Get ready! Ejae, Rei Ami, and Audrey Nuna are gearing up for their debut live performance as Huntr/x, the sensational pop group from the hit series, KPop Demon Hunters, on The Tonight Show tonight! (This excludes their brief appearance in a Saturday Night Live skit where they didn’t perform a full track.) But wait, there’s more! Ahead of their highly anticipated performance, a new song mysteriously appeared, seemingly without any announcement or connection to the Netflix musical. Or at least that’s what the current listings say.
A track titled “Mazatlan By Night” surfaced on the official Huntr/x Spotify page on Sunday, but it has only garnered a few thousand streams thus far. Given the immense popularity and success of KPop Demon Hunters, a new release from the band should have immediately exploded online. So, what’s the story behind this low-key track? Early signs indicate that the song might not actually be a Huntr/x creation.
While songs from other musicians may sometimes appear on an artist’s page due to features or samples, dedicated fans of the KPop Demon Hunters soundtrack haven’t identified any familiar elements in “Mazatlan By Night.” Using music identification apps such as Shazam yields no results, failing to identify the track as anything, let alone a new song from the stars Rumi, Zoey, and Mira. This anomaly could be the result of an accidental upload, or something more perplexing might be at play. The song’s copyright is attributed to “Diskerux Diamond,” which doesn’t yield credible search results. Universal Music Group has been contacted for clarification, and updates will be provided as more information becomes available.
It’s possible the Huntr/x Spotify account was compromised, resulting in an unauthorized upload. Alternatively, a technical glitch might have led to this unusual occurrence. To the listeners anticipating new music from Huntr/x, hang tight! You’ll soon get to see them perform “Golden” live on The Tonight Show!
