Description (Translated):
LA POEM Single Album [THE WAR]The new single 'THE WAR' is a new song released by La Poem after about 9 months. As it is the first album released after signing an exclusive contract with Studio Jam, music fans are highly anticipating it.
'THE WAR' is an album like a message of victory to those who are living in the battle field of hard life day by day. Just as the sun rises only after the darkness of dawn is the thickest, it contains the meaning of life that it will finally rise like the red sun after passing through the most painful moments.
The title song 'The War' tells the story of a life of persevering for the joy of victory even when you want to give up everything. It starts with a calm string and guitar sound, followed by a melody that gradually escalates toward the chorus, followed by a powerful drum sound. In particular, members Yoo Chae-hoon and Choi Seong-hoon directly participated in writing the lyrics, adding to the sincerity of the song.
Here, through this album, La Poem takes aim at the hearts of music fans with its polar opposite charm. The b-side song 'Sunrise', which contrasts with 'The War', is a healing ballad written and composed by Kim Hee-won, who composed IU's 'Night Letter', and La Poem's delicate and emotional tone catches your ears.
In addition, La Poem actively expressed opinions on various aspects of the album, such as content and visuals, as well as music, completing an album with higher participation than ever before.

'Sunrise' is a song that conveys support and comfort that everyone who is going through dark moments will someday shine, just as the sun rises in the morning without fail every day. You can see the members' delicate and emotional voices and beautiful harmony at the same time. The dynamic arrangement that proceeds according to the flow of the song increases the concentration and presents a piece of drama. Like the lyrics, it contains the hope that La Poem's voice can be a source of encouragement to everyone passing through the night and dawn.
Description (Original):
라포엠(LA POEM) Single Album [THE WAR]새 싱글 'THE WAR'는 라포엠이 약 9개월 만에 발표하는 신보다. 스튜디오 잼과 전속계약을 체결한 후 처음으로 선보인 앨범인 만큼 음악 팬들의 많은 기대를 모으고 있다.
'THE WAR'는 하루하루 고된 삶의 전쟁터 속에서 살아 나가고 있는 이들에게 전하는 승전보와 같은 앨범이다. 새벽의 어둠이 가장 짙어진 뒤에야 비로소 태양이 떠오르듯, 가장 고통스러운 순간을 지나 마침내 붉은 해처럼 떠오르리라는 인생의 의미를 담았다.
타이틀곡 'The War'는 모든 것을 포기하고 싶은 상황에서도 승리의 환희를 위해 꿋꿋이 나아가는 삶을 이야기한다. 잔잔한 스트링과 기타 사운드로 시작되다가 후렴을 향해 점차 고조되는 멜로디 뒤에 이어지는 강력한 드럼사운드가 돋보이는 곡이다. 특히 멤버 유채훈, 최성훈이 직접 작사에 참여해 곡의 진정성을 더했다.
여기에 라포엠은 이번 앨범을 통해 극과 극의 매력으로 음악 팬들의 마음을 정조준한다. 'The War'와 상반된 분위기인 수록곡 'Sunrise'는 아이유 '밤편지'를 작곡한 김희원이 작사-작곡한 힐링 발라드로, 라포엠의 섬세하고 감성적인 음색이 귀를 사로잡는다.
이밖에도 라포엠은 음악뿐만 아니라 콘텐츠, 비주얼 등 앨범 다방면에 적극적으로 의견을 내며 그 어느 때보다 참여도 높은 앨범을 완성시켰다.

'Sunrise'는 매일 어김없이 아침 해가 떠오르듯, 어두운 순간들을 겪고 있는 모든 이들에게도 언젠가 빛이 들 것이라는 응원과 위로를 전하는 곡이다. 멤버들의 섬세하고 감성적인 음색과 아름다운 하모니를 동시에 만나볼 수 있다. 곡의 흐름에 따라 진행되는 역동적인 편곡이 집중도를 높이며 한 편의 드라마를 선사한다. 가사처럼 밤과 새벽을 지나고 있는 모두에게 라포엠의 목소리가 응원이 될 수 있길 바라는 마음을 담았다.
