Description (Translated):

APRIL's 2nd mini album 'Spring' released!
“April, the 'Spring Fairy-Spring Icon' who came to us in April, the season of flowers”

“The story of 'Spring Fairy' as fresh as a fairy tale”
“April fairy 'APRIL' becomes 'Tinker Bell' and delivers a message of love”

April, the fairy of spring that finally welcomed the first spring, becomes a fairy of April, befitting the group name, and blooms beautifully and splendidly like a flower that is a symbol of spring.

The second mini-album, 'Spring', filled with 5 songs with a high degree of perfection with different charms, containing a 'customized story' only for APRIL with music with various feelings and colors, is just about dreaming and imagining. Just as there are happy moments, this is an album that fully captures the wish that everyone who is tired of reality can become a main character in a fairy tale, fall in love, and enjoy happy imaginations at the moment when everyone who is tired of reality listens to April's album.


1. Wake Up
(Lyrics by ZigZag Note, Mafly / Composed by ZigZag Note / Arranged by ZigZag Note / String Arranged by Youngmin Ryu / Strings Performed by ON the string / Piano by Wooseok Yun / Guitar by Jeongsuwan / Synthesizer by Daehee Lee / Background Vocals by Hyuna Kim, Hyebin Kim / Recorded by Juncheol Choi, Minje Kim @DSP Studio / Jungshin Kwak, Moyeon Jeong @VIBE Studio / Mixed by Juncheol Choi @DSP Studio)
- 'Wake Up' is a medium tempo dance track with a lovely and fresh sensibility, plus an acoustic arrangement. The warm feeling that spreads throughout the song with the lyrics expressing the trembling heart while hesitating in front of the person you like is the point, making your heart flutter throughout the song.

2. Tinkerbell (Title)
(Lyrics by e.one / Composed by e.one / Arranged by e.one / String Arranged by LEL / Strings Performed by ON the string / Keyboards by Hohyeon / Guitar by Jung Suwan / Background Vocals by Keumjo / Recorded by Choi Juncheol , Kim Min-je @DSP Studio / Kwak Jung-shin, Jung Mo-yeon @VIBE Studio / Mixed by Mr. Jo @Cube Studio)
- 'Tinker Bell' is a 14-member song with a magnificent and splendid string sound that catches the ears. The lyrics are impressive, telling a fairytale-like story in real life where April, who became 'Tinkerbell', conveys pretty love to everyone who is tired of reality, and the vocals of the members stand out.

3. MFBF (To my future boyfriend)
(Lyrics by G-high, Joohyung Lee (MonoTree) / Composed by G-high, Lee Joohyung (MonoTree) / Arranged by G-high, Lee Joohyung (MonoTree) / Keyboards by G-high / Bass Guitar by Kim Byungseok / Guitar by Jukjae / Background Vocals by Youngkyung Choi / Vocal Directed by G-high / Digital Edited by Joohyung Lee@MonoTree Studio / Recorded by Juncheol Choi, Minje Kim @DSP Studio / Mixed by Tetsu Jun @Red brick Studio)
- 'MFBF (My Future Boyfriend)' is a song with impressive lyrics that expresses the excitement and excitement of imagining a future boyfriend you have yet to meet. The warm acoustic guitar sound and soft sound design make the soft piano feel the energy of spring, and all of this, combined with April's refreshing voice, conveys the green scent of love that has not yet grown.

4. When I open my eyes
(Lyrics by SEION / Composed by SEION / Arranged by SEION / Keyboards by SEION / Guitar by Jeong Su-wan / Background Vocals by SEION / Recorded by Choi Jun-cheol, Kim Min-je @DSP Studio / Mixed by Kim Min-je @DSP Studio)
- 'When I Open My Eyes' is an up-tempo dance song based on an acoustic arrangement, and is a song by female composer 'SEION'. The lyrics contain the love story of a girl who fell into a magically sweet 'love labyrinth', and she sang the girl's heart that does not want to wake up from a sweet dream, hoping that a prince will come to visit her like a princess in a sleeping forest. It gives listeners the feeling of reading a fairy tale.

5. Jelly
(Lyrics by e.one / Composed by e.one / Arranged by e.one / Keyboards by Hohyeon / Background Vocals by Keumjo / Recorded by Choi Juncheol @DSP Studio / Mixed by Mr. Jo @Cube Studio / Mixing assisted by Jeon Jeon @Cube Studio)
- 'Jelly' is a song characterized by a repetitive fluke sound and bass line. Unlike the powerful arrangement and unique melody, 'Jelly' contains witty lyrics that compare the push and pull of young children to cute jelly. It is a song that allows you to feel a different and intense sound that you couldn't feel in April's songs, and you can feel the vocal charm of the members.

- ‘Wake Up’은 사랑스럽고 상큼한 감성을 담은 미디움 템포 댄스 트랙에 어쿠스틱한 편곡을 더한 곡이다. 좋아하는 사람 앞에 망설이며 떨리는 마음을 표현한 가사가 포인트로 곡 전반에 퍼진 따뜻한 느낌이 듣는 내내 마음을 설레게 할 것이다.

- ‘팅커벨’은 14인조 편성의 웅장하고 화려한 스트링 사운드가 귀를 사로잡는 곡으로 경쾌한 리듬과 멜로디, 그리고 화려하고 다이나믹한 사운드를 느낄 수 있다. ‘팅커벨’이 된 에이프릴이 현실에 지친 모든 이들에게 예쁜 사랑을 전하는 현실 속의 동화 같은 이야기를 담은 가사가 인상적이며, 멤버들의 보컬 색이 돋보이는 곡이다.

4. 눈을 뜨면
(Lyrics by SEION / Composed by SEION / Arranged by SEION / Keyboards by SEION / Guitar by 정수완 / Background Vocals by SEION / Recorded by 최준철, 김민제 @DSP Studio / Mixed by 김민제 @DSP Studio)
- ‘눈을 뜨면’은 어쿠스틱한 편곡을 기반으로 한 업 템포 댄스 곡으로, 여류 작곡가 ‘SEION(세이온)’의 곡이다. 마법처럼 달콤한 ‘사랑의 미로’ 속에 빠진 소녀의 사랑이야기를 가사로 담았으며, 잠자는 숲 속의 공주처럼 왕자님이 찾아와 주기를 바라며 달콤한 꿈에서 깨어나고 싶지 않은 소녀의 마음을 노래했다. 듣는 청자로 하여금 한편의 동화를 읽은 듯한 느낌을 준다.

5. Jelly
(Lyrics by e.one / Composed by e.one / Arranged by e.one / Keyboards by 호현 / Background Vocals by 금조 / Recorded by 최준철 @DSP Studio / Mixed by 조씨아저씨 @Cube Studio / Mixing assisted by 전부연 @Cube Studio)
- ‘Jelly’는 반복되는 플러크 사운드와 베이스라인이 특징인 곡으로, 힘 있는 편곡과 독특한 멜로디와는 달리 새침하고 솔직한 꼬마 아이들의 밀당을 귀여운 젤리에 비유한 재치있는 가사를 담았다. 기존의 에이프릴의 노래들에서 느낄 수 없었던 색다르고 강렬한 사운드를 느낄 수 있으며, 멤버들의 보컬적인 매력을 느낄 수 있는 곡이다.
