Noah (Knoah), a singer and producer, announced the debut of Hat:q (Hat:q), Rayback's first vocal group, with the release of their debut single 'Daily Life' at noon on the 30th, signaling the arrival of an 'R&B trio.'

◆ Rayback's first vocal group created by singer Noah

Hat:q is a portmanteau of 'Heart' and 'Unique,' embodying the meaning of capturing the public's heart with original individuality. The three-member female vocal group consists of Gayeon, Chaei, and Kisa, all graduates of practical music. They highlight emotional vocals and solid harmony as their strengths.

Noah, who participated in all aspects of production, explained the planning background, stating, "I thought it was a blue ocean where one could survive uniquely amidst a flood of idols," and added, "I wanted to create Korea's Destiny's Child." With Gayeon possessing a deep understanding of R&B and solid fundamentals, Chaei expanding the team's spectrum with a voice optimized for pop and leadership, and Kisa completing the group's color with a unique tone and perseverance reminiscent of Alicia Keys, the three members, each with distinct charms, come together to create a single harmony.

◆ The lineage of harmony that Hat:q will continue

In the early 2000s, female vocal groups such as SeeYa, Gavy NJ, and Big Mama received great love in the Korean music industry. Known for their solid singing abilities and harmony, they are still cited today as representative vocal groups. However, activities by female vocal groups have become harder to find as easily as in the past.

Among them, Hat:q is determined to showcase their own competitiveness with music centered on vocals. Based on the synergy created by the three members, each with different tones and individuality, they plan to expand their activity scope by covering various genres including R&B and pop. Even in their debut single 'Daily Life,' the members directly participated in backing vocals and ad-lib work, further deepening the unique color of a vocal group.

◆ Aiming for the U.S. market beyond domestic borders

Hat:q is also accelerating its entry into the global market. Rayback planned the team with the possibility of overseas activities in mind, based on its network with American artists and producers. Especially in the trend where the K-pop market is expanding beyond idol-centricity to various genres, Hat:q aims to grow into a team with global competitiveness by highlighting its R&B-based musicality and vocal abilities. The blueprint for Hat:q is to present their own music on overseas stages, including the U.S., and establish themselves as artists who will be loved for a long time.
