Welcome back #SoundLovers! AMPERS&ONE has finally made their way to "have some fun" in the U.S. During their ' 2025 Live Tour My First_ ' in Louisville! Photo Credit: BR On Sunday, March 2nd, Louisville's community-oriented and locally intimate venue, The Art Sanctuary -- a venue known for showcasing and supporting visual, literary, and performing arts -- played host to AMPERS&ONE as they made their ninth tour stop! Despite the chilly, crisp air, ANDEAR (AMPERS&ONE's official fandom name) spent the afternoon meeting other ANDEAR, sharing stories of their bias, and how they came to know AMPERS&ONE -- whether through their debut or their time on survival shows, such as Mnet's 'Boys Planet,' 'Wild Idol,' or even 'Treasure Box.' Making their way into the venue, some fans headed to the merch line, while others quickly took the main floor to find a spot to claim as their own. Prepping for the evening's show, attendees were eager to collect their light sticks and signs for the group and their bias -- with one fan's sign requesting for Siyun to smile. As the stage -- illuminated in two white spotlights from the front, a chic black backdrop reading AMPERS&ONE , and floor LEDs reading A & 1 across the stage -- darkened, ANDEAR filled the 26,000 square foot venue with a unison cheer as members Kamden, Brian, Jiho, Siyun, Kyrell, Mackiah, and Seungmo took the stage for their debut performance in Louisville. Signaling the first stage, the bell ran, beat dropped, and the well-known intro to the group's debut song, " On and On ," began -- generating cheers louder than before. Mirroring the youthful and upbeat vibe of the song, the group appeared in white button-ups, dress slacks, and black and white sneakers with varied style black sweaters, cardigans, and uniform jackets. With only the first song complete, the night's energy level had been set, as fans were singing along, dancing in spot, and some even taking note of the members' taller than expected statures. As a group who always showcases their love for their fans, the members took a quick break to acknowledge the crowd with a shout, " Man, it's crowded in here. " before asking the crowd if they were ready for the next song so as not to lose the energy from the crowd. Continuing with the youthful vibe, AMPERS&ONE performed the cute and light-hearted song, " Someday ," where they showcased not only a sharp choreography that felt weightless, but with beaming smiles that livened the venue and heightened the energy of the fans. Quickly moving into the next youthful stage, the members were still beaming with smiles as they caught the crowd singing and dancing along to " He + She = We ." Beginning with Seungmo, then moving to Kyrell, Brian, Kamden, Mackiah, Siyun, and ending with Jiho, the members of AMPERS&ONE took a moment to introduce themselves and their tour. Kyrell took over, acknowledging, " Louisville, we were very, very excited to be coming here, so thank you all for showing up tonight. I saw you guys waiting outside, I know it was cold, but thank you guys so much. I hope you guys are staying warm, and let's have some fun! " The next stage, earning cheers from the crowd at the first note, was followed by a silent venue as fans were captivated by the group's opening choreography before joining in singing to " Over The Moon ." As the chorus came around, fans also began jumping along to the music and waving their light sticks to the beat—illuminating their space in a sea of colors to mirror the lights shining from the back of the stage. Not ready to lose the light-hearted and youthful vibe, the group continued with another fan-favorite track from their debut album, " Sheesh ." The beaming smiles and notable expressions of pure enjoyment from the members of AMPERS&ONE—beginning from the first note of " On and On " and carrying through the end of " Sheesh "—were on full display as Kyrell smiled adoringly at fans any time he was in the spotlight, Brian winking and blowing a kiss to the crowd as they continued to sing along and cheer, and Mackiah forming a heart above his head during a transition piece of the choreography. Taking a moment to once again acknowledge the crowd, Kyrell pointed out, " I noticed you guys were having so much fun ," while Kamden added, " I noticed you guys singing along and some not singing along. Who was vibing? " before excusing Mackiah, Jiho, Seungmo, and himself, stating, " I would love to continue and have fun with you guys, but some of us have to get ready for our next stage, " and Seungmo promising, " We will be back soon! " Leaving Brian, Kyrell, and Jiho on stage, their talk segment became a segment led by the crowd teaching the members the "correct way" to say their city's name, Louisville, and what it meant to "put your L's up." Kyrell took the lead and continued various attempts before pronouncing Louisville in the widely-accepted Southern sense—earning a chuckle from Brian when fans began cheering—before asking the crowd if they were ready for, " Plot Twist ." The trio covered the widely known and beloved TWS song in their own style—visibly enjoying the crowd's responsive cheers throughout the performance. Taking their leave, it was time for the quartet consisting of Mackiah, Jiho, Seungmo, and Kamden to return to the stage, now fitted in an array of reds and blacks exuding a more mature feel that contrasted the earlier stages. Signaling the beginning of their performance, Mackiah asked the crowd if they were ready for what was coming up, to which the crowd cheered loudly. Following up to the crowd's cheers, Mackiah was in shock, asking, " Do you guys know what song is next? " to which the crowd responded, " Good Boy Gone Bad ." Without any further introduction, the quartet took their places and took their spot on the stage and performed a sharp rendition of the TXT song. Once again turning their stage into a teaching session, the crowd began to encourage the members on a different pronunciation for their beloved city before Mackiah suggested the quartet show off a sexy pose for the crowd followed by a little friendly competition to determine which group could perform " Plot Twist " better. Finally joined once again by Brian, Kyrell, and Siyun, it was time to change the atmosphere of the venue -- beginning with a dance break stage, AMPERS&ONE was sure to showcase their powerfully sharp, beautifully controlled, and remarkably synchronized choreography skills before moving into a segment of cover stages. The crowd filled the venue with deafening cheers as the continuation of beautifully controlled, yet powerful choreography continued into fan-favorite covers of " Blood Sweat & Tears " by BTS and " God's Menu " by Stray Kids. Contrasting the hip-hop vibe, Jiho, Kyrell, and Siyun highlighted their vocal skills with a performance of Justin Bieber's " Sorry " before Seungmo, Kamden, Brian, and Mackiah took the stage to show a more sensual stage with a cover of Bruno Mars' " That's What I Like ." Determined to carry on their tradition of changing the lyrics to the name of the city they were performing in, the stage once again turned into a stage of learning where the crowd kept encouraging the "correct way" to pronounce their city's name. After Brian finally obtained crowd approval for his pronunciation, he took a moment to teach the other members. Some members of the crowd became hecklers of their own doing with comments like, " We have barns here! We ain't got no condos! This is the Bluegrass State! " before a successful attempt at changing the lyrics. It was time for Jiho, Kyrell, and Siyun to take over the stage -- this time sporting their white button-up layered with a black leather jacket. Kyrell then took this moment to share with the crowd how it came about that their unit performed, " Sorry ." " We wanted to do something for the other team, and we thought about which artist we should do. Do you guys know the artist's songs?" The three once again made an attempt at a crowd-approved pronunciation of Louisville before Kyrell kicked off the next segment of TikTok dance challenges with " Igloo " by Kiss of Life. Trying to determine which member would go next, Kyrell took to the crowd, who couldn't decide between Siyun or Jiho, so it was settled through a game of rock-paper-scissors, and it was determined that Jiho would be next as aespa's " Whiplash " began to play. Finally, it was time for Siyun to take his turn as TXT's " Good Boy Gone Bad " began to play -- at which point he was immediately joined by Kyrell and Jiho. As the short track came to an end, the remaining members came out to begin their final segment with Kamden introducing the next stage. " The next song is definitely a song. I hope you guys enjoy it. Anyway, are you guys ready for our next song?!? " As the crowd cheered on the members, they took their spot as the powerfully catchy intro to " Broken Heart " began and the crowd belted out " BROKEN! BROKEN! BROKEN HEART HEART! " before Kamden and Mackiah showcased the song's heavy bass and hard-hitting raps. As the crowd's energy continued to only elevate all the way through to the end of the performance, the group continued straight into fan-favorite " Whip It " which had fans singing along and filling the venue once again with cheers for the members. Taking only a brief moment, Kamden shared his stage experience with all by saying, " I accidentally kicked this fan during the performance."  Showcasing their sense of humor -- upon hearing this, Siyun, Jiho, and Kamden immediately went to check on the floor fan that was placed on stage to help keep the members cool to ask if it was okay. After shortly acknowledging the crowd for dancing along, Kyrell then leads into the next song, " So from now on, I want you guys to give it everything you've got, okay? " The members then take their edge of the stage for a fan-interactive performance of the lighthearted song, " Sweet & Sour ." Following AMPERS&ONE's lead, the crowd swayed their hands and lightsticks from left to right as they sang along to the chorus. Being sure to acknowledge as many as possible, members posed for pictures, gave finger hearts, and waved at fans as they made their way from one part of the stage to another during the performance. AMPERS&ONE maintained the crowd's energy and excitement with a performance of " Calling You Back ," the lighthearted pop track that was the perfect way to begin closing out the night. Next, it was time for the members to signal their final stage before the encore with Kamden expressing, " I had so much fun here in Louisville today. Did ANDEARs also have a lot of fun?! " to which the crowd responded with a loud cheer before the members took a moment to share their ending thoughts. "Time passed by so quickly because everyone was dancing along and enjoying the stage. I really wish I have another chance to come back here!" - Seungmo "This is our ninth show, guys. Before I brought myself on stage, though I told myself that I wanted this to be like it was the first time." - Kyrell "I just want to thank you so much for coming out today, and dancing along. You guys have some great dance moves." - Brian "I was happy to perform here today in front of some crazy energy people. Tonight will be unforgettable." - Kamden "ANDEARs, you guys are so great. Thank you guys for coming and showing us love." - Mackiah "Everyone was dancing along. It felt like we created a stage together." - Siyun "When I heard that we were going on our first tour, I was very excited and very worried. But when I came here and we performed, I was so happy that you guys cheered for us." - Jiho It was now time for a commemorative photo with AMPERS&ONE and ANDEAR before entering the final stage of this segment, with Kamden exclaiming, " Thank you so much for everything, ANDEARs! " The members took their place at the edge of the stage once more in a row as the beautiful piano intro began, and AMPERS&ONE showcased their beautiful harmonies with a heartfelt performance of " Fly ." After their final wardrobe change, the members arrived back on stage sporting tour merch for a more high-energy performance of " He + She = We ( English Version )" to which Jiho, being the incredible dancer that he is, began to dance bits and pieces of the group's choreography throughout the stage. Other members, including Siyun and Mackiah, were jumping along with the crowd throughout the song. Mackiah introduced the next song by asking the crowd, " We will need you guys to join us and sing along ," before instructing ANDEAR on the call & response part of which they would be helping with—where after AMPERS&ONE says, " Red light , Green light, " and " All day, All night ," the crowd would respond by shouting, " GO! " After a successful performance of " Slide ," the intro of " Crazy Stupid Fun " began, and the venue hall turned into a party! With fans jumping along, a sea of multi-colored lightsticks imitating the movements of the crowd, and the stage lights replicating that of a rave.

PSYCHIC FEVER is a Japanese boy group under EXILE TRIBE consisting of seven members– Tsurugi, Nakanishi Ryoga, Watanabe Ren, JIMMY, Kohatsu Kokoro, Handa Ryushin, and WEESA. Formed in 2019, the group has been around and making music for over five years now. They recently embarked on their first USA tour, visiting a few cities around the country.  Photo Credit: Lauren L. The Dallas fans in particular definitely showed up and showed off in a spectacular fashion that was hard to miss. As I navigated through the crowd, I was greeted by a dazzling array of bedazzled cowboy hats that sparkled under the venue lights, creating a vibrant sea of colors. The leather outfits were not just a fashion statement; they were a testament to the fans' dedication and love for the genre, with intricate designs and personal touches that reflected their unique personalities. Additionally, I spotted some truly remarkable shoes that ranged from flashy to elegantly understated, each pair telling its own story about the wearer’s style and enthusiasm. The pre-show energy was palpable and electric, with an atmosphere that felt charged with excitement. The room was abuzz with a symphony of conversations, laughter, and spontaneous singing, as fans eagerly anticipated the performance ahead. As the show began, the atmosphere shifted dramatically; high crowd anticipation quickly erupted into a chorus of screams and cheers as the performers took the stage and launched into their first song. The high-energy dance routines and captivating performances maintained an exhilarating pace throughout the next few songs, with the artists taking moments to engage directly with the audience, further amplifying the connection and excitement. The group’s outfits were particularly eye-catching, featuring matching ‘PSYCHIC FEVER’ leather jackets that exuded a cool, cohesive vibe. A few of them sported stylish sunglasses, while one member even donned a cowboy hat, perfectly blending the local culture with their unique style. The energy of the performance was infectious, seamlessly mirroring the vibrant and enthusiastic vibes radiating from the crowd. About halfway through the show, the performers shifted gears and treated the audience to a series of solo and unit songs, which kept the momentum and good energy flowing without a hitch. This segment of the performance was a delightful showcase of individual talents, allowing each member to shine in their own right while still contributing to the overall dynamic of the group. Following this energetic display, there was an outfit change that introduced a more romantic, velvet, and sultry vibe, which was a stark yet refreshing contrast to the earlier high-energy performances. This change set the stage perfectly for one of their newest songs, ‘Paradise,’ which was performed with a hauntingly beautiful intensity that captivated the audience. As the show transitioned into a slower, lower energy set of songs, the crowd remained just as engaged and enthusiastic, swaying along and singing every word, proving that the connection between the artists and their fans was as strong as ever.

Welcome Back #SoundLovers! K Fuse had the pleasure of conversing with Sofia Gillani , an experimental singer-songwriter, ahead of the release of her new single “ Read your mind ,” a fun song about platonic love, and more about her musical journey and influences.  Sofia Gillani had an interest in music from an early age and her starring as a lead in the musical Evita  as a child officially sparked her passion for performing. Over the years, she has been avidly pursuing a career in music by independently writing, producing, self-promoting and even directing her own music videos! Check out our exclusive interview with Sofia Gillani below to learn more about her musical journey and her new single, “ Read your mind .”  K FUSE:  For our readers who are meeting you for the first time, please introduce yourself.  Sofia Gillani:   Hi!! I'm Sofia Gillani, an experimental singer songwriter who has released a number of original songs ranging from R&B to pop to even rap!  K FUSE: Can you share when you first knew you wanted to pursue music? Sofia Gillani:   I have always been quite a vocal person - growing up around instruments and a musical dad has generally led me to feel free to express myself! I remember my first performance very vivdly - a talent show, when I was in primary school was my first real recognition of me wanting to release original music, and with the support system around me, it's been fun! K FUSE:  You’ve described yourself as an “experimental avant-garde pop artist.” Is there one genre that you feel specifically drawn to recently?  Sofia Gillani: Definitely garage - my new single coming out - 'Read your mind' definitely has garage and pop fused into it, maybe from a PinkPanthress obsession recently haha! But some of the stuff I'm working on now also has a bit of drill in it, which is pretty cool to experiment with! K FUSE: You’ve definitely crafted your own sound that is uniquely Sofia Gillani, but would you say there are any music artists that have inspired or influenced you in some way?  Sofia Gillani:  I have had many inspirations, but if I had to choose my inspirations of the moment - I'd have to say Victoria Monet, Ariana Grande, and Chlöe - their deep and rich production is something I want to explore in my own music. K FUSE: Who would you most desire to collaborate with if given the opportunity and why? Sofia Gillani: Absolutely Ariana Grande - She's so in sync with music, channelling her personality and flare into her albums. She's also quite experimental - with a lot of R&B in her albums 'Sweetener' and 'Positions'. K FUSE: Do you have any rituals ahead of performing?  Sofia Gillani:   Warming up, I like to drink a green tea before every interview - It's a drink that has never steered me wrong. K FUSE: Is there a story behind your new single “Read Your Mind?” Or can you share something from the creative process? “‘ Read Your Mind ' is about a more social side of me, where I often just wanted to know what people were thinking, not because of fear of judgement, but because I was so curious about how people had such different personalities from each other but were able to connect.” Sofia Gillani: It explores platonic love in my life, and me reflecting on how different people are and how it's impossible to 'read' everyone's mind! I love my friends very deeply and love making emotionally vulnerable connections (as a cancer, duh) and this song is part of my lived experiences. K FUSE:  What can listeners expect from “Read Your Mind?” “I believe platonic love is so incredibly strong, so this song was mainly about me building relationships that are so dear to me and navigating different people - even with the trials and tribulations that come with it. I feel like platonic love is not talked enough about, and this fun garage beat makes this song so relatable as the highs and lows of close friendship experiences is one that makes us very emotionally vulnerable.” Sofia Gillani: Something fun and more chill than my other songs, that you could play to decompress - it's definitely one of my favorites, so I hope it will be one of theirs! K FUSE: What’s on your personal recently played playlist?   Sofia Gillani: Some songs that really stand out are 'Glowing' by Alayna, 'Love Again' by Alex Isley, 'Surprise' by Chlöe and 'Stranger' by Hailey Knoxx. K FUSE: What can fans look forward to in 2025?  Sofia Gillani:   Definitely more releases, but also more gigs around the country - stay tuned on my ig - sofia.aneesa.gillani. K FUSE:  Lastly, do you have anything you’d like to share with our K Fuse readers (#SoundLovers)? Sofia Gillani:   If you need something new and refreshing to listen to - I'd recommend Sofia Gillani! I'd love for you to join my journey! Sofia Gillani ’s new single “Read Your Mind” releases on February 28.
