Band members going solo is a common cause of turmoil in countless bands. In K-pop girl group Mamamoo’s case, all four members have ventured into solo territory while continuing to contribute a healthy amount to the group.

One member, Moon Byul, released her funky, incredibly genre-diverse debut album Starlit of Muse earlier this year (it’s got some hip-hop influence, a couple of piano ballads, and “Attention Seeker,” a track that could play on any corporate local radio station that isn’t quite a pop song, but isn’t quite rock either).

Regardless of how you see it, expect to hear the majority of the new record at the first-ever Tampa Bay appearance of anyone from Mamamoo.

Tickets to see Moon Byul play Shimberg Playhouse inside Jaeb Theater at David A. Straz Center for the Performing Arts in Tampa on Friday, Dec. 6 are still available and start at $58.50.
