Chapter 2
Kaleidoscope

My hands and lips were trembling as I looked at the screen of my laptop. I just entered the raffle codes from the albums I bought to check if I was one of the lucky fans, who'd get a limited pass for New Classic's first fan signing, and meet and greet.

Their first mini album, Kaleidoscope, had just came out last week. They even had an online live showcase for their debut album―where they discussed what the album was about and the songs it contains, and they also performed the title track of the album for the first time.

"Our first mini album is called Kaleidoscope," Ike started the talk about their album. "We decided to name it Kaleidoscope because just like how we perceived a kaleidoscope in our dreams, that's also how we want the listeners of our album to perceive our music. We want them to know that in times of difficulty and self-doubt, it is still possible that they can still see the beauty of oneself, by looking at the different aspects or colors of life."

The other members nodded, after Ike explained to us the meaning of their album. They really thought of a perfect name of their first mini album. Everyone in the chat box was saying how beautiful the title of their album was, and I couldn't agree more.

I remembered how they hit the charts, straight number one, just a week after Smile was released. Like what I expected, they had garnered a lot of fans. They actually acquired the record as the fastest rookie band to reach the number one spot.

Actually, I created a fanbase account to support the band. The account I was handling gained a lot of attention that I reached twenty thousand followers in no time. Every time I was stressed with academics, especially because midterms had just ended, I would just listen to smile and handle the fanbase account. I actually had a goal. If I'd reach fifty thousand followers, I would look for another admin, who could help me handle the account.

"The first track in the album is Smile, which is our debut single," Isaiah said. "As everyone knows, this song hopes to bring a smile to your faces, whenever you all listen to it."

Hearing and seeing him talking about Smile again gave me a sense of pride, knowing that the song was written because of me. I could listen to him talk about it forever.

Your tears are so precious
Just to let it fall on the ground
Smile and hope that someday
Things will come around

I'm singing for you
Who's crying tonight
Smile for me
Smile tonight
Smile under the moonlight
And shine

"Second track is Always," Ike stated, after they played Smile's chorus. "It is the title track of our album. The music video will be released, right after this live showcase."

"So please, guys, right after the live ended, quickly head over to our official Youtube channel, New Classic Official," Sic added.

"Yes, that's right!" Jirro commented. "But for our title track, since we will play it live for you later, we will skip the highlight and introduce our third track in the album entitled We Singing. It's a song we had written and composed, right after we were signed by Top Star. It talks about how we turn our hopes and dreams into reality by not being intimidated by our doubts and fears."

So here's to our hopes and dreams
We finally make it come true
And we singing na nana nana nananana

So here's to our doubts and fears
You'll never bring us down
We singing to you na nana nana nananana

My head automatically bobbed along the song, when they played a bit of We Singing's chorus. They all harmonized so well, while singing the chorus all together. The 'nanana' part was very catchy as well since it was upbeat. It was an alternative pop rock, I believed.
