‘Debut’ Close Your Eyes, Imprints Presence with a Hit Song[Jeon Hyo-jin’s Selfish Pick]
◆ CLOSE YOUR EYES 1st Mini Album[ETERNALT]: How To Dance, Laid Back
- Signs of the birth of a trustworthy idol.
However, the debut album is enough to keep the public’s ears occupied with lyrics that are like a sentimental poem and easy to listen to.It was impressive that it broke away from the current male idol style that is mainly focused on strong music that emphasizes only performance.If they can maintain the perfection of this album in the future, they will inevitably become a word of mouth, and it seems that they will be able to join the lineage of idols that people trust and listen to.
The recommended ‘How To Dance’ is a refreshing pop rock number that comforts that when the rain stops, hope will come with the lines “It’s okay to get soaked / Go without an umbrella / My way of dancing in the rain / Just Dive in now, there’s nothing to be afraid of.” Also, ‘Laid Back’, which conveys sincerity mixed with playfulness, is an easy-listening number that stands out for its dynamic performance and fun expression of the push and pull of emotions.It’s a track that’s light but has a taste that slowly builds up so that it doesn’t fade away.
- Purity became an umbrella.
This album contains the process of bearing the first fruit called NCT Mark.The first solo album was completed with inspiration from four cities: his hometown Toronto, his first immigrant city New York, Vancouver where he spent his school days, and Seoul where he is pursuing his dream as an artist.
Among them, the recommended track ‘Raincouver’ is a compound word meaning Vancouver where it rains often, and it is a song that tells the beginning of Mark’s story during his school days.The moment he spit out the cheerful first lyric “I walked around when I was in middle school” on top of the peaceful chirping of birds and the piano riff that sounds like raindrops falling, warm memories of Vancouver are completely conveyed.The kick is “My Raincouver” with Mark’s unsophisticated vocals,
- A loud ‘dae’ sound, ‘seong’.A resonating sound that creates waves.
Daesung, the youngest member of group Big Bang, has released his first solo album in Korea after 19 years of debut.With the success of “Look at Me, Guisun” and “Daebakiya!” , he was recognized as an idol singer specializing in composed trot among Korean listeners, but Daesung showed off his wide spectrum of vocals with singles and songs from Big Bang’s albums such as “Wings,” “Cotton Candy,” and “Smile.”
The first mini album[D s WAVE]is based on the metal rock genre and features various variations of Daesung’s shouting technique, which he also took charge of in the group, and his unique husky tone, such as the warm tone of heated iron cooling down.
I recommend ‘Us of Those Days’, ‘Fly Away’, and ‘Wolf’ from the new album, where he participated in writing lyrics and composing and also worked as a producer.’Us of Those Days’, which was done with the band The Rose, sings about the beautiful moments in life and the longing for the times gone by, and the lyrical vocals stimulate the emotions.’Fly Away’ is a track that you can sing along to at Daesung’s concerts as a performing singer, and its dynamic vocals and groovy modern rock sound are attractive.Sunwoo Jung-a’s song ‘Wolf’ is like a musical number, and it feels like hearing the movements of a wolf walking alone through a field in the darkness.
- “It’s a good time~” The aunt smiled brightly at Genji’s innocence.
Spring and love are endlessly sweet for the group Eunice, who made a comeback with the sweet and spicy ‘swish’ concept.As soon as I heard the first verse of “Spring rain that fell softly on my shoulder,” I had an intuition that this was the ‘song of the year.’ This song, which got off to a good start, causes excitement that tickles the heart until the end, making “my quiet heart become noisy.” Above all, ‘Spring Rain’ is completed with the fresh and lively energy that Eunice, with an average age of 17, can express appropriately for her age.
◆ TIOT(TIOT)3rd Mini Album[FLEX LINE]: Birthday
- ‘Happy Birthday Today’ is perfect as a morning song.Members Hong Gun-hee, Kim Min-seong, and Shin Ye-chan participated in writing the lyrics, and T.I.O.T’s unique excitement of ‘making every moment special like a birthday’ fills your eardrums.’Birthday’, which opens with a refreshing and cool flute sound, is a hip-hop track that properly ‘flexes’ a brisk rhythm.
- Sensual Vitamin Chew.
‘ Positive energy evangelist ‘Chuu’s other side is revealed for the first time[Only cry in the rain].Chuu’s solid vocals blend with sentimentality, broadening the spectrum.This means that one song can be interpreted in various ways depending on the listener’s emotions.
The recommended track ‘Je t’ aime ‘was like that.It’s a special moment when the confession of love that hums “It’s not as exciting as the hot first time/It’s calm like a gentle breeze/It’s familiar like the flow of time/It’s natural like a trivial daily life” to the various relationships we have.The vintage guitar sound is warm on some days, and a good background sound to cry on other days.
◆ Jannabi 4th full album[Sound of Music pt]: I will die for you♥x3
- Life is a three-life cycle, “I’ll wait for you with my one remaining life.” If you’re curious about the charm of warm metal rock, listen to Jannabi’s 4th full-length album.Among them, “I Will Die for You♥x3” is an impressive track with a sound that is calm as if you’re in a weightless universe but doesn’t let your guard down.
◆ FIFTY FIFTY 3rd Mini Album[Day & Night]: Heartbreak
- A moist dawn full of humidity.Fifty Fifty showed off delicate vocals based on acoustic.’Heartbreak’ is an easy listening medium pop ballad about girls who don’t have the courage to look into their wounds.However, the overwhelming melody development comforts the ‘real me’ who finally faces it after overcoming the wounds.
