JPop Goes Global: f5ve’s Genre-Smashing “SEQUENCE 01” Set to Shake Things Up (YouTube) |
Get ready to have your playlists flipped upside down—f5ve is officially entering the chat. The experimental JPop collective has just announced their debut album, “SEQUENCE 01,” and it’s shaping up to be a full-blown genre blender.
Think dance, rock, funk, hyperpop—stirred, not shaken. And yep, it's all been overseen by none other than BloodPop, with extra magic sprinkled in by A.G. Cook and a few other sound wizards.
The goal? Simple. Show the world how brilliant JPop can be when it breaks all the rules.
If you’ve been anywhere near TikTok lately, chances are you've already heard some of the bangers off this record.
Tracks like “Firetruck,” “Lettuce,” “Underground,” “UFO,” and “Magic Clock” have been popping up in edits, challenges, and chaotic memes all over the place—cementing f5ve’s status as the underground darlings who are now ready to go big.
But let’s talk about today’s big drop: the music video for “Sugar-Free Venom” featuring none other than Kesha herself. Yes, that Kesha—queen of chaos, glitter, and emotional catharsis.
The track is every bit as fierce and unpredictable as you'd hope, with Kesha channelling her signature wild energy into a dark, synth-heavy anthem about toxic love and inner turmoil. It's theatrical, twisted, catchy as hell—and very f5ve.
This collab isn’t just for show either. Kesha adds serious weight to the song, throwing herself into the eerie yet glitter-drenched atmosphere that f5ve is known for in the alt-pop scene. Her vocals walk the line between vulnerable and feral, bringing “Sugar-Free Venom” to a dramatic, glorious boil.
For those new to f5ve, the group’s been bubbling under the surface for a bit now—well-loved in the experimental scene for their edgy production style and hypnotic visuals.
But with “SEQUENCE 01,” they're stepping out of the shadows and aiming straight for the global stage.
