Description (Translated):
A little, private story to the fans ::: IU Single [Spring at 20]IU returned to the fans with spring.
IU, who has continued active musical activities such as last year's full album [LAST FANTASY], showed her growth as a singer-songwriter, followed by a successful debut in Japan, and the news of holding her first national tour solo concert in Korea, which showed her confidence as a female solo artist, has released a new album. Through this, we present fresh music once again to the fans who have sent unchanging love and support.
The new single [Spring at 20] is IU's first album after turning 20, and it showcases IU's slightly private and candid inner sensibility, which has entered her 4th year of debut. This single by IU is in charge of general production by producer Jo Young-chul, and the country's top hit makers Park Geun-tae and composer Kim Do-hoon and lyricist Kim Eana participated, and composer Eun-ji Shim and lyricist Eun-soo Kim of JYP participated. turn off In addition, IU recorded her own songs to continue her appearance as a singer-songwriter.
[Spring at 20], which contains a total of three songs, announces a sweet start with IU's self-composed song 'Peach'. 'Peach', a love song full of the scent of spring that depicts the excitement of love, expresses the thrill of love at the beginning with acoustic sounds and emotions. The lyrics, which express the heartbreaking feeling of not knowing what to do with just looking at the lover you love, harmonize with the calm yet sweet melody, giving you the thrill of receiving a confession from IU. In addition, the recorder and triangle sounds played by IU harmonize with the song, adding to the girly sensibility.
The title song of [Spring at 20], 'End of the Day', is a collaboration between composer Park Geun-tae and composer Kim Do-hoon, and lyricist Kim Eana participates in the song, raising expectations. 'End of the Day' is a cheerful up-tempo song with a disco style reminiscent of old pop, and it is a song where you can meet IU's bright vocals, which are loved by fans a lot. 'End of the Day' depicts the heart of a woman who likes and expresses the other person a lot and wants them to come to her first, wanting them to know what comes next. It gives a pleasant thrill.
The last song, 'I hate her so much', is a collaboration between composer Shim Eun-ji and lyricist Kim Eun-soo. This R&B-style ballad song, as the title suggests, is a monologue-style song that expresses the feelings of resentment toward a man who does not let go of love through the eyes of a third person as the main character. The sound of the acoustic guitar that adds loneliness and IU's resigned vocal style harmonize to add to the mood of the song.
The warm month of May, [Spring at the age of 20], sung by IU, will come to us with warmth along with the bright sunlight.
Description (Original):
팬들에게 전하는 조금은, 사적인 이야기 ::: 아이유 싱글 [스무 살의 봄]아이유가 봄과 함께 팬들 곁으로 돌아왔다.
지난 해 정규앨범 [LAST FANTASY]로 싱어송라이터로의 성장을 보여주고, 이어진 성공적인 일본데뷔, 여성 솔로 아티스트로서의 자신감을 보여준 국내 첫 전국투어 단독콘서트 개최 소식 등 활발한 음악적 활동을 이어온 아이유가 새 앨범을 통해 변함없는 사랑과 응원을 보내준 팬들에게 다시 한번 싱그러운 음악을 선물한다.
새로운 싱글 [스무 살의 봄]은 아이유가 스무 살이 된 후 발표하는 첫 앨범으로, 데뷔 4년 차에 접어든 아이유의 조금은, 사적이고 솔직한 내면의 감성을 선보인다. 아이유의 이번 싱글은 조영철 프로듀서가 총괄 프로듀싱을 맡았으며, 더 이상 설명이 필요 없는 국내 최고의 히트메이커 박근태, 김도훈 작곡가와 김이나 작사가가 참여했으며, JYP 소속의 심은지 작곡가, 김은수 작사가가 참여해 눈길을 끈다. 더불어 아이유가 자작곡을 수록해 싱어송라이터로의 면모를 이어간다.
총 3곡이 수록된 [스무 살의 봄]은 아이유의 자작곡인 ‘복숭아’로 달콤한 시작을 알린다. 사랑의 설렘을 그린 봄 향기 가득한 러브송 ‘복숭아’는 사랑이 시작될 때의 설렘을 어쿠스틱한 사운드와 감성으로 표현한 곡으로, 풋풋하고 소녀적인 아이유의 감성이 잘 표현된 곡이다. 사랑하는 연인을 바라보는 것만으로도 좋아서 어쩔 줄 몰라하는 애틋한 마음이 표현된 가사는 잔잔하면서도 달콤한 멜로디와 함께 어우러져 아이유에게 고백을 받는 듯한 설렘을 안겨준다. 또한, 아이유가 직접 연주한 리코더와 트라이앵글 소리는 곡과 어우러져 소녀감성을 더한다.
[스무 살의 봄]의 타이틀곡인 ‘하루 끝’은 박근태 작곡가와 김도훈 작곡가의 합작품으로 김이나 작사가가 함께 곡 작업에 참여해 기대를 더한다. ‘하루 끝’은 올드팝을 연상시키는 디스코풍의 경쾌한 업템포곡으로, 팬들의 많은 사랑을 받고 있는 아이유의 밝은 보컬을 만나볼 수 있는 곡이다. 상대방을 많이 좋아하고 표현하면서 그 다음을 알아주기를 바라는, 먼저 다가와주기를 바라는 여자의 마음을 그린 ‘하루 끝’은 화려한 스케일의 스트링이 인상적인 사운드와 아이유의 청명하고 밝은 보컬이 어우러지며 듣는 이에게 기분 좋은 설렘을 안겨준다.
마지막 곡인 ‘그 애 참 싫다’는 심은지 작곡가와 김은수 작사가의 합작품으로, 그 동안 선보였던 곡들과는 다른 스타일을 만나볼 수 있는 곡이다. R&B 스타일의 발라드곡인 이 곡은 제목에서 알 수 있듯이 제 3자를 주인공으로 한 시선으로 지나간 사랑을 놓지 못하고 자신을 바라봐주지 않는 남자를 원망하는 마음을 독백형식으로 풀어낸 가사가 인상적인 곡이다. 쓸쓸함을 더하는 어쿠스틱 기타의 사운드와 체념한 듯한 아이유의 보컬 스타일이 어우러져 곡의 분위기를 더한다.
따스한 오월, 아이유가 노래하는 [스무 살의 봄]은 밝은 햇살과 함께 우리에게 따뜻함으로 다가올 것이다.
