FIFTY FIFTY - The 1st Single [The Beginning: Cupid]
Newcomer Fifty Fifty received favorable reviews for their debut album with deep musicality and colorful images.
100 days after their debut album, they are making a comeback with their first single album [The Beginning: Cupid].
This album is a prequel, the first beginning of the Fifty Fifty worldview, and shows the multi-layered inner world of the four girls facing a new beginning. In addition, the pure and clumsy images of innocent girls who do not know their charms are honestly captured with excitement and fear.
The gap between the desire to do well and the reality that does not go according to one's will. Cupid, the only one the girls can rely on in that precarious situation. Cupid is a talisman in the mind in an unstable psychological state, sometimes giving girls relief, but also causing resentment when things don't go well.
The moment the passive girls become independent, they no longer need Cupid. It contains the message of overcoming fear and changing by breaking away from Cupid, which has been subconsciously dependent. 'Cupid' is a song that shows the growth process of four girls and their beginning.
'Cupid' announces the beginning of the song with a retro-style melody reminiscent of chanson and a faint voice. Also, based on a minimal disco beat and a funky bassline, this song guides you step by step into the world of Cupid through the harmony of soft vocals and pads. The chorus part “I gave a second chance to Cupid” is
It shows a light yet humorous side through refreshing synths and melodious piano melodies. The sweet vocals show off their loveliness to the fullest, and the spicy rap part adds umami to the song.
This single album contains a total of three tracks, including the title track number 1, the twin version's track number 2, which focuses on a different mix and easy listening with English lyrics, and the instrumental of the title. Member Kina participated in the rap making, and Saena also participated in the point choreography production to improve the song's completeness.
In the chorus part, you can also find vocals and choreography that make use of the Call & Response point. In addition, Adam von Mentzer, who produced the debut album 'Lovin' Me', took part in the song with several talented foreign producers to maintain the color of the group while deliberation on expanding a new musical area.
Description (Original):
FIFTY FIFTY - The 1st Single [The Beginning: Cupid]깊은 음악성과 다채로운 이미지를 담은 데뷔앨범으로 호평받은 신인 피프티 피프티.
데뷔앨범 이후 100일 만에 첫 싱글앨범 [The Beginning: Cupid]로 컴백한다.
이번 앨범은 피프티 피프티 세계관의 첫 시작인 프리퀄로써, 새로운 시작을 마주한 네 소녀의 다층적인 내면을 보여준다. 더불어 자신들의 매력을 알지 못하는 천진한 소녀들의 순수하면서도 서툰 모습들을 설렘, 그리고 두려운 감정과 함께 솔직하게 담는다.
잘 해내고 싶은 마음과 뜻대로 되지 않는 현실의 괴리감. 그 불안한 상황에서 소녀들이 유일하게 의존할 존재, 큐피드. 큐피드는 불안한 심리 상태에서 마음속의 부적 같은 존재로, 소녀들에게 안도감을 주기도 하지만, 일이 잘 풀리지 않을 때는 원망을 불러일으키기도 한다.
수동적이었던 소녀들이 주체적으로 바뀌는 순간, 소녀들은 더 이상 큐피드를 필요로 하지 않는다. 이는 무의식적으로 의존하던 큐피드에서 벗어나, 두려움을 이기고 변화한다는 메시지를 담고 있다. 'Cupid'는 네 소녀의 성장 과정, 그 시작을 보여주는 노래이다.
'Cupid'는 샹송을 연상케 하는 레트로 풍 감성의 선율과 아련한 목소리가 곡의 곡의 서두를 알린다. 또한 미니멀한 디스코 비트와 펑키한 베이스라인을 기반으로 한 이곡은, 은은한 보컬과 패드의 조화를 통해 Cupid가 있는 세계로 한 걸음씩 안내한다. 코러스 파트 “I gave a second chance to Cupid”는
청량한 신스와 멜로디컬한 피아노 멜로디를 통해 경쾌하면서도 익살스러운 면을 보여준다. 달콤한 보컬은 러블리함을 한껏 뽐내고, 톡톡쏘는 랩 파트는 곡에 감칠맛을 더한다.
이번 싱글앨범에는 타이틀인 1번 트랙과, 영어 가사와 함께 색다른 믹스와 이지 리스닝에 초점을 둔 Twin 버전의 2번 트랙, 그리고 타이틀의 인스트루멜털까지 총 3개의 트랙이 수록되어 있다. 멤버 키나가 랩메이킹에 참여했으며, 새나 또한 포인트 안무 제작에 참여하여 곡의 완성도를 높였다.
후렴 파트에서는 Call & Response 포인트를 살린 보컬과 안무도 찾아볼 수 있다. 또한 데뷔앨범 'Lovin' Me'를 프로듀싱한 Adam von Mentzer가 여러 해외 실력파 프로듀서들과 함께 곡에 참여함으로써 그룹의 색을 유지하면서도 새로운 음악적 영역을 확장하는데 심의를 기울였다.
