Korean Entertainment: Perfect Cheating Life

Hot Post: [Somin's first solo album review]

Poster: Having your mask taken off by others is a failure, but taking off your own mask is a victory - Hugo.

After wearing the mask of a masquerade for too long, I don’t want to live in shackles anymore.

Somin chose to give it all up and finally took off her mask at her masquerade.

Original Poster: I dare say this is the most luxurious album among all Kpop albums.

All ten songs can really be used as hits. Except for three songs in Chinese, Korean and Japanese, the other songs are all in English, which shows Somin's ambition.

This album fully narrates her life growth line, maintaining a high degree of consistency from beginning to end, as if it is telling Somin's own life story.

The elements used throughout the album are very harmoniously matched.

Somin really likes to use instruments like piano, music box and violin.

The clear and pleasant piano, the romantic and soft guitar, and the rhythmic electronic music constitute the melody of almost all her singles.

"Masquerade" and "Yes & No" are the two main songs.

Two songs was a risky move, but it was clear that her talent made her successful.

The songs in her new album are arranged in a regular order, which is a gradual process. If you appreciate this album purely from the perspective of music and the audience, it will be even more shocking.

1. "Yes & No" - I have been dealing with myself for a long time, and I would rather be myself.

It is her resistance and struggle against self-cognition and rumors. The pink-haired girl raised her confused eyes and woke up from her slumber, but her soul still dared to fight against herself and the world.

[I like yes & no. I don’t have the answer you need because I keep myself neutral. ]

2. "Masquerade" - There is a mysterious and strange core in the brightness, and there is also a feeling of breaking free from the chaos and running towards the clouds and the sun.

When the violin sounded at the climax, the impending malice and oppression made people shudder.

She finally stopped listening to the outside world and found herself again.

The strings controlling the puppet broke, and the puppet turned back to its original self. The music was as grand as a celebration, and people couldn't help but cry for her.

[You must have heard rumors about me, but it doesn't matter. Because your opinion of me will also form new rumors. ]

From the MV images, we can feel that Somin’s strength comes from a life running towards freedom, and also from the elegance and strength flowing from deep in her heart.

3. "Droll" is weird, sarcastic and charming.

The melody and lyrics of Techno are just like the song title and fit the album title, like a clown wearing a false mask and stepping into a masquerade ball.

She has a falseness of innocence and sincerity, and sings the song crisply in a childish tone, with the lyrics punctuated by the rhythm of electronic music.

4. "Rain" is a Japanese song with a cheerful tune.

The dancing notes on the piano in the prelude express longing, and the coldness carries a sense of the passing years.

The water droplets on the music box percussion instruments feel like falling rain, with the refreshing feeling after the rain, and a sadness and regret that is not too heavy.

5. "Goodbye" Korean song.

It is a kind of relief to say goodbye to the past. The lyrics are regretful and sad. The voice as cool as mint and the powerful singing, coupled with the rising chords, give people a hope of starting over.

This song is probably the dividing line between Somin’s 18 years old and the past.

While summarizing her past youth, she also seemed to express her hopes for the future.

6. “Summer” Chinese song.

All the impulse and brilliance originated from that summer. A person's life is destined to have an unforgettable summer, and from then on all other days are just compared with it.

The guitar outlines a simple summer melody, coupled with a solid and meticulous arrangement. Somin abandons the gorgeous singing voice and simply speaks clearly and frankly.

After listening to the song, I just felt the cleanliness and freshness of summer, and all my tiredness and irritability were swept away.

7. Mine - People choose their favorite meanings from the poet's words. But the ultimate meaning of the poem is directed to you.

The music box has a heavy atmosphere, as if it is the stars in the humanistic and romantic universe, a unity of coolness and elegance, and the melody style and lyrics are low and uplifting.

It emphasizes both art and pop, the arrangement framework is very innovative and catchy, and the motive of the music box directly points to the vocal interpretation.

8. "Sunshine" is undoubtedly an inspirational song. Judging from the name, it may be more of a fan song.

It’s still the music box and piano, cleverly blended with electronic music.

The low prelude is as depressing as a deep dark tunnel, until the chorus, the melody begins to become bright and gentle, like the sunlight in the song title, which makes my heart suddenly open up.

As the princess quoted.

[I know I can get better, and sometimes I have to be brave, but it's never easy. Wanting to be brave is the key to my progress]

Just like the song, live your life well.

Shine brightly like the sunlight.

9. "Kiss or Kill" - The desire to kill and the desire to kill are intertwined, and love and hate grow and decline.

The lyrics are just like what Nietzsche said: I want to possess you alone and absolutely. Not only do I want to love alone, but I also want to be loved alone. Love is really a great selfishness.

This song is of a style that the princess has never come across before. Combined with the recent love theories... maybe she is really in love.

It feels decadent and a bit provocative, and is comfortable to listen to, but it does not prevent the song from being full of morbid control and possessiveness.

10. "THE SUN" is a collaboration between Princess and SUGA.

This song, which has been long awaited for a whole year, was finally released to the public in the SOLO album.

The two sound like mint and honey.

SUGA used extremely gentle lyrics to praise how dazzling the grown-up princess is. She is so beautiful in his eyes, and their friendship of many years is enviable.

[Confidence and strength made her shine, and she surprised, impressed, and brought tears to everyone’s eyes.]

--Weird, elegant, sad, morbid, contemptuous, arrogant, furious, jealous, lazy, greedy, so many emotions seem to come out in the whole album.

--What a cool princess, what a seductive style.

I didn’t have any feelings for Princess before, but the whole album touched my heart.

A fast-paced, dark and mysterious pop music, the rhythm and lyrics satisfy all my gorgeous and mysterious imaginations.

--I really love the violin in "Masquerade", such a beautiful song!

The melodious piano sound passed by and then became the main sound of the violin, with a few sounds of music box in between, and the ensemble at the end... It was so beautiful that I was speechless.

--Indeed, the theme of the masquerade ball is absolutely amazing, and the feeling of grand joy is at its maximum.

--《Kiss or Kill》, tipsy God! Princess, you are really an adult now!

--I prefer "Yes&No". The chorus is so cool. It feels free and easy, crazy, cool and seductive. I like the "Yes" read in succession. "Like yes" sounds like a kiss! This song is so charming.

--Somin showed her blood and tears with her album and talent in her first solo. She always looks relaxed and elegant on weekdays, but we all know her hard work and strength.

--Princess's album gives me a feeling that is just like her, always positive and strong.

The princess never disappoints her fans when she works.

--Her talent and expressiveness are always worthy of trust...her strength is the reason why she is always at the top.

--How can she sing so well? Her vocal range is so wide, and her transitions between low and high notes are perfect. She can sing sad songs, sweet songs, or cool songs.

--Not only can she sing...she is really versatile. In the behind-the-scenes footage, she played the violin by herself.

--The violin, piano, guitar, music box and other instruments were all made by her.

--envy her talent for music and instruments.

She plays the violin like it's a game, and I play the violin like it's a game.

--After listening to the album, I feel that creation is indeed based on inspiration and talent, and it is true that only you know yourself best and you can write songs that suit you best.

--My loser ex-boyfriend was also revealed to be in a relationship these days. How dare he do that? Damn it! If he had the talent of a princess and could write "Kiss or Kill", I would immediately become his fan again.

He doesn't have the abilities of a princess, and is even more princess-like than a princess. He deserves to be a failure.

……

Poster: Somin’s solo album is really a hit.

All of Somin's past experiences and preferences were finally combined into this album. You can find what she likes, what she cares about, and even some of her little habits in the album she made.

The reason why she can achieve such a popular result is not because of the song leading her, nor because of the person leading the song, but the perfect match that complements each other.

No one else can sing these songs in her style, because the rhythm of every note comes from her.
