Description (Original):
MONSTA X 미니11집 [SHAPE of LOVE]- 몬스타엑스의 사랑 방식 'LOVE', 더 성숙해진 메시지와 강렬해진 음악,
- 주헌, 3연속 타이틀곡 프로듀서...진화하는 몬스타엑스 음악
- 주헌-형원-I.M, 앨범 자작곡 수록, '자체제작 뮤지션' 성장ing
사운드는 더욱 치열하게 고민했고, 메시지는 더욱 아름답게 빚어냈다. 몬스타엑스가 새 미니앨범을 통해 다양한 사랑의 모습을 노래하며 몬스타엑스만의 확실한 음악적 컬러와 깊어진 생각을 들려준다.
2021년 11월 발매한 미니앨범 10집 [NO LIMIT]을 통해 한계 없는 무한가능성을 보여줬던 몬스타엑스는 새 미니앨범 [SHAPE of LOVE]에서 '사랑'을 주제로 노래한다. 나 자신에 대한 사랑부터, 몬스타엑스와 몬스타엑스 음악에 대한 사랑, 팬들을 향한 사랑까지 다양한 사랑의 모습을 담은 앨범은 성숙해진 몬스타엑스의 통찰을 보여줌과 동시에 더욱 명확해지고 진화한 몬스타엑스만의 색깔까지 담았다.
타이틀곡 'LOVE'는 몬스타엑스의 멤버 주헌이 프로듀싱을 맡은 곡으로, 몬스타엑스가 전하는 사랑의 의미를 담은 곡이다. “넌 사랑이 뭐라고 생각해”라는 형원의 치명적인 내레이션으로 시작하는 'LOVE'는 올드스쿨 느낌을 담은 캐치한 R&B 기타 사운드와 투박하면서도 그루비한 힙합 베이스를 현대적으로 해석해 몬스타엑스 특유의 강렬한 색채와 에너지를 뿜어낸다.
특히 주헌은 미니앨범 9집과 10집에 이어 이번 앨범에도 타이틀곡의 프로듀서를 맡아 몬스타엑스만의 음악색을 더욱 진하게 만들었다. 가사에는 순수한 어린아이처럼 좋아하는 감정을 숨기지 못하고, 나의 모든 걸 다 주고 싶다는 의미의 사랑을 그렸다. 몬스타엑스가 어린 그때의 감정으로 돌아가 팬들에 대한 사랑을 쌓아오며 우린 늘 그 자리에서 사랑하고 있었다는 의미를 더했다. 특유의 강렬한 사운드로 몬스타엑스 음악에 대한 사랑을 표현했다면, 가사를 통해서는 팬들을 향한 사랑을 담아내 여러 사랑의 모습을 모두 그리는 데 성공했다.
뮤직비디오에도 팬들과 자신들의 음악에 대한 사랑을 쌓아온 몬스타엑스만의 서사가 그대로 담겼다. 시상식 콘셉트를 차용해 몬스타엑스가 걸어온 발걸음을 상징적으로 표현했으며, 화려한 군무와 멤버 각각의 비주얼, 사랑을 표현하는 오브제들이 어우러져 눈을 뗄 수 없는 몰입감을 선사한다.
주헌뿐만 아니라 형원, I.M 또한 이번에도 수록곡 대부분 작사, 작곡, 편곡에 참여하며 몬스타엑스의 뛰어난 음악적 역량을 발휘했다. 사랑의 시작과 설렘을 불씨에 빗댄 형원의 자작곡 'Burning Up', 사랑에 빠져드는 순간을 표현한 'Breathe', 변질된 사랑이 주는 괴로움을 표현한 'Wildfire', 팬들을 향한 진정성 있는 메시지를 담은 주헌의 자작곡 '사랑한다', I.M의 묵직한 메시지가 울림을 주는 'AND'까지, '사랑'이라는 주제에 맞춰 표현해낸 다채로운 트랙리스트가 유기적으로 얽혀 듣는 재미를 더한다. 특히 'Wildfire'는 형원, I.M, 주헌이 공동으로 작업해 몬스타엑스표 음악적 팀워크를 느낄 수 있다.
2015년 데뷔해 독보적인 존재감으로 K팝씬에 자리 잡은 몬스타엑스는 국내외를 넘나드는 글로벌한 인기를 얻으며 큰 사랑을 받았다. 미니앨범 11집에 이르러 데뷔 8년차에 접어든 몬스타엑스. 이제 그들만의 사랑 방식으로 받은 사랑보다 더 큰 사랑을 돌려줄 준비를 마쳤다. 차별화된 음악과 강렬한 퍼포먼스 속에 성숙해진 메시지까지 갖춘 몬스타엑스의 계속되는 성장이 또 어떤 성과를 거둘지 기대를 모은다.
