sequence. The tracklist is the first look at how the record is actually built, and promotions are planned to follow the release schedule.

The context

RESCENE rose through a reverse chart run about two years after debut, which is the backdrop here. PULSE is the follow-up meant to keep that momentum going. Whether five tracks is enough to do it is a question for November 3.
