Description (Translated):
Warm consolation to the youthSeo Eunkwang (BTOB) 1st Mini Album [FoRest : Entrance]
Seo Eunkwang's first mini-album [FoRest : Entrance] has been released. 'FoRest' is a compound word of 'Forest' and 'For Rest', implying that we present warm and comfortable music that gives listeners a break. 'FoRest' goes beyond the dictionary definition of a space called a forest, and means a colorful musical world presented by Seo Eun-kwang with the keyword 'healing', like the coziness and comfort provided by nature. Starting with ballads, songs in a wide range of styles, such as modern rock and swing jazz, commonly convey the message of 'empathy' and 'comfort'. The delicate voice of Seo Eun-kwang, the main vocalist of BTOB, which has already been verified, is enough to touch the hearts of the tired youth.
Just like Seo Eun-kwang's desire to include music that anyone can relate to because it's his first solo album, [FoRest: Entrance] is like the entrance to a forest wide open to everyone. In particular, I wanted to instill hope so that young people who are lost in their dreams do not feel helpless anymore. It is more meaningful because it is not an ordinary love song, but a song dedicated to all those who have gone through or are going through puberty in life.
Seo Eun-kwang's 1st mini album [FoRest : Entrance] contains 7 songs, including the title song 'Nobody Knows', starting with the pre-released song 'Drawer', which evoked a lot of attention in collaboration with Melomance Jung Dong-hwan. Inspired by Seo Eun-kwang's nickname, 'Silverlight', this album was produced in two versions, 'Silver' and 'Light', and contains images of various concepts filmed on location and in the studio, respectively. In addition, a set of letter paper and letter envelope is enclosed to add specialness so that you can write down your concerns in handwriting and send them by letter. BTOB leader Seo Eun-kwang, who has a reputation for loving fans, will transform into a trouble counselor unique to 'Melody' in this album and communicate with fans in a more friendly way.
The music video for the title song 'Nobody Knows' was directed by Lee Rae-kyung, a behind-the-scenes director, and portrayed the loneliness in the early summer scenery with a soft texture. Seo Eun-kwang's delicate acting, which expresses the growth of youth looking at the bigger world outside the window from a small figure in the mirror, stands out. Let's comfort our tired hearts with Seo Eun-kwang's warm music, dazzling like the summer sun and filled with hope and excitement.
01. Drawers
Composed and Arranged by Jung Dong-hwan
Lyrics by Jung Dong-hwan, Park Seong-mi, Heo Jin-ho
'Drawer' is a song that contains a message to those who give for me. Eunkwang's warm voice is added to the lyrics cheering for those in a new situation, giving an infinite impression. With a melody that seems like watching a musical, the song begins with a restrained harmonious progression and is soon filled with string instruments that expand like a drama. A gift from Melomance's keyboardist Jeong Dong-hwan, the calm piano sound he plays himself rises brightly when he meets Eun-kwang's voice, ending dramatically through the modulation in the second half.
02. Nobody Knows
Composed, Arranged by KZ, Gomdol
Lyrics by KZ, D'DAY
'Nobody Knows' is a ballad genre song co-produced by composers 'KZ' and 'Gomdol'. It contains a hopeful message that young people in this day and age, who live haphazardly without goals, see themselves in the mirror at some point and gain enlightenment to find their dreams and future. Emotional melodies that highlight Seo Eun-kwang's singing ability and increasingly heightened arrangements are the highlight.
03. Have a nice day
Composed, Arranged by Zeenan, Yohan Shin, Seunghyun Jeon, Seungeun Oh
Lyrics by Zeenan, Yohan Shin, Seungeun Oh
'Have a nice day' is a British modern rock ballad with a triple rhythm. It is a charming song with a calm tone and a sorrowful yet restrained emotional line. The desperate feelings that surged after the breakup were expressed through greetings and belated confessions. Compared to the simple composition, the emotional change of each part stands out.
04. Even if nothing is eternal in the world (WALK)
Composed by Kiggen (X&), Yejun (YEJUN), BYMORE (X&)
Lyrics by Kigen (X&), Yejun (YEJUN), Jo Heeyeon
Arranged by YEJUN, BYMORE (X&)
'Even if nothing is eternal in the world (WALK)' is a love song that contains the heart that two people who are not particularly special will become one more special and eternal companion than anyone else. It is a moving ballad song that begins with a single prop of Seo Eun-kwang's voice and a piano accompaniment, and gradually builds up the strings to create a grand scale.
05. The Four Seasons
Composed, Lyrics by Seogi, Lee Hwanuk
Arranged by Seo Ki, Lee Hwan-wook, Jeon Sang-min
'Four Seasons' is a medium tempo song with a jazzy feel added to the arrangement that changes the composition of the song according to the flow of the seasons. It expresses the appearance of a sweet lover suitable for spring, summer, autumn and winter with beautiful lyrics. This song was composed by 'Seogi', the composer who arranged Akdong Musician's 'Long Day, Long Night', and Jeon Sang-min, who has worked with many artists such as Suzy and Chungha, played the piano.
06. Love Again
Composed, Arranged by Big Sancho (Yummy Tone), Lim Hyun-sik
Lyrics by Seo Eunkwang, Big Sancho (Yummy Tone),
'Love again' is a song composed by BTOB member Hyunsik Lim for Seo Eun-kwang before enlisting, and Seo Eun-kwang participated in writing the lyrics and completed it. The rough and strong drum beat of the modern rock style and the rhythmic guitar sound played by Lim Hyun-sik are impressive. It is a song that compares the sincerity of Seo Eunkwang, who has been active again after a long hiatus, to the excitement and promise of a reunited lover.
07. Blue Bird
Composed, Lyrics, Arranged by MosPick
This song is a gift to Melody, a precious person who always protects her like a blue bird symbolizing luck and happiness. The lyrics are touching, reminiscing about the day we first met like fate and promising to make you happy with an unchanging heart. Seo Eun-kwang's mournful and appealing voice and piano and string melodies harmonize to give a deep impression.
Description (Original):
청춘에게 보내는 따듯한 위로서은광 (비투비) 미니 1집 [FoRest : Entrance]
서은광의 첫 번째 미니앨범 [FoRest : Entrance]가 발매됐다. ‘FoRest’는 ‘Forest(숲)’와 ‘For Rest(휴식을 위한)’의 합성어로, 듣는 이로 하여금 휴식이 되는 따듯하고 편안한 음악을 선보인다는 뜻을 내포한다. ‘FoRest’는 사전적 정의인 숲이라는 공간을 넘어, 자연이 주는 아늑함과 편안함처럼 ‘힐링’을 키워드로 서은광이 선보이는 다채로운 음악적 세계를 의미한다. 발라드를 시작으로 모던록, 스윙재즈 등 폭넓은 스타일의 수록곡들은 공통적으로 ‘공감’과 ‘위로’의 메시지를 전달한다. 이미 검증된 바 있는 비투비 메인보컬 서은광의 섬세한 목소리는 지쳐 있는 청춘들의 마음을 어루만지기에 충분하다.
처음으로 공개하는 솔로 앨범이기에 누구나 공감할 수 있는 음악을 담고자 한 서은광의 마음처럼, [FoRest : Entrance]는 모두에게 활짝 열려 있는 숲의 초입과도 같다. 특히 꿈을 잃은 채 방황하는 청춘들이 더 이상 무기력함을 느끼지 않도록 희망을 심어주고자 했다. 평범한 사랑 노래가 아닌, 인생의 사춘기를 겪었거나 겪고 있는 모든 이들에게 바치는 노래라서 더욱 의미가 깊다.
서은광 미니 1집 [FoRest : Entrance]는 멜로망스 정동환과 합을 맞추어 화제를 불러일으켰던 선공개곡 ‘서랍’을 필두로, 타이틀곡 ‘아무도 모른다’를 포함한 7곡이 수록되어 있다. 서은광의 별명인 ‘실버라이트’에서 착안하여, ‘Silver’버전과 ‘Light’버전 2종으로 제작된 이번 앨범은 각각 로케이션과 스튜디오에서 촬영한 다양한 콘셉트의 이미지가 담겨 있다. 또한 친필로 본인의 고민을 적어 편지로 보낼 수 있도록 편지지와 편지봉투 세트가 동봉되어 특별함을 더했다. 팬 사랑으로 정평이 나 있는 비투비 리더 서은광은 이번 앨범에서 ‘멜로디’만의 고민상담사로 변신해 더욱 다정한 모습으로 팬들과 소통할 예정이다.
타이틀곡 ‘아무도 모른다’ 뮤직비디오는 비하인드더신 이래경 감독의 연출 하에 초여름 풍광 속 쓸쓸함을 부드러운 질감으로 그려냈다. 거울 속 작은 모습에서 창밖의 더 큰 세상을 바라보는 청춘의 발돋움을 표현한 서은광의 섬세한 연기가 돋보인다. 여름 햇살처럼 눈부시고, 희망과 설렘으로 가득 찬 서은광의 따듯한 음악으로 지친 마음을 위로해보자.
01. 서랍
Composed, Arranged by 정동환
Lyrics by 정동환, 박성미, 허진호
'서랍'은 나를 위해주는 사람들에게 전하는 메시지를 담은 곡으로, 새로운 상황에 놓인 사람들을 응원하는 가사에 은광의 따뜻한 목소리가 더해져 무한한 감동을 선사한다. 한 편의 뮤지컬을 보는 듯한 멜로디와 함께, 절제된 화성 진행으로부터 시작된 곡은 이내 드라마처럼 넓혀지는 현악기로 채워진다. 멜로망스의 키보디스트 정동환이 선물한 곡으로, 그가 직접 연주하는 잔잔한 피아노 사운드는 은광의 목소리를 만나 밝게 피어오르고, 후반부 전조를 통해 극적으로 마무리된다.
02. 아무도 모른다
Composed, Arranged by KZ, 곰돌군
Lyrics by KZ, D’DAY
‘아무도 모른다’는 작곡가 ‘KZ’와 ‘곰돌군’이 공동으로 프로듀싱한 발라드 장르의 곡이다. 목표 없이 되는대로 사는 게 일상인 이 시대 청춘들이 어느 순간 거울 속 자신의 모습을 보고 깨달음을 얻어 자신의 꿈과 미래를 찾아간다는 희망적인 메시지를 담았다. 서은광의 가창력을 더욱 돋보이게 하는 감성적인 선율과 점점 더 고조되는 편곡이 압권이다.
03. Have a nice day
Composed, Arranged by Zeenan, 신요한, 전승현, 오승은
Lyrics by Zeenan, 신요한, 오승은
‘Have a nice day’는 트리플 리듬의 브리티시 모던록 발라드 곡으로, 담담한 어조와 애절하면서도 절제된 감정선이 매력적인 곡이다. 이별 후 밀려오는 절절한 감정을 안부 인사와 뒤늦은 고백으로 표현했다. 단순한 구성에 비해 각 파트의 정서 변화가 도드라지는, 정적이면서도 감성의 다이내믹이 살아 숨 쉬는 무채색의 드라마를 담아냈다.
04. 세상에 영원한 게 없다 해도(WALK)
Composed by 키겐(X&), 예준(YEJUN), BYMORE(X&)
Lyrics by 키겐(X&), 예준(YEJUN), 조희연
Arranged by 예준(YEJUN), BYMORE(X&)
'세상에 영원한 게 없다 해도(WALK)'는 딱히 특별하지 않은 두 사람이 하나가 됨으로써 그 누구보다 특별하고 영원한 동반자가 될 거라는 마음을 담은 사랑 노래다. 서은광의 목소리 하나, 피아노 반주 하나의 소품으로 시작해서 점층적으로 쌓이는 스트링이 장대한 스케일을 이끌어내는 감동적인 발라드 곡이다.
05. 사계
Composed, Lyrics by 서기, 이환욱
Arranged by 서기, 이환욱, 전상민
스윙 리듬 기반에 업라이트 베이스와 재즈 피아노 연주가 멋지게 조합된 ‘사계’는 계절의 흐름에 따라 노래 구성이 바뀌는 편곡에 재즈적 느낌이 가미된 미디엄 템포의 곡이다. 봄, 여름, 가을, 겨울에 어울리는 다정한 연인의 모습을 아름다운 노랫말로 표현했다. 악동뮤지션 ‘오랜 날 오랜 밤’을 편곡한 작곡가 ‘서기’가 만든 곡으로, 수지, 청하 등 많은 아티스트와 함께한 전상민이 피아노를 연주했다.
06. Love again
Composed, Arranged by 빅싼초(Yummy Tone), 임현식
Lyrics by 서은광, 빅싼초(Yummy Tone),
‘Love again’은 비투비 멤버 임현식이 입대 전 서은광을 위해 작곡한 노래로, 서은광이 직접 작사에 참여해 완성시켰다. 모던록 스타일의 거칠고 강한 드럼 비트와, 임현식이 직접 연주한 리드미컬한 기타 사운드가 인상적이다. 공백기를 지나 오랜만에 다시 활동하게 된 서은광의 진심을 재회한 연인의 설렘과 약속으로 비유한 곡이다.
07. 파랑새
Composed, Lyrics, Arranged by MosPick
행운과 행복을 상징하는 파랑새처럼 항상 곁을 지켜주는 소중한 사람, ‘멜로디’에게 선물하는 곡이다. 운명처럼 서로가 처음 만난 그날을 회상하며, 언제나 변치 않는 마음으로 그대를 행복하게 해주겠다는 노랫말이 감동적이다. 서은광의 애절하고 호소력 짙은 목소리와 피아노, 스트링 선율이 어우러져 짙은 감동을 선사한다.
