K-Pop Blog > News> iKON
iKON asks us in their latest song "Tantara" to scream to the sky and raise our hands above our heads. That's not hard for us to do, because there's a reason to celebrate: on May 4, the third studio album Take Off will finally be released! Tantara is a pre-release single from Take Off and already gives us a taste of the new album. Including Tantara, the CD will contain 10 brand new songs. The title track is called "U".
The pre-release single and the tracklist are not the only sneak peek iKON has released in the last few days. On Twitter you can also find several concept photosin which the guys show themselves casually in shirts, sweaters and jeans. Next, we can look forward to a concept movie uploaded on April 30, followed by the MV teaser on May 1!
Also, iKON has finally revealed the details of the physical album, which you can pre-order starting today:
IKON - TAKE OFF (3RD FULL ALBUM)
You have the choice between the green U version and the blue Tantara (딴따라) version. It's also worth buying both versions as a set, because most of the content differs depending on the version. You can find out exactly what to expect here:
Both versions include a 100-page photo book and, of course, a CD. In addition, each buyer gets many colorful extras. The first three are all about traveling, in keeping with the title "Take Off": one of six possible passport photos, one of six passport books and one of six luggage tags. The passport photo is a sheet with no less than eight identical photos. So you'll always have some left over, even if you decide to use a few.
Plus one of two possible decorative stickers, one of seven folding posters, and three of 30 photo cards. Everything together is neatly tucked away in a box.
If you pre-order the album, you'll also have a chance to win a rare photo card and a signed Polaroid. Note: Both extras are extremely limited and only randomly included in a few albums. There are only 100 photo cards and 60 signed Polaroids in total. Good luck!
As I said before, almost all the contents are designed differently depending on the version. Only the passport books, luggage tags and stickers you can get are the same. But the photo book, the box, the CD, the posters and the photo cards are different. So you're guaranteed not to get a photo card twice when you buy the set!
Have you decided what you're going to get yet?
Take Off is the boy group's first album under 143 Entertainment.
That's because at the end of 2022, iKON left YG Entertainment, the label they debuted with in 2015 and have released 10 albums with. Most recently, the Japanese album Flashback (+ I Decide) was released in July 2022. We're keeping our fingers crossed that iKON's new start will be a success!
If you haven't seen the performance video for Tantara yet, it's about time:

In addition, a concert in Paris (France) is scheduled for July. Have you already secured a ticket? You still have the chance, so don't wait too long if you want to be there!
