Cravity 'Liberty: In Our Cosmos': New release date, and all about 2nd studio album
Update: The label has now announced a new release date for Cravity's first studio album, 'Liberty: In Our Cosmos'.
The Covid wave is really wrecking the schedules of upcoming K-pop debuts and comebacks with multiple idols testing positive. Eight of the nine Cravity members have Covid and so their label, the Starship Entertainment group, has announced that their 2022 comeback will be postponed. Cravity was set to drop their upcoming album ‘Liberty: In Our Cosmos,’ which is a full-length album, only six months after their last.
The upcoming album marks Cravity’s fourth comeback after their debut in April of 2020 with their first mini-album, ‘Season 1. Hideout: Remember Who We Are’. The group then went on to release two more albums in their ‘Hideout’ series. Back in August of 2021, Cravity released their first studio album, ‘The Awakening: Written in the Stars’ that peaked at number 3 on Korean charts soon after its release.
