Description
“Tell me, your B.”
Billlie, who is in the limelight as a unique storytelling idol of the 4th generation, made a comeback with her third mini-album [the Billage of perception: chapter two].
With his solid skills, Billy released his debut album [the Billage of perception: chapter one] in November of last year about the 'mysterious story of a girl named Billie Love disappearing on a purple rain day on the 11th'. announced the prelude to the epic story that contained the story of Billy's gaze. In the [the collective soul and unconscious] series released last December and February, various stories experienced in reality were explained through the medium of dreams and unconsciousness, and one narrative was realized in two storytelling methods. All contents presented by Billy were connected in a structured way through one story, and it was recognized as a 'new attempt in the K-POP scene' with a unique narrative in which reality and fantasy coexist, and many favorable comments continued.
The 2nd mini album received a lot of love, ranking at the top of many global charts such as iTunes, Billboard, and Oricon charts. The title song 'GingaMingaYo (the strange world)' was selected as the best K-pop song in 'The Best K-Pop Songs and Albums of 2022' announced by Time Magazine in June, Standing shoulder to shoulder with artists, they are loved as storytelling idols based on high-quality music and narratives that represent Korea.
The third mini-album [the Billage of perception: chapter two], which is a series following the debut album, is also an album that shows off Billy's pride in his outstanding musical abilities. Billy, who has deeply inspired people who enjoy Billy's music and stories through new and various artistic attempts for each work released, breaks the limits of the genre called Hard Rock through the title song 'RING ma Bell (what a wonderful world)' Billy is once again proving his ability by capturing both the story and his skills with a real band sound that is overly addictive and gives a heart-rending sense of liberation.
In addition to the title song, this album, in which representative domestic and foreign producers and lyricists participated, such as Mayu Wakisaka, DEEZ, YUNSU, SAAY, Minji Sean, Kim Yeon-seo, Anna Timgren, and Le'mon, participated in this album. A huge plot that is connected to all the works as one is pop art writer Regina Kim, director Hong Won-ki of 'Urban Ghost Story', writer Jo Yoon-young of 'Moon Lovers - Scarlet Heart Ryeo', and Melomance Jung Dong-hwan. We are building solidly together through collaboration.
“Today, 11 summers have passed since I erased that child. In the farthest room of memory, <World> called us. That the beautiful, enjoyable, foolish moments would disappear. Declaration of the end of the war that the <world> in which Billy is buried is collapsing. And, the howling of memories that had stopped began again.”
From 'the end of the world and awakening'
Through [the Billage of Perception: Chapter Two], which is the serial form of his debut album, Billy summons the concrete aspects of Billy Love, which were mentioned in his previous work, from the past and gathers fragments of memories from the present point of view, not imagination. In the music video with the concept of a sequence connected with a story film that shows each person's childhood as they were most themselves, the Billy members stop at a certain moment in the process of going from children to teenagers to adults.
Perhaps becoming an adult is not an instant, but rather a continuation of a large process created through various events and time. heard and expressed.
“Retrograde in time. passage of light. manifestation of the shadows. The world is destroyed, and the mature me is born. Old promises are reborn as new vows. you wait there I will go find you.”
[Siyoon: Find the lost photo and grab it. Young Billy is clearly pictured.]
From 'the end of the world and awakening'
01. my B = the Birth of emotion
Composed by Mayu Wakisaka, pdly, Yoon Jong-seong (MonoTree)
Lyrics by LLANO
Arranged by pdly, Yoon Jong-seong (MonoTree)
“I think the various memories we have are creating my various emotions. The memories that remain in my head create many colors of emotions... I wonder if these emotions created by feeling my childhood memories and feelings disappear are sad, afraid, or happy... I'm not sure what it is.”
The progressvice synth pop number 'my B = the Birth of emotion', which stands out with a psychedelic synth phrase, is the opening song that announces the start of this work. Fragments of memories created since childhood create various emotions I feel now, and the emotions I feel between me in the past and myself in the present are solved with elaborate arrangements.
02. B'rave ~ a song for Matilda
Composed by DEEZ (SOULTRiii), YUNSU (SOULTRiii), SAAY (SOULTRiii)
Lyrics by Le'mon, SAAY (SOULTRiii), DEEZ (SOULTRiii)
Arranged by DEEZ (SOULTRiii), YUNSU (SOULTRiii)
“No matter how small someone or myself may seem infinitely small, if you look closely at all of us, we are sure to have special and great abilities.”
“Adults don’t trust me. The only ones who believe in me and listen to me are the people around me who are close to me... ”
The sub-title song 'B'rave ~ a song for Matilda', which was inspired by British children's story writer Roald Dahl's 1988 novel 'Matilda', shows that we all have abilities that are different from others, even if it's a very small ability. The meaning that there is one is expressed in the form of a bangbaek.
It is an R&B pop song with a 90's urban groove, and the fusion arrangement of the talkbox placed in the right place on top of the sophisticated moog bass and elec piano exudes a strong vibe. From the age of 4, he completed reading Charles Dickens' 'Great Inheritance' and 'Nicholas Nickleby' and William Faulkner's 'Sound and Fury'. enhance the completeness of the whole.
03. RING ma Bell (what a wonderful world)
Composed by Sjoerd de Vries, Galeyn Tenhaeff, Catalina Schweighauser
Lyrics by Le'mon
Arranged by Sjoerd de Vries
“I have been waiting for this moment. My eyes and ears react and my whole body feels that it is time.”
“Get me out of here now. The place I'm going to now will definitely have a completely different look, scent and music than this place... ”
The title song 'RING ma Bell (what a wonderful world)' is an authentic hard rock number that starts with a crunchy overdrive guitar riff in the style of the 70's. The instrument track made up of actual performances of twin guitars, bass, organ, and drums, and the bluesy guitar solo using the wah pedal on top of guitar phrases that linger in the mind, perfectly recreate the heritage of hard rock in Billy's own way.
This story, which follows the intense siren sound of the debut album title song 'RING X RING', which announced the beginning of Billy, is the inflection point and turning point of life that we face as we grow up, from children to adults, from students to members of society. It tells the story of feelings, new beginnings and commitments you feel when you meet your loved one.
An intense track that contains the admiration you feel while looking at a new world and the heart that reminds you of starting again when you are tired and tired.
04. $UN palace (Stroop effect)
Composed by minGtion, Kim Yeon-seo
Lyrics by Le'mon
Arranged by minGtion
“The sun is yesterday, the earth is now, and the moon is tomorrow.”
“I walked with my back to the sun watching the moon rise, but it doesn’t seem like time has passed and I’m the only one who stays there.”
“It seems like every day is solving a quiz... Imagining a big picture in which countless puzzle pieces are vaguely drawn, matching them here and there... ”
“The world runs on a different clock to me and my friends live by that clock. But in hindsight, wouldn’t we be in the same time zone?”
2nd mini album A series of tracks from 'M◐◑N palace'.
No matter how firmly you believe that you are going your own way, it is a song that tells the story of how we always worry and question whether this path is the right one or whether we are going in the right direction.
It's a 90's swingbeat number based on Acid jazz. The combination of the unique EP sound and the elegant code progression of Billy's artist, who has been working with Billy since his debut, is impressive, and the chorus line composed of Billy's near-perfect jazz voicing and artist Le'mon, who has also been with Billy since his debut, enhances the quality of the work. multiplied even more.
05. McGuffins ~ Who's the Joker?
Composed by Ryan Jeon, Anna Timgren, Mosin, arcon
Lyrics by Le'mon
Arranged by Ryan Jeon, Mosin, arcon
“There are things in life that I feel are important. But in hindsight, it didn't matter... This is a series of MacGuffins. It would be nice to know in advance what is important and what is mediocre, but that is not easy.”
A dance pop song that fuses Latin trap and Chicano hiphop with the most complex vocal and chorus lines among Billy's tracks released so far. Looking at Billy's disappearance and the reactions of the people around him who have cooled down over time, the lyrics ask themselves if life might be a series of countless MacGuffins. The story continues on the extension of the b-side song 'the rumor' in
The grown-ups obviously made a fuss about Billy's disappearance, but this soon turns into one of those mediocre stories, as if it were no big deal.
“By the way, where did Billy go?”
06. B@ck 2 Where We Belong
Composed by Kella Armitage, Riley Biederer, Max Weinik
Lyrics by Choi Ji-yoon (153/Joombas), Haram, Haruna, Moon Soo-ah, Si-yoon, Sean, Su-hyeon, Tsuki
Arranged by Max Weinik
Another message prepared by Billy for Believe, and a modern rock number that decorates the ending of this work.
Being together is always a great strength. Even if difficult moments come in front of us sometime after time passes, we will return to the place where we were together, recalling all the precious times we shared, cheering each other on and giving each other strength.
“Good days you will be together in the future, please stay forever.”

“Tell me, your B.”
4세대 독보적 스토리텔링 아이돌로 각광받고 있는 Billlie가 세 번째 미니 앨범 [the Billage of perception: chapter two]로 컴백했다.
탄탄한 실력을 갖춘 빌리는 지난해 11월, 데뷔 앨범 [the Billage of perception : chapter one]으로 '보랏빛 비가 내리던 11일의 어느 날, 빌리 러브(Billlie Love)라는 한 소녀가 사라진 미스터리한 스토리'에 대해 현실에서 빌리가 바라보는 이야기를 담아낸 대서사의 서막을 알렸다. 이어, 지난 12월과 2월 발매한 [the collective soul and unconscious] 시리즈에서는 현실에서 겪는 다양한 이야기들을 꿈과 무의식이라는 매개체를 통해 설명하며 하나의 서사를 두 개의 스토리텔링 방식으로 구현했다. 빌리가 선보이는 모든 콘텐츠는 하나의 스토리를 관통하며 짜임새 있게 연결되었고, 이는 현실과 판타지가 공존하는 유니크한 서사로 'K-POP씬의 새로운 시도'라고 인정받으며 많은 호평이 이어졌다.
미니 2집은 아이튠즈, 빌보드, 오리콘 차트 등 다수의 글로벌 차트에서 상위권에 랭크되며 많은 사랑을 받았다. 타이틀곡인 'GingaMingaYo (the strange world)'는 지난 6월 미국 시사주간지 타임지가 발표한 '2022년 베스트 케이팝 노래와 앨범(The Best K-Pop Songs and Albums of 2022)'에서 베스트 케이팝송으로 선정되며 쟁쟁한 아티스트들과 어깨를 나란히 해 한국을 대표하는 완성도 높은 음악과 서사를 기반으로 한 스토리텔링 아이돌로 많은 사랑을 받고 있다.
데뷔 앨범과 이어지는 시리즈인 세 번째 미니앨범 [the Billage of perception: chapter two] 역시 탁월한 음악적 역량을 자랑하는 빌리의 자부심이 돋보이는 앨범이다. 발표하는 작품마다 새롭고 다양한 예술적 시도를 통해 빌리의 음악과 이야기를 향유하는 사람들에게 깊은 영감을 선사했던 빌리는 타이틀곡 'RING ma Bell (what a wonderful world)'를 통해 Hard Rock이라는 장르의 한계를 뛰어넘는 중독성과 가슴 터질듯한 해방감을 주는 리얼 밴드 사운드로 스토리와 실력을 모두 담아내며 빌리가 가진 능력치를 다시금 입증해내고 있다.
타이틀 곡 외에도 Mayu Wakisaka, DEEZ, YUNSU, SAAY, 밍지션, 김연서, Anna Timgren, Le'mon 등 국내외 대표급 프로듀서들과 작사진이 참여한 이번 앨범은 음악적으로 또 한 번 도약하였을 뿐만 아니라, 발표한 모든 작품들과 하나로 연계되어 있는 거대한 플롯을 팝아트 작가 레지나킴 작가, '도시괴담'의 홍원기 감독, '달의 연인-보보경심 려'의 조윤영 작가, 멜로망스 정동환 등 다양한 아티스트와의 영역을 뛰어넘는 콜라보레이션을 통해 함께 탄탄하게 쌓아나가고 있다.
“그 아이를 지우고 11번의 여름이 지난 오늘. 기억의 가장 끝방에서 <세계>가 우리를 불렀다. 아름답고 즐거웠던, 어리석은 순간이 사라질 거라는. 빌리를 묻어 둔 <세계>가 무너진다는 종전 선언. 그리고, 멈췄던 기억의 하울링이 다시 시작됐다.”
'the end of the world and awakening' 中
빌리는 데뷔 앨범의 연작 형태인 [the Billage of perception : chapter two]를 통해 전작에서 거론된 빌리 러브의 구체적 모습을 과거에서 소환하여 상상이 아닌 현재 시점에서 기억의 조각들을 모아 이야기한다. 가장 자신다움으로 지냈던 각자의 어린 시절의 모습이 고스란히 녹아있는 스토리 필름과 이어진 시퀀스 개념의 뮤직비디오 속 빌리 멤버들은 아이에서 청소년을 거쳐 어른이 되어 가는 과정 어느 한순간에 멈춰있다.
어쩌면 어른이 된다는 건 일순간에 이루어지는 찰나가 아니라 여러 사건과 시간을 겪으며 만들어지는 커다란 과정의 연속인지도 모른다는 의미가 빌리가 만들어내는 음악, 이야기, 영상, 미술, 퍼포먼스 등 여러 형태의 작품 속에 유려하게 녹아들어 표현되고 있다.
“시간의 역행. 빛의 순행. 그림자의 발현. 세계는 파멸하고, 성숙한 내가 태어나. 오랜 약속은 새로운 맹세로 거듭나. 넌 거기 그대로 기다려. 널 내가 구하러 갈 테니.”
[시윤: 잃어버렸던 사진을 찾아내 움켜 쥔다. 어린 빌리가 또렷하게 찍혀 있고.]
'the end of the world and awakening' 中
01. my B = the Birth of emotion
Composed by Mayu Wakisaka, pdly, 윤종성 (MonoTree)
Lyrics by LLANO
Arranged by pdly, 윤종성 (MonoTree)
“우리가 품고 있는 여러 가지의 기억들은 어쩌면 나의 다양한 감정들을 만들어내고 있는 것 같아. 머릿속에 남아있는 기억들은 여러 색깔의 감정을 만들어 내고… 어릴 때의 기억과 마음이 사라져가는 것을 느끼며 만들어진 이 감정이 슬픈 건지, 두려운 건지, 기쁜 건지… 어떤 건지 잘 모르겠어.”
Psychedelic한 신스 프레이즈가 돋보이는 progressvice synth pop 넘버 'my B = the Birth of emotion'은 본 작의 시작을 알리는 오프닝곡이다. 어릴 적부터 만들어진 기억의 파편들이 지금의 내가 느끼는 여러 가지 감정을 만들어내고, 과거의 나와 현재 나 사이에서 느끼는 감정을 정교한 편곡으로 풀어냈다.
02. B'rave ~ a song for Matilda
Composed by DEEZ (SOULTRiii), YUNSU (SOULTRiii), SAAY (SOULTRiii)
Lyrics by Le'mon, SAAY (SOULTRiii), DEEZ (SOULTRiii)
Arranged by DEEZ (SOULTRiii), YUNSU (SOULTRiii)
“아무리 누군가가 혹은 나 자신이 한없이 작아 보이더라도, 우리 모두를 자세히 들여다보면 분명 특별하고 대단한 능력들이 하나씩은 다 있어.”
“어른들은 날 믿지 않아. 날 믿어주고 내 말을 들어주는 건 내 주변에 있는 가까운 사람들뿐…”
영국의 동화 작가 로알드 달의 1988년 작 소설 '마틸다'에서 모티브를 삼은 본 작의 서브 타이틀곡 'B'rave ~ a song for Matilda'는 실은 아주 작은 능력일지라도 우리 모두 다 남들과는 다른 능력이 하나씩은 있다는 의미를 방백 형식으로 표현하고 있다.
90's urban groove가 느껴지는 R&B pop 곡으로, sophisticated한 moog bass와 elec piano 위에 적재적소에 배치된 talkbox가 퓨젼된 편곡이 강렬한 바이브를 뿜는다. 4살부터 찰스 디킨스의 '위대한 유산', '니콜라스 니클비'와 윌리엄 포크너의 '음향과 분노'를 완독하고, 정직하지 못한 어른들에 대항하는 소설 속 주인공 'Matilda'의 실제 대사 같기도 한 흥미로운 가사는 곡 전체의 완성도를 높인다.
03. RING ma Bell (what a wonderful world)
Composed by Sjoerd de Vries, Galeyn Tenhaeff, Catalina Schweighauser
Lyrics by Le'mon
Arranged by Sjoerd de Vries
“이 시간을 기다렸어. 내 눈과 귀가 반응하고 이제 때가 됐다는 걸 온몸이 느껴.”
“여기서 날 이제 내보내줘. 지금 내가 갈 곳은 분명 이곳과는 전혀 다른 모습과 향기와 음악이 흐를 거야…”
타이틀곡 'RING ma Bell (what a wonderful world)'는 70년대 풍의 크런치한 오버드라이브 기타 리프로 시작되는 정통 hard rock 넘버이다. 트윈 기타, 베이스, 오르간, 드럼의 실제 연주로 이뤄진 인스트루먼트 트랙과 뇌리에 강렬히 남는 기타 프레이즈 위에 펼쳐지는 와우 페달을 사용한 블루지한 기타 솔로는 hard rock의 해리티지를 빌리만의 방식으로 완벽하게 재구현한다.
빌리의 시작을 알린 데뷔 앨범 타이틀곡 'RING X RING' 도입의 강렬한 사이렌 소리에 이어진 이번 이야기는, 아이에서 어른이 되거나, 학생에서 사회인이 되는 등 우리가 성장하면서 마주하게 되는 삶의 변곡점과 터닝포인트를 맞이할 때 느끼는 감정, 새로운 시작과 다짐에 대한 이야기를 담고 있다.
새로운 세상을 바라보며 느끼는 감탄과, 힘들고 지칠 때 다시금 시작을 되새길 수 있는 마음을 담은 강렬한 트랙.
04. $UN palace (Stroop effect)
Composed by 밍지션 (minGtion), 김연서
Lyrics by Le'mon
Arranged by 밍지션 (minGtion)
“태양은 어제며, 지구는 지금이고, 달은 내일이야.”
“태양을 등지고 달이 차오르는 걸 보며 걸어왔는데, 시간이 흐른 것 같지 않고 나만 그 자리에 그대로 있어."
“매일매일이 퀴즈를 푸는 것 같아… 셀 수 없이 많은 퍼즐 조각을 어렴풋이 그려지는 커다란 그림을 상상하며 이곳저곳에 맞춰가는…”
“세상은 나와 다른 시계에 맞춰 돌아가고 내 친구들도 그 시계에 맞춰 살고 있어. 그래도 지나고 보면 우린 같은 시간대에 있지 않을까?”
미니 2집의 수록곡 'M◐◑N palace'의 연작 트랙.
아무리 자신의 길을 가고 있다고 굳게 믿는다 하더라도, 우리는 실제 이 길이 올바른지, 내가 가고 있는 방향이 맞는지 항상 고민하고 의문하게 된다는 이야기, 그 감정에 대한 이야기를 풀어낸 곡이다.
Acid jazz 기반의 90년대 swingbeat 넘버이다. 빌리의 데뷔부터 함께 작업해온 밍지션 작가의 유니크한 EP 사운드와 유려한 코드 프로그레션의 조합이 인상적이며, 역시 데뷔부터 함께 한 Le'mon 작가와 빌리의 완벽에 가까운 재즈 보이싱으로 이루어진 코러스 라인은 작품성을 더욱 배가시켰다.
05. Mcguffins ~ who's the Joker?
Composed by 라이언전, Anna Timgren, Mosin, arcon
Lyrics by Le'mon
Arranged by 라이언전, Mosin, arcon
“살면서 중요하다고 느껴지던 것들이 있어. 그런데 지나고 보면 별거 아니었던 거야… 이건 뭐 맥거핀들의 연속. 뭐가 중요하고 뭐가 그저 그런 건지 미리 알면 좋겠지만 그건 쉽지 않은 얘기잖아.”
현재까지 발표한 빌리의 트랙 중 가장 복잡한 보컬과 코러스 라인으로 구성된 latin trap과 Chicano hiphop을 퓨젼한 dance pop 곡. 사라진 빌리와 시간이 지남에 따라 식어가는 주변 사람들의 반응을 보며 삶은 어쩌면 무수히 많은 맥거핀의 연속이 아닐까라고 자문하는 가사는 데뷔 앨범의 수록곡 'the rumor'의 연장선 상에서 이야기를 이어가고 있다.
어른들은 빌리가 사라졌다 분명 호들갑을 떨었지만, 이는 금방 별게 아닌 것처럼 그저 그런 얘기 중 하나로 바뀌어 버린다.
“그나저나 빌리는 어디로 간 걸까?”
06. B@ck 2 where we Belong
Composed by Kella Armitage, Riley Biederer, Max Weinik
Lyrics by 최지윤(153/Joombas), 하람, 하루나, 문수아, 시윤, 션, 수현, 츠키
Arranged by Max Weinik
빌리가 빌리브를 위해 준비한 또 하나의 메시지이자 본 작의 엔딩을 장식하는 modern rock 넘버.
함께 하는 것은 언제나 큰 힘이 돼. 시간이 지난 언젠가 우리 앞에 힘든 순간이 찾아오더라도 함께한 기억, 서로를 응원하고 힘이 되어준 모든 소중한 시간들을 떠올리며 우리는 다시 서로가 함께 있던 곳으로 돌아올 거야.
“넌 앞으로도 함께 할 good days, 영원히 머물러줘.”

Billlie the third mini album [the Billage of Perception: chapter two]“Tell me, your B.”
Billlie, who is in the limelight as a unique storytelling idol of the 4th generation, made a comeback with her third mini-album [the Billage of perception: chapter two].
With his solid skills, Billy released his debut album [the Billage of perception: chapter one] in November of last year about the 'mysterious story of a girl named Billie Love disappearing on a purple rain day on the 11th'. announced the prelude to the epic story that contained the story of Billy's gaze. In the [the collective soul and unconscious] series released last December and February, various stories experienced in reality were explained through the medium of dreams and unconsciousness, and one narrative was realized in two storytelling methods. All contents presented by Billy were connected in a structured way through one story, and it was recognized as a 'new attempt in the K-POP scene' with a unique narrative in which reality and fantasy coexist, and many favorable comments continued.
The 2nd mini album received a lot of love, ranking at the top of many global charts such as iTunes, Billboard, and Oricon charts. The title song 'GingaMingaYo (the strange world)' was selected as the best K-pop song in 'The Best K-Pop Songs and Albums of 2022' announced by Time Magazine in June, Standing shoulder to shoulder with artists, they are loved as storytelling idols based on high-quality music and narratives that represent Korea.
The third mini-album [the Billage of perception: chapter two], which is a series following the debut album, is also an album that shows off Billy's pride in his outstanding musical abilities. Billy, who has deeply inspired people who enjoy Billy's music and stories through new and various artistic attempts for each work released, breaks the limits of the genre called Hard Rock through the title song 'RING ma Bell (what a wonderful world)' Billy is once again proving his ability by capturing both the story and his skills with a real band sound that is overly addictive and gives a heart-rending sense of liberation.
In addition to the title song, this album, in which representative domestic and foreign producers and lyricists participated, such as Mayu Wakisaka, DEEZ, YUNSU, SAAY, Minji Sean, Kim Yeon-seo, Anna Timgren, and Le'mon, participated in this album. A huge plot that is connected to all the works as one is pop art writer Regina Kim, director Hong Won-ki of 'Urban Ghost Story', writer Jo Yoon-young of 'Moon Lovers - Scarlet Heart Ryeo', and Melomance Jung Dong-hwan. We are building solidly together through collaboration.
“Today, 11 summers have passed since I erased that child. In the farthest room of memory, <World> called us. That the beautiful, enjoyable, foolish moments would disappear. Declaration of the end of the war that the <world> in which Billy is buried is collapsing. And, the howling of memories that had stopped began again.”
From 'the end of the world and awakening'
Through [the Billage of Perception: Chapter Two], which is the serial form of his debut album, Billy summons the concrete aspects of Billy Love, which were mentioned in his previous work, from the past and gathers fragments of memories from the present point of view, not imagination. In the music video with the concept of a sequence connected with a story film that shows each person's childhood as they were most themselves, the Billy members stop at a certain moment in the process of going from children to teenagers to adults.
Perhaps becoming an adult is not an instant, but rather a continuation of a large process created through various events and time. heard and expressed.
“Retrograde in time. passage of light. manifestation of the shadows. The world is destroyed, and the mature me is born. Old promises are reborn as new vows. you wait there I will go find you.”
[Siyoon: Find the lost photo and grab it. Young Billy is clearly pictured.]
From 'the end of the world and awakening'
01. my B = the Birth of emotion
Composed by Mayu Wakisaka, pdly, Yoon Jong-seong (MonoTree)
Lyrics by LLANO
Arranged by pdly, Yoon Jong-seong (MonoTree)
“I think the various memories we have are creating my various emotions. The memories that remain in my head create many colors of emotions... I wonder if these emotions created by feeling my childhood memories and feelings disappear are sad, afraid, or happy... I'm not sure what it is.”
The progressvice synth pop number 'my B = the Birth of emotion', which stands out with a psychedelic synth phrase, is the opening song that announces the start of this work. Fragments of memories created since childhood create various emotions I feel now, and the emotions I feel between me in the past and myself in the present are solved with elaborate arrangements.
02. B'rave ~ a song for Matilda
Composed by DEEZ (SOULTRiii), YUNSU (SOULTRiii), SAAY (SOULTRiii)
Lyrics by Le'mon, SAAY (SOULTRiii), DEEZ (SOULTRiii)
Arranged by DEEZ (SOULTRiii), YUNSU (SOULTRiii)
“No matter how small someone or myself may seem infinitely small, if you look closely at all of us, we are sure to have special and great abilities.”
“Adults don’t trust me. The only ones who believe in me and listen to me are the people around me who are close to me... ”
The sub-title song 'B'rave ~ a song for Matilda', which was inspired by British children's story writer Roald Dahl's 1988 novel 'Matilda', shows that we all have abilities that are different from others, even if it's a very small ability. The meaning that there is one is expressed in the form of a bangbaek.
It is an R&B pop song with a 90's urban groove, and the fusion arrangement of the talkbox placed in the right place on top of the sophisticated moog bass and elec piano exudes a strong vibe. From the age of 4, he completed reading Charles Dickens' 'Great Inheritance' and 'Nicholas Nickleby' and William Faulkner's 'Sound and Fury'. enhance the completeness of the whole.
03. RING ma Bell (what a wonderful world)
Composed by Sjoerd de Vries, Galeyn Tenhaeff, Catalina Schweighauser
Lyrics by Le'mon
Arranged by Sjoerd de Vries
“I have been waiting for this moment. My eyes and ears react and my whole body feels that it is time.”
“Get me out of here now. The place I'm going to now will definitely have a completely different look, scent and music than this place... ”
The title song 'RING ma Bell (what a wonderful world)' is an authentic hard rock number that starts with a crunchy overdrive guitar riff in the style of the 70's. The instrument track made up of actual performances of twin guitars, bass, organ, and drums, and the bluesy guitar solo using the wah pedal on top of guitar phrases that linger in the mind, perfectly recreate the heritage of hard rock in Billy's own way.
This story, which follows the intense siren sound of the debut album title song 'RING X RING', which announced the beginning of Billy, is the inflection point and turning point of life that we face as we grow up, from children to adults, from students to members of society. It tells the story of feelings, new beginnings and commitments you feel when you meet your loved one.
An intense track that contains the admiration you feel while looking at a new world and the heart that reminds you of starting again when you are tired and tired.
04. $UN palace (Stroop effect)
Composed by minGtion, Kim Yeon-seo
Lyrics by Le'mon
Arranged by minGtion
“The sun is yesterday, the earth is now, and the moon is tomorrow.”
“I walked with my back to the sun watching the moon rise, but it doesn’t seem like time has passed and I’m the only one who stays there.”
“It seems like every day is solving a quiz... Imagining a big picture in which countless puzzle pieces are vaguely drawn, matching them here and there... ”
“The world runs on a different clock to me and my friends live by that clock. But in hindsight, wouldn’t we be in the same time zone?”
2nd mini album
No matter how firmly you believe that you are going your own way, it is a song that tells the story of how we always worry and question whether this path is the right one or whether we are going in the right direction.
It's a 90's swingbeat number based on Acid jazz. The combination of the unique EP sound and the elegant code progression of Billy's artist, who has been working with Billy since his debut, is impressive, and the chorus line composed of Billy's near-perfect jazz voicing and artist Le'mon, who has also been with Billy since his debut, enhances the quality of the work. multiplied even more.
05. McGuffins ~ Who's the Joker?
Composed by Ryan Jeon, Anna Timgren, Mosin, arcon
Lyrics by Le'mon
Arranged by Ryan Jeon, Mosin, arcon
“There are things in life that I feel are important. But in hindsight, it didn't matter... This is a series of MacGuffins. It would be nice to know in advance what is important and what is mediocre, but that is not easy.”
A dance pop song that fuses Latin trap and Chicano hiphop with the most complex vocal and chorus lines among Billy's tracks released so far. Looking at Billy's disappearance and the reactions of the people around him who have cooled down over time, the lyrics ask themselves if life might be a series of countless MacGuffins.
The grown-ups obviously made a fuss about Billy's disappearance, but this soon turns into one of those mediocre stories, as if it were no big deal.
“By the way, where did Billy go?”
06. B@ck 2 Where We Belong
Composed by Kella Armitage, Riley Biederer, Max Weinik
Lyrics by Choi Ji-yoon (153/Joombas), Haram, Haruna, Moon Soo-ah, Si-yoon, Sean, Su-hyeon, Tsuki
Arranged by Max Weinik
Another message prepared by Billy for Believe, and a modern rock number that decorates the ending of this work.
Being together is always a great strength. Even if difficult moments come in front of us sometime after time passes, we will return to the place where we were together, recalling all the precious times we shared, cheering each other on and giving each other strength.
“Good days you will be together in the future, please stay forever.”

Description (Original):
Billlie the third mini album [the Billage of perception: chapter two]“Tell me, your B.”
4세대 독보적 스토리텔링 아이돌로 각광받고 있는 Billlie가 세 번째 미니 앨범 [the Billage of perception: chapter two]로 컴백했다.
탄탄한 실력을 갖춘 빌리는 지난해 11월, 데뷔 앨범 [the Billage of perception : chapter one]으로 '보랏빛 비가 내리던 11일의 어느 날, 빌리 러브(Billlie Love)라는 한 소녀가 사라진 미스터리한 스토리'에 대해 현실에서 빌리가 바라보는 이야기를 담아낸 대서사의 서막을 알렸다. 이어, 지난 12월과 2월 발매한 [the collective soul and unconscious] 시리즈에서는 현실에서 겪는 다양한 이야기들을 꿈과 무의식이라는 매개체를 통해 설명하며 하나의 서사를 두 개의 스토리텔링 방식으로 구현했다. 빌리가 선보이는 모든 콘텐츠는 하나의 스토리를 관통하며 짜임새 있게 연결되었고, 이는 현실과 판타지가 공존하는 유니크한 서사로 'K-POP씬의 새로운 시도'라고 인정받으며 많은 호평이 이어졌다.
미니 2집은 아이튠즈, 빌보드, 오리콘 차트 등 다수의 글로벌 차트에서 상위권에 랭크되며 많은 사랑을 받았다. 타이틀곡인 'GingaMingaYo (the strange world)'는 지난 6월 미국 시사주간지 타임지가 발표한 '2022년 베스트 케이팝 노래와 앨범(The Best K-Pop Songs and Albums of 2022)'에서 베스트 케이팝송으로 선정되며 쟁쟁한 아티스트들과 어깨를 나란히 해 한국을 대표하는 완성도 높은 음악과 서사를 기반으로 한 스토리텔링 아이돌로 많은 사랑을 받고 있다.
데뷔 앨범과 이어지는 시리즈인 세 번째 미니앨범 [the Billage of perception: chapter two] 역시 탁월한 음악적 역량을 자랑하는 빌리의 자부심이 돋보이는 앨범이다. 발표하는 작품마다 새롭고 다양한 예술적 시도를 통해 빌리의 음악과 이야기를 향유하는 사람들에게 깊은 영감을 선사했던 빌리는 타이틀곡 'RING ma Bell (what a wonderful world)'를 통해 Hard Rock이라는 장르의 한계를 뛰어넘는 중독성과 가슴 터질듯한 해방감을 주는 리얼 밴드 사운드로 스토리와 실력을 모두 담아내며 빌리가 가진 능력치를 다시금 입증해내고 있다.
타이틀 곡 외에도 Mayu Wakisaka, DEEZ, YUNSU, SAAY, 밍지션, 김연서, Anna Timgren, Le'mon 등 국내외 대표급 프로듀서들과 작사진이 참여한 이번 앨범은 음악적으로 또 한 번 도약하였을 뿐만 아니라, 발표한 모든 작품들과 하나로 연계되어 있는 거대한 플롯을 팝아트 작가 레지나킴 작가, '도시괴담'의 홍원기 감독, '달의 연인-보보경심 려'의 조윤영 작가, 멜로망스 정동환 등 다양한 아티스트와의 영역을 뛰어넘는 콜라보레이션을 통해 함께 탄탄하게 쌓아나가고 있다.
“그 아이를 지우고 11번의 여름이 지난 오늘. 기억의 가장 끝방에서 <세계>가 우리를 불렀다. 아름답고 즐거웠던, 어리석은 순간이 사라질 거라는. 빌리를 묻어 둔 <세계>가 무너진다는 종전 선언. 그리고, 멈췄던 기억의 하울링이 다시 시작됐다.”
'the end of the world and awakening' 中
빌리는 데뷔 앨범의 연작 형태인 [the Billage of perception : chapter two]를 통해 전작에서 거론된 빌리 러브의 구체적 모습을 과거에서 소환하여 상상이 아닌 현재 시점에서 기억의 조각들을 모아 이야기한다. 가장 자신다움으로 지냈던 각자의 어린 시절의 모습이 고스란히 녹아있는 스토리 필름과 이어진 시퀀스 개념의 뮤직비디오 속 빌리 멤버들은 아이에서 청소년을 거쳐 어른이 되어 가는 과정 어느 한순간에 멈춰있다.
어쩌면 어른이 된다는 건 일순간에 이루어지는 찰나가 아니라 여러 사건과 시간을 겪으며 만들어지는 커다란 과정의 연속인지도 모른다는 의미가 빌리가 만들어내는 음악, 이야기, 영상, 미술, 퍼포먼스 등 여러 형태의 작품 속에 유려하게 녹아들어 표현되고 있다.
“시간의 역행. 빛의 순행. 그림자의 발현. 세계는 파멸하고, 성숙한 내가 태어나. 오랜 약속은 새로운 맹세로 거듭나. 넌 거기 그대로 기다려. 널 내가 구하러 갈 테니.”
[시윤: 잃어버렸던 사진을 찾아내 움켜 쥔다. 어린 빌리가 또렷하게 찍혀 있고.]
'the end of the world and awakening' 中
01. my B = the Birth of emotion
Composed by Mayu Wakisaka, pdly, 윤종성 (MonoTree)
Lyrics by LLANO
Arranged by pdly, 윤종성 (MonoTree)
“우리가 품고 있는 여러 가지의 기억들은 어쩌면 나의 다양한 감정들을 만들어내고 있는 것 같아. 머릿속에 남아있는 기억들은 여러 색깔의 감정을 만들어 내고… 어릴 때의 기억과 마음이 사라져가는 것을 느끼며 만들어진 이 감정이 슬픈 건지, 두려운 건지, 기쁜 건지… 어떤 건지 잘 모르겠어.”
Psychedelic한 신스 프레이즈가 돋보이는 progressvice synth pop 넘버 'my B = the Birth of emotion'은 본 작의 시작을 알리는 오프닝곡이다. 어릴 적부터 만들어진 기억의 파편들이 지금의 내가 느끼는 여러 가지 감정을 만들어내고, 과거의 나와 현재 나 사이에서 느끼는 감정을 정교한 편곡으로 풀어냈다.
02. B'rave ~ a song for Matilda
Composed by DEEZ (SOULTRiii), YUNSU (SOULTRiii), SAAY (SOULTRiii)
Lyrics by Le'mon, SAAY (SOULTRiii), DEEZ (SOULTRiii)
Arranged by DEEZ (SOULTRiii), YUNSU (SOULTRiii)
“아무리 누군가가 혹은 나 자신이 한없이 작아 보이더라도, 우리 모두를 자세히 들여다보면 분명 특별하고 대단한 능력들이 하나씩은 다 있어.”
“어른들은 날 믿지 않아. 날 믿어주고 내 말을 들어주는 건 내 주변에 있는 가까운 사람들뿐…”
영국의 동화 작가 로알드 달의 1988년 작 소설 '마틸다'에서 모티브를 삼은 본 작의 서브 타이틀곡 'B'rave ~ a song for Matilda'는 실은 아주 작은 능력일지라도 우리 모두 다 남들과는 다른 능력이 하나씩은 있다는 의미를 방백 형식으로 표현하고 있다.
90's urban groove가 느껴지는 R&B pop 곡으로, sophisticated한 moog bass와 elec piano 위에 적재적소에 배치된 talkbox가 퓨젼된 편곡이 강렬한 바이브를 뿜는다. 4살부터 찰스 디킨스의 '위대한 유산', '니콜라스 니클비'와 윌리엄 포크너의 '음향과 분노'를 완독하고, 정직하지 못한 어른들에 대항하는 소설 속 주인공 'Matilda'의 실제 대사 같기도 한 흥미로운 가사는 곡 전체의 완성도를 높인다.
03. RING ma Bell (what a wonderful world)
Composed by Sjoerd de Vries, Galeyn Tenhaeff, Catalina Schweighauser
Lyrics by Le'mon
Arranged by Sjoerd de Vries
“이 시간을 기다렸어. 내 눈과 귀가 반응하고 이제 때가 됐다는 걸 온몸이 느껴.”
“여기서 날 이제 내보내줘. 지금 내가 갈 곳은 분명 이곳과는 전혀 다른 모습과 향기와 음악이 흐를 거야…”
타이틀곡 'RING ma Bell (what a wonderful world)'는 70년대 풍의 크런치한 오버드라이브 기타 리프로 시작되는 정통 hard rock 넘버이다. 트윈 기타, 베이스, 오르간, 드럼의 실제 연주로 이뤄진 인스트루먼트 트랙과 뇌리에 강렬히 남는 기타 프레이즈 위에 펼쳐지는 와우 페달을 사용한 블루지한 기타 솔로는 hard rock의 해리티지를 빌리만의 방식으로 완벽하게 재구현한다.
빌리의 시작을 알린 데뷔 앨범 타이틀곡 'RING X RING' 도입의 강렬한 사이렌 소리에 이어진 이번 이야기는, 아이에서 어른이 되거나, 학생에서 사회인이 되는 등 우리가 성장하면서 마주하게 되는 삶의 변곡점과 터닝포인트를 맞이할 때 느끼는 감정, 새로운 시작과 다짐에 대한 이야기를 담고 있다.
새로운 세상을 바라보며 느끼는 감탄과, 힘들고 지칠 때 다시금 시작을 되새길 수 있는 마음을 담은 강렬한 트랙.
04. $UN palace (Stroop effect)
Composed by 밍지션 (minGtion), 김연서
Lyrics by Le'mon
Arranged by 밍지션 (minGtion)
“태양은 어제며, 지구는 지금이고, 달은 내일이야.”
“태양을 등지고 달이 차오르는 걸 보며 걸어왔는데, 시간이 흐른 것 같지 않고 나만 그 자리에 그대로 있어."
“매일매일이 퀴즈를 푸는 것 같아… 셀 수 없이 많은 퍼즐 조각을 어렴풋이 그려지는 커다란 그림을 상상하며 이곳저곳에 맞춰가는…”
“세상은 나와 다른 시계에 맞춰 돌아가고 내 친구들도 그 시계에 맞춰 살고 있어. 그래도 지나고 보면 우린 같은 시간대에 있지 않을까?”
미니 2집
아무리 자신의 길을 가고 있다고 굳게 믿는다 하더라도, 우리는 실제 이 길이 올바른지, 내가 가고 있는 방향이 맞는지 항상 고민하고 의문하게 된다는 이야기, 그 감정에 대한 이야기를 풀어낸 곡이다.
Acid jazz 기반의 90년대 swingbeat 넘버이다. 빌리의 데뷔부터 함께 작업해온 밍지션 작가의 유니크한 EP 사운드와 유려한 코드 프로그레션의 조합이 인상적이며, 역시 데뷔부터 함께 한 Le'mon 작가와 빌리의 완벽에 가까운 재즈 보이싱으로 이루어진 코러스 라인은 작품성을 더욱 배가시켰다.
05. Mcguffins ~ who's the Joker?
Composed by 라이언전, Anna Timgren, Mosin, arcon
Lyrics by Le'mon
Arranged by 라이언전, Mosin, arcon
“살면서 중요하다고 느껴지던 것들이 있어. 그런데 지나고 보면 별거 아니었던 거야… 이건 뭐 맥거핀들의 연속. 뭐가 중요하고 뭐가 그저 그런 건지 미리 알면 좋겠지만 그건 쉽지 않은 얘기잖아.”
현재까지 발표한 빌리의 트랙 중 가장 복잡한 보컬과 코러스 라인으로 구성된 latin trap과 Chicano hiphop을 퓨젼한 dance pop 곡. 사라진 빌리와 시간이 지남에 따라 식어가는 주변 사람들의 반응을 보며 삶은 어쩌면 무수히 많은 맥거핀의 연속이 아닐까라고 자문하는 가사는 데뷔 앨범
어른들은 빌리가 사라졌다 분명 호들갑을 떨었지만, 이는 금방 별게 아닌 것처럼 그저 그런 얘기 중 하나로 바뀌어 버린다.
“그나저나 빌리는 어디로 간 걸까?”
06. B@ck 2 where we Belong
Composed by Kella Armitage, Riley Biederer, Max Weinik
Lyrics by 최지윤(153/Joombas), 하람, 하루나, 문수아, 시윤, 션, 수현, 츠키
Arranged by Max Weinik
빌리가 빌리브를 위해 준비한 또 하나의 메시지이자 본 작의 엔딩을 장식하는 modern rock 넘버.
함께 하는 것은 언제나 큰 힘이 돼. 시간이 지난 언젠가 우리 앞에 힘든 순간이 찾아오더라도 함께한 기억, 서로를 응원하고 힘이 되어준 모든 소중한 시간들을 떠올리며 우리는 다시 서로가 함께 있던 곳으로 돌아올 거야.
“넌 앞으로도 함께 할 good days, 영원히 머물러줘.”

Ajani Great company! Requested an order and all items were packaged well and in perfect condition. they were also sealed, and arrived quickly.

Alex Franco So the albums came in great condition, probably because of the loads of bubble wrap they wrap it with, which is good! The albums themselves though included the same posters and stickers but the rest of the inclusions are different. There’s a lot of variety and I only got one duplicate!
