Singer-songwriter Ahn Ye-eun will release her fourth EP, ‘Story Bag’, through various music sites at 6 PM today (the 21st). Ahn Ye-eun is releasing a new album for the first time in about 1 year and 9 months since the release of her regular album, ‘Easily Written Stories’.
The title song, ‘Carp King’, is an electroswing genre song that tells the story of a carp that suddenly appears from somewhere and tells stories. Ahn Ye-eun‘s actual dream about a carp was given the character of a storyteller, and the carp tells the story as the narrator. The addictive melody added to the lyrics, such as “Choose, choose, catch, catch”, doubles the excitement.

In addition, ‘Story Bag’ includes ‘Inae’, which depicts the heart of a narrator who is left alone after a breakup and reminisces about a past love, ‘The Last Moon’, a folk genre that projects the lonely heart of a narrator on the last day of the month, ‘That Love Was Not My Love’, which expresses the appearance of a narrator who has mastered love with a rock metal sound, ‘It’s Still Winter Here’, which is Ahn Ye-eun‘s first bossa nova song that tells the story of how it’s spring for everyone but me, and ‘Carp King (Inst.)’, which is an instrumental version of the title song ‘Carp King’, for a total of 6 songs.
‘Story Bag’ continues the ‘storytelling of music’ This album is a result of Ahn Ye-eun, who has built a unique musical world through her creative approach, weaving together various stories.
