“ | 'Drive' to find the shining me
First solo album [MY] filled with Miyeon itself (G)I-DLE's main vocal Miyeon will release her first solo album [MY] in April. Miyeon, who has been recognized for her cool and solid vocal skills through her drama OST and featuring, guides her into the world of Miyeon through her first album [MY]. Her first mini-album [MY] is an album filled with Miyeon itself as a double expression encompassing the abbreviation of Miyeon and the meaning of ‘I’. It is the story of Miyeon, who makes you smile when you look at it and conveys happiness just by being there. Her title song 'Drive', which goes well with her warm spring breeze, is a song that depicts us who do not lose the heart to keep moving forward without shaking while keeping her own color. It is also the promise of her solo artist Miyeon's new starting point, and contains a message of support to those of us who are firmly defending ourselves in the midst of her difficulties. Lyrics such as 'Run this city with your back to the gray world' and 'I want to go as far as I want for me', which remind me of a cool drive across the wind, can free me from everything that oppresses me talk about Although she is afraid, Miyeon's challenge of spreading her wings to take on a new challenge is endless. Also, in the song 'Rain', which was presented to Miyeon by Yuqi from (G)I-DLE, for the first time, she challenges her to become a lyricist, and vaguely depicts her unique sensibility. [MY] includes the rock genre title song 'Drive', where the guitar sound creates an emotional atmosphere, rhythmic 'Rose', 'Softly' with sweet and cute emotions, 'TE AMO', and experimental rhythm sounds. It consists of a total of six tracks, including the impressive 'Charging' and the ballad song 'Rain' with a beautiful guitar melody and emotional melody, which is enough to feel Miyeon's colorful emotions and charms. I hope it will be an album that will give you courage to move forward as if you are doing ‘Drive’, cheering for everyone’s new start and journey by borrowing Miyeon’s mini-her 1st album [MY].[1] |
