ELFRIEDE, one of Tokyo's fastest rising all-girl bands, will release their first major mini album rebirth from JPU Records on CD outside of Japan on 3 April 2020, one year after the band made their official debut.

Opening anthem 'Break Heart' had its video revealed on YouTube recently and saw ELFRIEDE's rebirth into the world of uplifting Jpop-rock. Now the band follow it up with the mini-album's second track and video 'Eikou e no Yell', a hard-hitting rock track that combines delicate melodies with fist-pumping optimism.

rebirth features six songs in total, with the JPU Records edition including English lyric translations and romaji within the booklet. It will also be available to digitally download and stream from all major platforms around the world simultaneously with Japan on 18 March 2020. Scroll down to see more info about each member!
