Description (Translated):
Gain's first solo album 'step 2/4'Ga-in of Brown Eyed Girls, who emerged as a hot issue in the music industry in 2009 with 'Abracadabra', 'Sign', 'Cheerful Dance', 'Smoky Makeup', and 'Adam Couple', will release her first solo album. Gain's solo album this time has the participation of producer Cho Young-cheol and the best staff who produced Brown Eyed Girls' 3rd album 〈Sound-G〉, dramatically upgrading Gain's existing image. Producer Cho Young-chul, who has been at the center of the issue by introducing somewhat experimental genres to the Korean pop music scene, in this Ga-in solo album, a bold attempt to make all the songs in the album only one genre, tango, which is classified as an unpopular genre, by interpreting it in a modern way. ventured The name of the album, 'step 2/4', is also an implicit expression of the 2/4 time signature, the basic rhythm of tango.
Ga-in's first solo title song, 'Irreversible', was created through a special collaboration between composer Yoon Sang, who is the most highly regarded by the public and critics among active Korean popular musicians, and composer Lee Min-soo, who has emerged as a hit maker in recent years. lost.
This song, with the performance of Sangji Koh, the best bandoneon player in Korea, the sophisticated codework unique to Yoonsang, and the high-quality melody and rhythm making of Lee Min-soo, is based on authentic tango but with heavy synthesizer sounds, and does not lose its trend sense. It is classified as 'electro fusion tango'. Although the song is dominated by a bandoneon sound with a strong timbre that drowns out most vocals, Ga-in has an attractive tone and excellent expressive power, so he completed the song by showing off his overwhelming singing ability. The lyrics in a unique style that stand out in the form of fingerprints in the movie were the work of lyricist Kim Eana, and led the drama of the song with strong words and sentences that maximize the fatal charm of the tango genre.
Description (Original):
가인의 첫 솔로 앨범 ‘step 2/4’2009년 ‘Abracadabra’, ‘Sign’, ‘시건방춤’, ‘스모키 메이크업’, ‘아담부부’ 등으로 가요계의 핫이슈로 떠오른 브라운아이드걸스의 가인이 첫 솔로 앨범을 발표한다. 이번 가인의 솔로 앨범은 브라운아이드걸스 3집 〈Sound-G〉를 제작한 조영철 프로듀서와 최고의 스텝들이 참여하여, 기존 가인의 이미지를 한 층 더 극적으로 업그레이드 시키고 있다. 다소 실험적인 장르들을 한국 대중음악계에 선보이며 이슈의 중심에 섰던 조영철 프로듀서는 이번 가인 솔로 앨범에서는 비대중적 장르로 분류되는 탱고라는 장르를 현대적으로 해석하여 앨범 전체 수록곡을 탱고라는 한가지 장르만으로 하는 과감한 시도를 감행했다. 앨범명인 ‘step 2/4’도 탱고의 기본 리듬인 2/4박자를 암시적으로 표현한 것이다.
가인의 첫 솔로 타이틀곡 '돌이킬 수 없는'은 현재 활동중인 한국 대중음악가들 중 대중과 평론단으로부터 가장 높은 평가를 받고 있는 작곡가 윤상과 근래 히트곡 메이커로 급부상한 이민수 작곡가의 특별한 공동작업을 통해 만들어졌다.
국내 최고의 반도네온 플레이어 고상지의 연주와 윤상 특유의 세련된 코드워크, 그리고 이민수의 완성도 높은 멜로디와 리듬메이킹 등이 더해진 이번 곡은, 정통 탱고를 베이스로 하되 묵직한 신디사이저 사운드 등이 더해지며 트렌드 감을 잃지 않은 ‘일렉트로 퓨전 탱고’로 분류된다. 웬만한 보컬을 묻히게 만들 만큼 음색이 강한 반도네온 사운드가 주가 되는 곡임에도 불구하고, 매력적인 음색과 뛰어난 표현력을 가진 가인인 만큼 이를 압도하는 가창력을 선보이며 곡을 완성해냈다. 영화 속 지문형식을 띄는 독특한 스타일의 가사는 작사가 김이나의 작품으로, 탱고장르가 가진 치명적인 매력을 최대한 살려내는 강한 단어와 문장들로 곡의 드라마를 이끌었다.
