Description (Translated):
A message from nine youths who live intensely like a noir movieNOIR 1st Mini album [Twenty's NOIR]
Why is it “noir”? “Noir” means “black” in French.
"BLACK" is a very good color to describe Noir, a 9-member male idol group that is unfamiliar to the public.
As can be seen from the classification of cinematic genres familiar to us, noir is not a word that can be simply explained.
It is understandable to some extent when listening to their first debut mini-album, why noir, a genre signifier expressing dreamy, dark and passionate emotions in the midst of various genre elements, is their team name.
As if mixing paints of many colors eventually turns them into darker colors, Noir's first debut mini-album, which claims to be black, ironically contains songs of very diverse colors.
Numerous genres such as FutureBass, HipHop, Moombahton, R&B, Soul, and Electro Dance are mixed and mixed, and the musical capabilities of the noir members who have been honed over many years stand out.
This album contains the reason why we should keep an eye on their progress in expressing the various emotional flows that make up youth in the color “noir” by mobilizing all senses, including sight and hearing.
1. Introduction
It is the first track of this work that contains the sound color of the entire album. It is an instrumental track that feels the energy of the noir members who start energetically with the cheers of the audience.
2. GANGSTA
The title song of this debut album, GANGSTA, is a Moombahton Electronic dance song that expresses the moment when a boy wants to monopolize a girl's heart in a witty yet masculine manner. It is a track that possesses various charms, from string music to emotional vocal parts topped with a rapidly changing beat.
Another song that shows off the musical capabilities of the singer-songwriting group “Mio,” who has continued emotional works in albums by Super Junior, GFriend, and Kim Dong-wan (Shinhwa), and the highly advanced choreography perfectly fitting to the magnificent beat is also a point of appreciation. to be.
3. Bewitched
While the intense 808 sound dominates the first half of the song, FutureBass elements rush into the middle and latter half of the song, stimulating the listener. It is a song that shows the trendy style of noir.
The song was produced by Hulk, a member of the singer-songwriter group Mio. The sensible lyrics stand out throughout the rap and vocal parts, and the addictive synth sound and emotional vocals are in exquisite harmony.
4. Travel
It is a future R&B track with lyrics that compare the process of love to a journey, with a dark melody of black music.
It is a collaboration between Space One, a production team that is raising its share price by participating in songs by hot artists such as Cheetah and Superbee, and Iron Man, a member of Mio.
5. Meanwhile
It is a trap R&B song based on chill-out that stands out with the mournful vocals and emotional rapping of the Noir members. It is a song that achieves the best synergy with a passionate high-pitched part and an urban beat.
The lyrics that realistically depict the process of ending love and the emotional side of noir, which has achieved a visible song, are the points of appreciation for this track.
6. Become a star
It is a song that expresses the words and aspirations for the future that the nine members of Noir have kept in their hearts since they were trainees, and you can feel the hearts of the Noir members who are excited about the stage.
This song was pre-released through the pre-debut reality show “Action Noir” and is loved by many fans, so it was included as the last track of this album.
Description (Original):
마치 한편의 느와르 무비같이 격렬히 살아가는 아홉 청춘들의 메시지NOIR 1st Mini album [Twenty's NOIR]
왜 하필 “느와르” 일까. “Noir” 는 프랑스어로 “검은” 이라는 의미를 지니고 있다.
대중들에게 생소한 남성9인조 아이돌 그룹 느와르를 설명하기에 참 좋은 색깔 "BLACK".
우리에게 익숙한 영화적 장르 구분에서도 알 수 있듯이, 느와르는 단순하게 설명할 수 있는 단어가 아니다.
다양한 장르적 요소들이 혼재 하는 가운데 몽환적이고 어두우며 격정적인 정서를 표출해내는 장르의 표식어인 느와르가 그들의 팀명인 이유는 그들의 첫 데뷔 미니앨범을 들어보면 어느정도 납득이 가능하다.
많은 색의 물감을 섞다 보면 결국 점점 어두운 색으로 변모하듯, 블랙을 표방하는 느와르의 첫 데뷔 미니앨범에는 아이러니 하게도 매우 다양한 색채의 곡들이 섞여 있다.
FutureBass, HipHop, Moombahton, R&B, Soul, Electro Dance 등 수많은 장르가 혼합되어 버무려 지는 가운데 다년간 다져진 느와르 멤버들의 음악적 역량이 돋보인다.
시각, 청각을 포함 모든 감각을 동원해 청춘을 구성하는 다양한 감정의 흐름들을 “느와르” 라는 색으로 표현해낸 그들의 행보를 눈 여겨 보아야 하는 이유가 본 음반에 담겨져 있다.
1. Intro
전체적인 음반이 지닌 사운드적 색채를 담고 있는 본작의 첫번째 트랙으로 관객의 환호와 함께 힘차게 시작하는 느와르 멤버들의 기운이 느껴지는 인스트루멘탈 트랙이다.
2. GANGSTA
이번 데뷔 앨범의 타이틀곡인 GANGSTA 는 소년이 소녀의 마음을 독차지하고 싶은 순간을 재치있으면서도 남성미 넘치게 풀어낸 Moombahton Electronic dance 곡으로, 강렬한 블랙이 느껴지는 일렉 사운드 요소들과 느와르 멤버들의 거친 랩핑에 이어 어쿠스틱 피아노와 현악, 급변하는 비트감에 얹어진 감성적인 보컬파트 까지, 다양한 매력을 소유한 트랙이다.
슈퍼주니어, 여자친구, 김동완(신화) 등의 앨범에서 감성적 느낌의 작업물을 이어온 싱어송라이팅 그룹 “미오”의 또 다른 음악적 역량이 돋보이는 곡이며 웅장한 비트에 완벽하게 피팅된 고난도의 안무 또한 감상 포인트이다.
3. 홀린다
강렬한 808 사운드가 곡의 전반을 지배하는 와중에 FutureBass 요소들이 곡의 중후반에 몰아치며 듣는 이를 자극하는 트랙으로 느와르의 트렌디한 스타일을 엿볼 수 있는 곡이다.
싱어송라이터 그룹 미오의 멤버 헐크가 프로듀싱을 맡은 곡으로, 랩과 보컬 파트 전반에서 센스있는 가삿말이 돋보이며 강한 중독성의 신스사운드와 감성미 넘치는 보컬이 절묘한 조화를 이루고 있다.
4. Travel
사랑의 과정을 여행에 비유한 가삿말이 흑인음악의 색이 짙은 멜로디에 얹어진 Future R&B 트랙으로 느와르 보컬 멤버들의 귀여운 섹시미(?)를 엿볼 수 있는 곡이다.
치타, 슈퍼비 등 핫한 아티스트들의 곡에 참여해 주가를 올리고 있는 프로듀싱팀 Space one 과 미오의 멤버 아이언맨이 협력한 트랙으로 얼반사운드와 엔틱한 탑라인이 절묘한 조화를 이룬 곡이다.
5. 그사이에
느와르 멤버들의 애절한 보컬과 감성적인 랩핑이 돋보이는 칠아웃 기반의 트랩알엔비 곡으로, 격정적 고음 파트와 Urban 한 비트감이 어우러져 최고의 시너지를 이룬 곡이다.
사랑을 끝내는 과정을 현실적으로 그려낸 가삿말과 보이는 듯한 가창을 해낸 느와르의 감성적인 면이 본 트랙의 감상 포인트이다.
6. 별이 되어서
느와르의 아홉 멤버들이 연습생 시절부터 마음속에 담아둔 말들과 미래에 대한 포부를 그대로 음악으로 그려낸 곡으로, 무대를 향한 가슴 벅찬 느와르 멤버들의 마음을 느낄수 있다.
프리데뷰 리얼리티 “액션 느와르” 를 통해 선공개된 곡으로 많은 팬들이 애정하는 곡이라 본 앨범의 마지막 트랙으로 수록하였다.
