Description (Translated):
Ben returns as a ballad,3rd mini album [Soulmate]
Let's meet Ben, who has come back more musically mature with his self-composed song 'How are you'!
Luxury vocal Ben, who is known as the 'Little Giant' in the music industry for his elegant tone and mournful voice, is back with the ballad title 'Because It's the Last'.
Ben's third mini-album 'Soulmate' is a ballad album that stands out with Ben's unique elegance, delicate yet deep appeal, which is the exact opposite of the previously released dance title 'Ruby Lou'.
The title song 'Because It's the Last' was written, composed, and arranged by Lim Se-joon of R&B Soul Voice, as well as a duet.
With a warm sensibility unique to the 90s, 'Because It's the Last' was born as a heart-wrenching ballad song with Ben and Lim Se-joon's unique mournful voices forming an ensemble.
In addition to 'Because It's Your Last', this mini-album contains the song 'How are you' co-composed with Sejun Lim, and the original song 'When Will You Become a Human'.
Also, the acoustic song 'Kikiki' is perfect for Ben's bubbly charm and adds to the fun of listening to the album.
This album, which contains a total of 8 tracks including Ben's self-composed song 'How are you', is an album that shows Ben's more mature musical side.
[track description]
1. Kikiki (With MIIII)
Lyricist: MIIII / Composer: MIIII / Arranger: Yoon Tae-woong / Guitar: Jeong Su-wan / EP: Jo Seong-gwang / Computer Programming: Yoon Tae-woong / Chorus: MIIII, Ben
It is a duet between Ben and Me with an impressive bright melody on an acoustic guitar sound.
About three years ago, Ben and Mi talked about themselves, and it was a song that contained the joys and sorrows of a short person and a tall person.
2.Because it's the last time (With Lim Sejun)
Lyricist: Im Sejun / Composer: Im Sejun / Arrangement: Im Sejun / Guitar: Jeong Suwan / Computer Programming: Im Sejun / Piano: Im Sejun / Chorus: Im Sejun, Ben
It is a heartbreaking emotional ballad song with a warm sound unique to the 90s and the voices of Ben and Lim Se-joon that express sad emotions more abundantly.
I know it's the last time, but I hope it won't be the end... It's a song that contains the feeling of not being able to even express it in fear even though I know that love has changed before I knew it.
It is an emotional ballad song written by singer-songwriter Lim Se-joon for Ben.
3. How are you
Lyricist: Lee Soo-bin / Composers: Lim Se-joon, Ben / Arrangers: Bae Gi-pil / Piano: Bae Ji-pil / Chorus: Lim Se-jun, Ben
The song is composed so that Ben's voice can be concentrated with minimal instruments, and Ben's voice overlaid on the piano melody maximizes the pain of parting. It is a ballad song.
'Will the ex-lover grieve like me?' The lyrics, which contain questions that everyone would have wondered about at least once after a breakup, blend with Ben's sad voice to easily draw empathy.
This song was co-composed by Ben and Lim Se-joon, and you can see Ben's musical appearance that has grown even further.
4. When will I become a person (Subtitle: Lady and the Scoundrels)
Lyricists: Yoon Min-soo, Min Yeon-jae / Composer: Yoon Min-soo / Arranger: KingMing
Ben's solo song released last February, unlike the stimulating lyrics, is a song that sincerely expresses his heart for his boyfriend who has not matured.
In order to revive the feelings of a woman who loved a rough man, with the story of her girlfriend's complaints and worries about her brother who enjoyed drinking and smoking too much, her unorganized appearance and crude tone, but she lived through it because she loved her. It is a song filled with extremely realistic lyrics.
Description (Original):
발라드로 돌아온 벤,세 번째 미니 앨범 [Soulmate]
자작곡 '넌 어때' 선보이며 한층 더 음악적으로 성숙해져 돌아온 벤을 만나보자!
청아한 음색과 애절한 보이스로 가요계 '작은 거인'으로 불리는 명품 보컬 벤이 발라드 타이틀 '마지막이니까'로 돌아왔다.
벤의 세 번째 미니앨범 '소울메이트(Soulmate)'는 앞서 발매된 댄스 타이틀 '루비루'와는 정반대인 벤 특유의 청아하고 섬세하면서도 짙은 호소력이 돋보이는 발라드 앨범이다.
타이틀곡 '마지막이니까'는 R&B 소울 보이스의 임세준이 작사, 작곡, 편곡뿐 아니라, 듀엣으로도 참여했다.
90년대 특유의 따뜻한 감성을 지닌 '마지막이니까'는 벤, 임세준 특유의 애절한 보이스가 앙상블을 이뤄 가슴 저미는 발라드 곡으로 탄생했다.
이번 미니앨범에는 '마지막이니까'와 더불어 임세준과 공동 작곡한 곡 '넌 어때'와 기발매곡 '언제 사람 될래' 등이 담겨있다.
또한 어쿠스틱 곡 '키키키'는 통통 튀는 매력의 벤에게 딱 맞는 곡으로 앨범에 듣는 재미를 더하고 있다.
벤의 자작곡 '넌 어때'를 비롯 총 8곡의 트랙이 담겨 있는 이번 앨범은 음악적으로 한층 더 성숙해진 벤의 면모를 보여주는 앨범이다.
[트랙 설명]
1.키키키 (With MIIII)
작사: 미(MIIII) / 작곡: 미(MIIII) / 편곡: 윤태웅 / Guitar: 정수완 / EP: 조성광 / Computer Programming: 윤태웅 / Chorus: 미(MIIII), 벤
어쿠스틱 기타 사운드에 밝은 멜로디가 인상적인 벤과 미의 듀엣 곡이다.
약 3년 전 벤과 미가 자신들을 얘기를 담아, 키 작은 사람의 애환과 키 큰 사람의 애환을 담은 곡으로 즉석에서 만들어 유튜브에 올려 이슈된 곡이다.
2.마지막이니까 (With 임세준)
작사: 임세준 / 작곡: 임세준 / 편곡: 임세준 / Guitar: 정수완 / Computer Programming: 임세준 / Piano: 임세준 / Chorus: 임세준, 벤
90년대 특유의 따뜻한 사운드와 벤, 임세준의 보이스가 슬픈 감성을 더욱 풍부하게 표현해낸 가슴 저미는 감성 발라드 곡이다.
마지막인 줄 알면서도 끝이 아니길 바라는... 어느샌가 변해버린 사랑을 알게 됐지만 두려움에 내색조차 하지 못하는 심정을 담은 곡이다.
싱어송라이터 임세준이 벤을 위해 작업한 감성 발라드 곡이다.
3.넌 어때
작사: 이수빈 / 작곡: 임세준, 벤 / 편곡: 배기필 / Piano: 배기필 / Chorus: 임세준, 벤
최소한의 악기로 벤의 목소리가 집중될 수 있도록 곡을 구성, 피아노 선율에 얹혀진 벤의 목소리가 곡의 이별의 아픔을 극대화해 표현한 발라드 곡이다.
'헤어진 연인도 나처럼 슬퍼할까?' 이별 후 누구나 한 번쯤 궁금해해봤을 물음을 담은 가사가 벤의 슬픈 목소리와 어우러져 쉽게 공감을 이끌어낸다.
이 곡은 벤과 임세준이 공동 작곡한 곡으로 한층 더 성장한 벤의 음악적 모습을 볼 수 있다.
4.언제 사람 될래 (부제: 아가씨와 건달들)
작사: 윤민수, 민연재 / 작곡: 윤민수 / 편곡: KingMing
지난 2월 발매된 벤의 솔로 곡으로 자극적인 가사와는 달리 철들지 않은 남자친구를 위하는 마음을 진정성 있게 노래로 표현한 곡이다.
술과 담배를 너무 즐겼던 오빠에게 했던 여자친구의 투정과 걱정, 정돈되지 않은 촌스러운 외모와 투박한 말투, 그렇지만 사랑하기에 참고 살았던 이야기로 거칠었던 한 남자를 사랑했던 여자가 느낀 감정을 있는 그대로 살려내기 위해 지극 사실적인 가사들로 채워진 곡이다.
