Description (Translated):
'2018 New Year's first sortie' INFINITE'After 1 year and 4 months, they came back with a new 6-member group.
The 3rd regular album 'TOP SEED' released on January 8th... Title song 'Tell Me'
At 6 PM on January 8, 2018, the beginning of a new beginning for 6-member INFINITE will be held.
Infinite (Kim Sung-kyu, Jang Dong-woo, Nam Woo-hyun, Lee Seong-yeol, L, Lee Seong-jong) will be making their first appearance in the martial arts year with their new album 'TOP SEED'. This album is Infinite's first new album after 1 year and 4 months, and their 3rd full album after 3 years and 8 months since their 2nd regular album 'Season 2' in May 2014.
Starting with the intro song 'Begin' and ending with 'Begin Again', this album contains a total of 12 songs. R&B urban, metal rock, pop ballad, classic with waltz, various genres are melted here and there, boasting a richer sound. In addition, the solo songs that stand out with the sweet voice of Dongwoo, L, and Sungjong, who directly participated in writing lyrics, composing, and rap-making, further enhanced the collection value. In particular, the title song 'Tell Me' maintains Infinite's unique sensibility, but adds a dreamy and sophisticated feeling with minimal sound and restrained vocals. The more relaxed and mature performance is also more noteworthy.
In the outro track 'Begin Again', Infinite members added sincerity by containing the messages they really wanted to convey to those who cried and laughed together and gave them strength for a long time. As this is the first album to be released in the new year of 2018 after the team was reorganized into a 6-member system, it will be a compilation of the individual members' musical capabilities and personalities as well as the more mature Infinite's work.

01_Begin
[Lyrics BLSSD / Composed BLSSD / Arranged BLSSD]
As an intro song that marks the beginning of a new beginning for 6-member INFINITE, the development of the song is impressive as it gradually builds up and rises. With musical grandeur that only Infinite can realize, it seems to confirm their position once again while raising expectations for the new album.
02_Tell Me [Title]
[Lyrics BLSSD / Composed BLSSD / Arranged BLSSD]
While maintaining the unique sensibility of Infinite, it is a song with a completely different feel, similar to the existing Infinite, with a dreamy and sophisticated feel added to it with minimal sound and restrained vocals. A more relaxed and mature performance is also worth looking forward to.
03_Syncronise
[Korean Lyrics Moon Sulli / Composed Andreas Moe, Christian Fast, Ian Dench, Henrik Nordenback / Arranged Henrik Nordenback]

04_No More
[Lyrics Jung Gu-hyeon / Composed Jung Gu-hyeon / Arranged Jung Gu-hyeon]
It is a medium-tempo song that blends the progress of a piano riff that crosses the major and minor notes and the melody. From the lonely progression at the beginning of the song, the track gradually adds up, and the colorful chorus and melodies exchanged between the members stand out.
05_TGIF (Dong Woo Solo)
[Lyrics GALLERY, Dongwoo (Infinite) / Composed GALLERY, Dongwoo (Infinite) / Arranged GALLERY]
TGIF, an abbreviation of 'Thank God It's Friday', contains the meaning of 'Friday' in Korea. On Friday, announcing the start of the weekend, this song captures the excitement and good mood. It features a sophisticated tone on top of the funky grooves of drums, bass and guitar, with an arrangement that brings out the unique feel of R&B/Urban. Dongwoo, the main character of this song, participates in the lyrics and composition, interpreting the rap as well as the song perfectly in his own style. took a picture
06_Prayer (Maetel's Sorrow)
[Lyrics SWEETUNE / Composed SWEETUNE / Arranged SWEETUNE / Rap Making Dongwoo (Infinite)]
It has the feeling of a waltz of the Baroque era, and the grandeur of the strings and the synths that harmonize appropriately stand out. The classic 'Maetel's Sorrow' with a time of 6/8 time doubles the mysterious and magnificent feeling in the lyrics by properly mixing fantasy, poetic expression, and metaphor from the physical point of view, just like the atmosphere emanating from the song title.
07_Why me
[Lyrics SEION / Composed SEION / Arranged SEION]
It is a song about the sadness and pain of parting, the love and parting, and the longing that no matter how hard you try, you can't get out of it.
08_ blow
[Lyrics BLSSD, Razer / Composed BLSSD, Razer / Arranged BLSSD, Razer]
It is a song with an impressive intro that starts with the sound of an acoustic guitar and a whistle. It is a lyrical expression that uses the expression 'blow' in various ways to express the excitement of love. Contrary to this, the cool guitar sound adds to the refreshing feeling.
09_I Hate
[Lyrics Misfit, Ollounder, LEEZ / Composed Ollounder, LEEZ / Arranged Ollounder, LEEZ]
It is a metal rock genre song that unravels the pain of being unable to escape from a love-hate relationship. Overall, the strong guitar sound and the harmony of the electric synth sound in the chorus stand out. Up-and-coming composers Ollounder and LEEZ were in charge of composing.
10_Last Day (L Solo)
[Lyrics L(Infinite), Minji Jung / Composed Yongshin Kim, Taesung Kim, Gabriel Brunell Brandes / Arranged Yongshin Kim]
As a solo song by member L, Iconic Sounds representative producers 'Kim Yong-shin' and 'Kim Tae-seong' and emotional Swedish producer 'Gabriel Brunell Brandes' worked together. With a piano accompaniment melody and lyrical lyrics, it is a ballad song that allows you to feel L's own sensibility.
11_Confession (Sung Jong Solo)
[Lyrics Miseong / Composed Jeong Gu-hyun / Arranged Jeong Gu-hyun]
It is a solo song that expresses the sweetness of excitement before being a lover, and member Sungjong's timbre stands out. With nylon guitar as the main, piano and brass are added, you can feel the colorful atmosphere by mixing the feeling of Soft Jazz and the genres of Pop.

It is a medium-tempo song with an impressive arrangement based on a delicate and lyrical melody line and a rocking sound. It is a message that I really wanted to convey based on my gratitude and strong trust to the person who cried and laughed together and gave me strength for a long time. The unique and appealing voices of the INFINITE members were included to add to the sincerity of the song.
Description (Original):
‘2018 새해 첫 출격’ 인피니트(INFINITE)’1년 4개월만 새로운 6인 완전체로 돌아왔다
1월 8일 정규 3집 ‘TOP SEED’ 발매…타이틀곡 ‘Tell Me’
2018년 1월 8일 오후 6시, 6인조 인피니트(INFINITE) 새로운 시작의 서막이 열린다.
인피니트(김성규, 장동우, 남우현, 이성열, 엘, 이성종)가 새 앨범 ‘TOP SEED’를 들고 무술년 첫 출격한다. 이번 앨범은 인피니트가 1년 4개월 만에 발표하는 신보이자, 2014년 5월 정규 2집 ‘Season 2’ 이후 3년 8개월 만에 선보이는 3번째 정규 앨범이다.
인트로곡 'Begin'으로 시작해 'Begin Again'로 끝나는 이번 앨범은 총 12곡이 수록돼 있다. R&B 어반, 메탈 록, 팝발라드에 왈츠가 가미된 클래식까지 다양한 장르를 곳곳에 녹여내며 더욱 풍성한 사운드를 자랑한다. 여기에 직접 작사, 작곡, 랩메이킹에 참여하며 한껏 역량을 드러낸 동우와 엘과 성종의 감미로운 음색이 돋보이는 솔로곡들로 더욱 소장 가치를 높였다. 특히 타이틀 곡 ‘Tell Me’는 인피니트 특유의 감성은 유지하되 미니멀한 사운드와 절제된 보컬로 몽환적이며 세련된 느낌이 더해져 기존의 인피니트와 같은 듯 하면서 완전히 다른 새로운 느낌의 곡이다. 한층 여유로워지고 성숙해진 퍼포먼스 또한 더욱 주목할만하다.
아웃트로 트랙 'Begin Again'에서는 인피니트 멤버들이 오랜 시간 곁에서 함께 울고 웃으며 힘이 되어준 이들에게 꼭 전하고 싶었던 메시지들로 담아내 진정성을 더했다. 팀을 6인 체제로 개편한 후 2018년 새해 처음으로 선보이는 앨범인 만큼 멤버 개개인의 음악적인 역량과 개성, 이전보다 더욱 성숙해진 인피니트만의 작업물들이 풍성하게 수록된 결정체가 될 것이다.
[TRACK LIST] 앨범명 : [TOP SEED]
01_Begin
[Lyrics BLSSD / Composed BLSSD / Arranged BLSSD]
6인조 인피니트(INFINITE)의 새로운 시작의 서막을 알리는 인트로곡으로, 점진적으로 빌드업 되며 고조되는 곡의 전개가 인상적이다. 인피니트만이 구현 해 낼 수 있는 음악적 웅장함으로 새 앨범에 대한 기대감과 동시에 이들의 위치를 다시 한 번 확인시켜 주는 듯 하다.
02_Tell Me [Title]
[Lyrics BLSSD / Composed BLSSD / Arranged BLSSD]
인피니트 특유의 감성은 유지하되 미니멀한 사운드와 절제된 보컬로 몽환적이며 세련된 느낌이 더해진, 기존의 인피니트와 같은 듯 하면서 완전히 다른 새로운 느낌의 곡이다. 한층 여유로워지고 성숙해진 퍼포먼스 또한 기대 해 볼만 하다
03_Syncronise
[Korean Lyrics 문설리 / Composed Andreas Moe, Christian Fast, Ian Dench, Henrik Nordenback / Arranged Henrik Nordenback]
‘두 사람이 사랑으로 동기화가 되어있다’는 것을 표현한 곡으로, 웅장하고 시원한 기타 사운드가 돋보인다.
04_No More
[Lyrics 정구현 / Composed 정구현 / Arranged 정구현]
미디엄 템포의 메이저와 마이너를 넘나드는 피아노 리프의 진행과 멜로디가 어우러진 곡으로, 곡 초반의 쓸쓸한 진행에서 점점 더해지는 트랙으로 화려한 후렴구와 멤버들간의 주고받는 멜로디가 돋보인다
05_TGIF (Dong Woo Solo)
[Lyrics GALLERY, 동우(인피니트) / Composed GALLERY, 동우(인피니트) / Arranged GALLERY]
‘Thank God It’s Friday’의 축약어인 TGIF는 한국에선 속칭 ‘불금’의 의미를 담고 있다. 주말의 시작을 알리는 금요일, 그 설렘과 좋은 기분을 담아낸 이 곡은 드럼과 베이스 그리고 기타의 Funky한 그루브 위에 세련된 음색으로 R&B/Urban 특유의 느낌을 살린 편곡이 돋보인다. 이 곡의 주인공인 동우는 작사, 작곡에 참여하며 랩은 물론 노래까지 완벽하게 그만의 스타일로 해석하였고, 누가 언제 들어도 금요일 밤 분위기를 느낄 수 있게 메이킹 과정에서 작은 부분도 놓치지 않으며 마지막까지 완성도에 마침표를 찍어주었다.
06_기도 (메텔의 슬픔)
[Lyrics SWEETUNE / Composed SWEETUNE / Arranged SWEETUNE / Rap Making 동우(인피니트)]
바로크 시대의 왈츠 느낌을 가지고 있으며 스트링의 웅장함과 이에 적절한 조화를 이루는 신스가 돋보인다. 8분의 6박자의 클래식한 ‘메텔의 슬픔’은 곡 제목에서 풍기는 분위기처럼 판타지와 시적인 표현 그리고 물리학적 시점의 비유를 적절히 섞어 가사에서도 신비하고 웅장한 느낌을 배가시켰다.
07_왜 날
[Lyrics SEION / Composed SEION / Arranged SEION]
잠도 이룰 수 없을 만큼 아프고 잠이 들면 꿈 속에서 헤매는 이별의 슬픔과 아픔, 사랑과 이별, 그리고 아무리 노력해도 헤어나올 수 없는 그리움을 노래한 곡이다.
08_분다
[Lyrics BLSSD, Razer / Composed BLSSD, Razer / Arranged BLSSD, Razer]
어쿠스틱 기타와 휘파람 소리로 시작되는 인트로가 인상적인 곡으로, 가슴 벅찬 사랑의 설렘을 ‘분다’라는 표현으로 다채롭게 활용하여 서정적으로 풀어냈다. 이와 상반되는 시원한 기타 사운드는 청량감을 더해준다.
09_I Hate
[Lyrics Misfit, Ollounder, LEEZ / Composed Ollounder, LEEZ / Arranged Ollounder, LEEZ]
애증 관계의 사랑에서 헤어나올 수 없는 아픔을 풀어 낸 메탈 록 장르의 곡으로, 전반적으로 강렬한 기타 사운드와 후렴구의 일렉트릭한 신스 사운드의 조화가 돋보인다. 신예 작곡가 Ollounder와 LEEZ가 작곡을 맡았다.
10_지난 날 (L Solo)
[Lyrics L(인피니트), 정민지 / Composed 김용신, 김태성, Gabriel Brunell Brandes / Arranged김용신]
멤버 엘의 솔로곡으로, 아이코닉사운즈 대표 프로듀서 ‘김용신’, ‘김태성’과 감성적인 스웨덴 프로듀서 ‘Gabriel Brunell Brandes’가 함께 작업했다. 피아노 반주의 멜로디와 서정적인 가사의 노래로, 엘만의 감성을 느낄 수 있는 발라드 곡이다.
11_고백 (Sung Jong Solo)
[Lyrics 미성 / Composed 정구현 / Arranged 정구현]
아직 연인이기 전의 설레는 달콤함을 표현한 곡으로, 멤버 성종의 음색이 돋보이는 솔로곡이다. 나일론 기타를 메인으로 피아노, 브라스들이 더해져 Soft Jazz의 느낌과 Pop 성향의 장르들이 적절하게 섞여 다채로운 분위기를 느낄 수 있다.
12_Begin Again
[Lyrics 진리(Full8loom) / Composed 영광의 얼굴들(Full8loom), 진리(Full8loom) / Arranged 영광의 얼굴들(Full8loom), Jake K(Full8loom)]
섬세하고 서정적인 멜로디라인과 락킹한 사운드를 기반으로 세련되게 풀어낸 편곡이 인상적인 미디엄 템포의 곡으로, 오랜 시간 곁에서 함께 울고 웃으며 힘이 되어준 상대방에게 느끼는 고마움과 끈끈한 신뢰를 바탕으로 꼭 전하고 싶었던 메시지들을 인피니트 멤버들의 개성 있고 호소력 짙은 목소리로 담아내어 곡의 진정성을 더했다.
