Carats rejoice after Seventeen releases a compilation album of their greatest hits featuring a few new tracks. The album was released Monday, April 29th, and includes classic title tracks from every era of the 13-member boy band. But that isn’t the only cause for celebration – the album also boasts four new bangers, including the title track, MAESTRO, as well as “Lalali,” “Spell” and “Cheers to Youth.”

The album celebrates their tenth anniversary and gives fans one last heartfelt look at their career thus far. Although it may seem like a parting gift to their fans, Seventeen hinted at what’s to come during the initial promotion for “17 IS RIGHT HERE,” and it seems like their career is far from over…

Seventeen’s maknae, Dino spelled it out for the fans, saying that this album gives fans a final look at everything the band has achieved over the years, but also introduces something new “This album wraps up our past chapters and announces a new beginning for Seventeen,” he said.

“If you listen to the song carefully, you will find out that there are some familiar sounds used in it.” says Woozi as he explains using samples of their past hits such as “Adore U.”

The boys went on to further hint at the possibility of a world tour and another album released later this year. It seems that the band is doing everything they can to deliver what Carats are dreaming of – one can only hope Seventeen’s new era is just as iconic as the last.
