    Released: March 2, 2024

Daytour is the first single album by South Korea-based Filipino boy band Hori7on. The album was released on March 2, 2024, through MLD Entertainment, eight months following the group's debut album Friend-Ship (2023). Daytour is led by the upbeat pop-punk single "Lucky", which was described as a "vocal and dance extravaganza" that expresses the members' love for the people close to them.

Background

[edit]

Hori7on debuted on July 24, 2023, with the 21-track studio album Friend-Ship.[1][2] In an interview with the Korea JoongAng Daily on December 29, 2023, leader Vinci Malizon indicated that the group aims to develop a trademark "youthful and bright sound" with their future releases.[3] On November 22, MLD Entertainment set the schedule for the group's next release in January 2024, hinting at a single that celebrates "the New Year and wishes luck in 2024".[4]

On February 14, 2024, MLD formally announced the group's sophomore release Daytour, the group's first single album.[5][6]

Composition and reception

[edit]

Daytour has a runtime of six minutes and two seconds and contains two tracks. The album is led by the single "Lucky", which was touted as a pop-punk, "hi-teen confession song".[5][7] Malizon described the track as having a "upbeat, youthful, fresh 'high teen' vibe" associated with their debut album Friend-Ship.[8] Hannah Mallorca of the Philippine Daily Inquirer noted the song as a "vocal and dance extravaganza" while recognizing the track as a "display of love for people who matter to them, including their families and dedicated fans or Anchors".[9] "Lucky" is accompanied by an instrumental version in the single album release.[8]

Release and promotion

[edit]

Daytour was released on March 2, 2024, as the group's first single album and their first release in over eight months.[10] The album's release was accompanied with a showcase held at the Samsung Hall at the SM Aura in Taguig on the night of the album's release.[8] To promote the album, Hori7on collaborated with SM Supermalls for a mall tour across the Philippines.[11][12] The tour began on March 15, at SM Lanang in Davao City and concluded on April 13, at SM City Cebu.[13] Amid promotions for the album, member Winston Pineda briefly took a hiatus for the funeral of his brother.[14]

Malizon participated in the creation of the digital cover for the single.[15] Concept photos were released in the run-up to the album's release.[16]
