Description (Translated):
The renewed EXID is back with their 3rd mini album < Eclipse >.<Eclipse>, which means solar eclipse and lunar eclipse, is an album that expresses EXID, which has changed into a new look, by comparing it to a solar eclipse and a lunar eclipse, boldly breaking away from the existing image of EXID, which has been shown from top to bottom and LIE.
The 5-member EXID is reconstructed into a 4-member group due to member Solji's vacancy, and it is hidden for a while like a lunar eclipse, but it contains the double meaning that eventually it will shine again as a whole.
The changes introduced through this album go beyond simple genre changes, and also show musical changes of each member.
Through this, it is not a form to fill the vacancy of Solji, but a meaningful result that has been completed by focusing on new expectations through change.
It is regrettable that member Solji is empty, but through this mini-album, it seems that we can expect a new look of EXID, including Solji, in the next album.
1.Boy
This song, in the form of an interlude of the title song 'Night rather than Day', is progressed using the vocalist Boy. It is a trip hop genre song with an outstanding lead synth line.
The lyrics that well express the feelings of being left alone at night are impressive.
2. Night rather than day
The title song of the mini-album Eclipse, 'Night rather than Day', is an Up Tempo R&B song with sympathetic lyrics and rhythmic melody.
Each member's voice color and singing method are clearly distinguished, so each individual's personality is well revealed. 'Night Rather than Day' creates a unique atmosphere with a combination of modern and vintage sounds.
The lyrics, which say that a leisurely night is better than a busy and hectic daytime, evoke sympathy for all modern people who live a busy and uneasy life.
It's not fast, but it's exciting, and it's not high-pitched, but it's a paradoxical feeling that expresses the new EXID.
3. How Why
How Why is an EDM genre song with sensible lyrics and a unique composition.
It contains the content that if you are going to go, go with the question "How? Why?"
This song, which stands out with a drop, a typical composition of EDM, is impressive with its chorus, which is a reinterpretation of the buzzword “you go to Hawaii,” from the movie “Friend.”
4. Milk (Hani SOLO)
Hani's new solo song 'Milk', which showed a unique voice and charming bass through the song 'Hello' from The King of Mask Singer and the regular album <STREET>, was released in advance through an online promotion and raised expectations.
'Milk' is an extension of the song 'Hello' from the last album, and it is a song that arouses curiosity about the next story as the next story unfolds. It is an Urban R&B genre, and it gives a more developed feeling by adding bold ad-libs to the mid-bass that was shown in the previous work 'Hello'.
5. Velvet (LE SOLO)
EXID's producer LE's solo song 'Velvet' is a trendy song of the Trap genre.
Although they showed a lot of musical ability by showing rap, lyricist, and composition skills that stand out among girl groups, their future steps are more anticipated as they recorded a solo song for the first time in this mini-album.
Description (Original):
새로워진 EXID가 세 번째 미니앨범 < Eclipse >로 돌아왔다.일식, 월식을 뜻하는 < Eclipse >는 위아래부터 L.I.E까지 보여준 EXID의 기존 이미지를 과감히 탈피하여, 새로운 모습으로 변화한 EXID를 일식과 월식에 비유하여 표현한 앨범이다.
5인조의 EXID가 멤버 솔지의 빈자리로 인해 4인조로 재구성돼 월식처럼 잠시 가려지지만, 결국 다시 완전체로 빛을 발할 것이라는 이중적 의미를 담고 있다.
이번 앨범을 통해 선보이는 변화는 단순히 장르적 변화를 넘어서 각 멤버들의 음악적 변화도 선보이고 있다.
이를 통해 솔지의 빈자리를 채우는 형태가 아닌, 변화를 통한 새로운 기대감에 초점을 맞추어 완성된 의미 있는 결과물을 선보인다.
멤버 솔지의 빈자리가 아쉽지만 이번 미니앨범을 통해 다음 앨범에는 솔지를 포함한 완전체 EXID의 새로워진 모습도 기대할 수 있을 것으로 보인다.
1. Boy
타이틀곡인 ‘낮보다는 밤’의 인터루드 형태의 이 곡은 Boy라는 보컬을 활용하여 진행된다. 리드 신스라인이 돋보이는 Trip Hop 장르 곡으로, 멤버들의 보이스와 감정전달에 초점을 맞추어 간결한 사운드로 전개된다.
밤이 되어 혼자 남았을 때의 심경을 잘 표현한 가사가 인상적이다.
2. 낮보다는 밤
미니앨범 Eclipse의 타이틀곡인 ‘낮보다는 밤’은 공감되는 가사와 리드미컬한 멜로디가 돋보이는 업템포알앤비(Up Tempo R&B) 곡이다.
각 멤버들의 보이스 색깔과 창법이 확실히 구분되어 각각의 개성이 잘 드러나 있는 ‘낮보다는 밤’은 현대적인 사운드와 빈티지 사운드가 어우러져 독특한 분위기를 자아낸다.
바쁘고 정신 없는 낮보다 여유롭게 시간을 보낼 수 있는 밤이 더 좋다는 내용의 가사는 바쁘게 돌아가며 여유롭지 못한 삶을 사는 현대의 모든 이들에게 공감을 불러 일으킨다.
빠르진 않지만 신나고, 높은 음은 아니지만 시원하다는 역설적인 느낌이 드는 이 곡은 새로워진 EXID를 표현하는 곡이다.
3. How Why
How Why 는 센스 있는 가사와 독특한 구성이 돋보이는 EDM 장르의 곡이다.
마음은 이미 떠났지만 이별하자는 말을 꺼내지 못하고 이별을 유도하는 남자에게 "어떻게? 왜?"라는 의문으로, 갈 거면 네가 가라는 내용을 담고 있다.
EDM의 전형적인 구성인 드랍(Drop)이 돋보이는 이 곡은 영화 ‘친구’의 유행어인 “니가 가라 하와이”를 재해석해 표현한 후렴구가 인상적이다.
4. 우유 (하니 SOLO)
복면가왕과 정규앨범 < STREET >의 수록곡 'Hello'를 통해 독특한 보이스와 매력적인 중저음을 보여준 하니의 새로운 솔로곡 '우유'는 온라인 프로모션을 통해 사전에 공개되어 기대감을 자아낸 곡이다.
‘우유’는 지난 앨범의 수록곡 ‘Hello’의 연장선상으로, 다음 이야기가 전개되어 또 다음 이야기의 궁금증을 자아내는 곡이다. 어반알앤비(Urban R&B) 장르로, 전작 ‘Hello’에서 보여줬던 중저음에 과감한 애드립이 더해져 한층 발전된 느낌을 준다.
5. Velvet (LE SOLO)
EXID의 프로듀서 LE의 솔로곡인 ‘Velvet’은 Trap 장르의 트랜디한 곡이다.
걸그룹 중 단연 돋보이는 랩과 작사, 작곡 능력을 선보이며 많은 음악적 역량을 보여주었지만, 이번 미니앨범에서 처음으로 솔로곡을 수록해 앞으로의 행보가 더욱 기대된다.

Perfecto
A must for fans of music in general wanting to branch out musical tastes
Amazing quality, a must have for any Leggo, they all look so pretty its stunning
This min-album is truly excellent. Despite the unfortunate absence of Solji, the rest of EXID have produced a mini-album that represents a major step forward for the band. Every song is different and each one in its own way surprising and exciting. The differences between the individual voices of each of the members are used to great effect here. This is, not only, because of the 2 very good solo tracks on the mini-album, which feature Hani (Milk) and LE (Velvet) respectively, but also, because of the room given to each of the members to excel in their parts on the other songs, especially on Boy and Night Rather Than Day. Those distinctive voices also harmonise together exceptionally well - the chorus of Night Rather Than Day being a perfect example.Night Rather Than Day with its funk and jazz influences is the obvious single, but each track is easily capable of being a favourite. Sometimes, I favour Hani's mellifluous vocals on the ballad Milk; at other times, LE's sensual rendition of her song Velvet, which manages somehow to be both rapping and singing; and, at yet other times, I want most to hear the individual parts building up to the electronic chorus and the wonderful harmonies towards the end of the song on Boy. How Why is probably my least favourite track, but I am still fascinated and enthused by the way it incorporates and uses changes of rhythm.The overwhelming impression is that EXID have discovered their own especially distinctive voice here. Much of the credit must go to LE who had a hand in the writing of 4 of the 5 songs. However, its also a credit to the label that the group has been allowed to experiment and to defy both convention and fan expectation. My only complaint with the record would be that its only a mini-album of 5 songs. Hearing them leaves me awaiting their next album with great expectation.
