The inner story of Chungha, the unrivaled summer queen, released the second regular album [Bare&Rare Pt.1]

Album Review

[Bare&Rare Pt.1]
Tears running down, wanting to disappear,
Falling apart until I felt completely bare.
It was clear that It was time to face my own fears.
Two hands tight together with my Prayers.

Take me as I am...... Bare&Rare
- Chungha -

Chungha's 2nd regular album [Bare&Rare Pt.1] is divided into two chapters: Pt.1 (Bare), which talks about inner feelings openly, and Pt.2 (Rare), which contains new musical challenges. Following the special single [Killing Me], he directly participated in the production and writing of all songs in this regular 2nd album Pt.1. In particular, it contains efforts to compose the music you listen to rather than the music you see, and it is an album that honestly and plainly captures the inner story that Chungha usually thought of.

The last regular album [Querencia], which was released with a bold direction and abundant 21 tracks, solidified its position as a female solo artist and was selected as one of the 50 best albums of 2021 by Billboard. In addition, he was the first to win the Album Award in the Kpop category at the 19th Korean Popular Music Awards Ceremony, and through various musical activities such as OST, featuring, and duet, he fully showed his wide-ranging vocalist side. This album contains 8 songs that can be sympathized with by expressing the inner story of Chungha through vocals.

The title song 'Sparkling' is an attractive song with a high BPM of 160 and a cool sound like carbonated water with hyper vibe as its identity. Like the first sip of a cool drink on a hot summer day, it expresses a refreshing sensibility that is cold and spicy. In addition, Chungha's solid vocals catch the fast mood that can feel light, completing a cool yet sparkly track.
Opening the door to [Bare&Rare Pt.1], 'XXXX' is an attractive song with a sharp and intense sound and Chungha's languid yet mysterious singing rap. 'Louder', an intro 'Crazy Like You', a pop number song that catches the ears from the beginning, is a song that pours out explosive energy by adding Chungha's solid vocals and BIBI's charming vocals.
'California Dream' is a drive song that expresses the excitement of throwing away all worries and leaving for a beautiful place with a cool summer sea. 'Good Night My Princess', 'Love Me Out Loud', expressing gratitude to the fans who supported them in their respective places even when they had not met for a long time, and lastly, R&B Pop expressing the coolness of Korea buried in a trendy box. It even contains the 'Nuh-Uh' of the genre.



01.XXXX
Lyrics by Chungha, Sophia Pae, Fuxxy, Any Masingga, XIMON, WINNIE
Composed by Fuxxy, Any Masingga
Arranged by Any Masingga, Fuxxy

As if expressing an unstable state of mind, I pretended to be strong just by looking at the cracks in the broken glass. To be honest, I am still very timid and inactive. It seemed that the next story would unfold only when I accepted all these disappointing emotions, failures, and regrets. No, more honestly, I felt like I could end these feelings only then. I decided to try bumping into uneasy feelings, breaking and falling.

Upon closer inspection, more pieces of emotion than I thought showed the identity of a person called me.
As the light from broken and discarded wounds spreads in various ways, it seems to illuminate me in more diverse ways.
I want to see each and every one of them in the future. Therefore, I decided to gather more courage and share my honest stories... This song opens the door to my 2nd regular album [Bare&Rare Pt.1], which I finally completed after a difficult journey.

The title of the song “XXXX”, in the form of a piece of glass, expresses a beautiful and diversely shining appearance with a strong and sharp sound and an attractive voice.


02. Sparkling
Lyrics by BXN, Chungha
Composed by BXN, Prime Time
Arranged by BXN

"You make me sparkle, I'll be your sparkle" It's like my relationship with Byeolharang who shines on each other~ Let's spend a sparkling summer together as much as you've waited for a long time. Sincerely thank you always!

It is an attractive song with a cool sound like carbonation, with a hyper vibe as its identity on top of a fast BPM of 160. Like the first sip of a cool drink on a hot summer day, it expresses a refreshing sensibility that is cold and spicy. In addition, Chungha's solid vocals caught the fast mood that could easily feel light, completing a cool yet sparkly track. The arpeggio of the analog synthesizer harmonizes with the retro yet trendy drum line, and the chorus also adds an electric guitar to create a tough yet witty and colorful sound. In addition, Chungha's sensitivity and emotional expression, which changes like a chameleon to match the lyrics, can be a key point of this song. Like Sparkling's lyrics, "You make me shine" and "I will be your light," Chungha's 'Sparkling' decorates our summer moments with a twinkle.


03. Louder
Lyrics by Chungha, Alma Goodman, Klara Elias, Tushar Apte
Composed by Tushar Apte, Alma Goodman, Klara Elias
Arranged by Tushar Apte

What I can say to myself, what we can say to you... It's a cheering song with only obvious words. When you accidentally empty your thoughts and just manage to listen, I hope you can find your pure self smiling at the end of this song.

'Louder', with its cool Pluck synth and rhythmic and upbeat sound, is a dance pop song that lets you feel the energy-filled interlude. In the chorus part where you sing along with Chungha, you feel the bright energy and support that makes you forget all the difficult moments.


04. Crazy Like You (Feat. BIBI)
Lyrics by Cheongha, BIBI, Luvssong, Ryan Jeon, Kloe, Sam Preston, Rick Parkhouse, George Tizzard Composed by Ryan Jeon, Kloe, Sam Preston, Rick Parkhouse, George Tizzard
Arranged by Ryan Jeon, Red Triangle

Just like you, whose gossip is as natural as a cup of coffee in the morning, and whose pretentious smile is the most beautiful.

The pop number 'Crazy Like You', which captivates listeners with its addictive and minimalistic synthesizer sound from the intro, draws attention to Chungha's delicate and solid vocals, while BIBI's charming timbre pours out explosive energy. In particular, it is an impressive song with tragic lyrics that say that there is nothing more to lose.


05. California Dream
Lyrics by Chungha, Kella Armitage, Josh McClelland, Gus Ross
Composed by Kella Armitage, Josh McClelland, Gus Ross
Arranged by Gus Ross

How can the short, fleeting memories of that time still be so vivid...
It contains just one day of leisure, memories from travel, and feelings of wanting to leave again when I can't even guess where time is taking me.
I hope it's a song that can give you the thrill of being able to freely go into that imagination at any time...

'California Dream', an upbeat pop number song where you can hear Chungha's refreshing and refreshing vocals on a light guitar riff and heavy bass line, contains lyrics that encourage you to put down your boring daily life and heavy burdens and have a happy time in a place where you can dance to your heart's content. It is recommended as a drive song to cool off in the hot summer.


06. Good Night My Princess
Lyrics by Chungha, Jo Yoonkyung
Composed by Lee Hyun-sang (ARTMATIC), Choi Ji-san (ARTMATIC), ADORA
Arranged by Lee Hyun-sang (ARTMATIC), Choi Ji-san (ARTMATIC)

My mother, who raised me alone in a foreign land full of love, always told me not to live like herself, I'm sorry I couldn't do more, I'm sorry I couldn't be with you because I was busy with work, always reminding me of this time and saying sorry to me every time with tears in my eyes. He does. To such a mother, one day... Say it's okay, don't cry, Mom was always with you, Your sacrifice and love are so great that I can't be like you, I know I'm too small to resemble your greatness, Mom tells me Every morning when I left for work, I wanted to tell you about the greetings I secretly conveyed through my heart through the window and the images of praying for my mother to be safe and well under the blanket... "My mother is my eternal idol, and it was me who met such a mother. It's the greatest fortune for me... I'm so fortunate to have met such a hero. My eternal best friend and my great mother, thank you from the bottom of my heart, and I love you."

'Good Night My Princess', a ballad pop genre song with an electric guitar riff melody, is a song that tells the story of Chungha's childhood. It is a song where you can feel the lyrics for the loved one who lived a life of sacrifice for me and Chungha's soft and delicate emotions.


07. Love Me Out Loud
Lyrics by Chungha, Jo Yoonkyung
Composed by Peter Wallevik, Daniel Davidsen, Mich Hansen, Neil Omandy, Phil Plested
Arranged by PhD, Cutfather

I like us who are guided by each other's voices and always guide us in the dark. You are the guide in my eternal heart, and I want to sing so that you can always find the voice of your heart.

'Love Me Out Loud' is Chungha's second fan song in the uptempo pop genre, featuring an energetic melody line with a symphonic feel, expressing her gratitude to the fans who supported her in their respective places even when they had not met for a long time. .


08. Nuh-Uh
Lyrics by Chungha, Isran, Fuxxy, Any Masingga
Composed by Fuxxy, Any Masingga, Alina Smith
Arranged by Any Masingga, Fuxxy

You should know what's REAL..... Truth never dies, History is still, and forever will be alive. Everything about you is just uncontroversially Absurd.

[Bare&Rare Pt.1] 'Nuh-Uh', the last track of 'Bare' and the connecting track to move on to 'Rare' of Pt.2, is a track to show what Korean style is buried in Trendy. I wonder if this is a new aspect of gugak that has not been easily encountered in the R&B pop genre so far. The Korean sound and color are distinct, Chungha's attractive voice, and sophisticated synthesizer sound, rhythm, and bass sound harmonize with each other to present a subtle and beautiful new trend. The harmony between East and West is clear, and aesthetics are contained in it.

청하 The 2nd Studio Album [Bare&Rare Pt.1]

독보적인 썸머퀸 청하의 내면 이야기, 두 번째 정규 앨범 [Bare&Rare Pt.1] 발매
무더운 여름, 이 순간을 더욱더 Sparkle하게 만들어줄 청하의 Sparkling

Album Review

[Bare&Rare Pt.1]
Tears running down, wanting to disappear,
Falling apart until I felt completely Bare.
It was clear that It was time to face my own fears.
Two hands tight together with my Prayers.

Take me as I am...... Bare&Rare
- 청하 -

청하 정규 2집 앨범 [Bare&Rare Pt.1]은 내면의 감정을 숨김없이 이야기하는 Pt.1 (Bare)과 새로운 음악적 도전을 담은 Pt.2 (Rare)로, 두 가지 챕터로 나누어져 있다. 스페셜 싱글 [Killing Me]에 이어 이번 정규 2집 Pt.1 에서도 전곡 작사 참여와 프로듀싱에 직접 참여하였다. 특히 보는 음악이 아닌 듣는 음악으로 구성하기 위한 노력이 담겼으며, 평소 청하가 생각했던 내면적인 이야기를 솔직 담백하게 담아낸 앨범이다.

과감한 방향성과 풍성한 21개의 트랙으로 구성되어 발매된 지난 정규 1집 [Querencia]는 여자 솔로 아티스트로서의 입지를 다졌으며, 빌보드에서 선정한 2021 베스트 앨범 50에 선정되었다. 또한 제 19회 한국 대중음악 시상식 Kpop 부분의 최초로 앨범상을 수상하였으며, OST, 피처링, 듀엣 등 다양한 음악적 활동을 통해 폭넓은 보컬리스트로서의 면모를 충분히 보여주었다. 이번 앨범은 청하 내면의 스토리를 보컬로 표현해 공감할 수 있는 8트랙의 곡이 수록되어 있다.

타이틀 곡 'Sparkling'은 160대의 빠른 BPM 위에 하이퍼 바이브를 아이덴티티로, 탄산처럼 시원한 사운드가 매력적인 곡이다. 무더운 여름날 시원한 음료를 마시는 첫 모금처럼, 차갑고 알싸하게 톡 쏘는 청량한 감성을 표현했다. 또한 자칫 가볍게 느껴질 수 있는 빠른 무드를 청하의 단단한 보컬이 잡아주면서 쿨하면서도 Sparkle한 트랙을 완성했다.
[Bare&Rare Pt.1]의 문을 여는 'XXXX'는 날카롭고 강렬한 사운드와 청하의 나른하면서도 신비스러운 싱잉랩이 매력적인 곡이며, 팬데믹 시대의 밝은 에너지를 주고 싶은 마음을 담아낸 'Louder', 인트로부터 귀를 사로잡는 팝 넘버 곡의 'Crazy Like You'는 청하의 단단한 보컬과 BIBI의 매력적인 보컬이 더해져 폭발적인 에너지를 쏟아내는 곡이다.
모든 걱정들을 던져버리고 시원한 여름 바다가 펼쳐지는 아름다운 곳으로 떠나고 싶은 설레는 마음을 담아낸 드라이브 송 'California Dream', 나를 위한 희생으로 삶을 살아갔던 사랑하는 이의 가사와 청하의 섬세한 감정선을 느낄 수 있는 Ballad Pop 장르의 'Good Night My Princess', 오랜 기간 동안 만나지 못했던 상황에서도 각자의 자리에서 응원해 주었던 팬들에게 감사한 마음을 담아낸 “Love Me Out Loud”, 마지막으로 Trendy 함 속에 묻어나는 한국의 멋을 표현한 R&B Pop 장르의 'Nuh-Uh'까지 담겨있다.



01. XXXX
Lyrics by 청하, Sophia Pae, Fuxxy, Any Masingga, XIMON, WINNIE
Composed by Fuxxy, Any Masingga
Arranged by Any Masingga, Fuxxy

불안정한 상태의 마음을 표현한 것 같은, 깨진 유리 틈을 바라만 보고 강한 척을 해왔다. 사실 나는 여전히 겁도 많고 적극적이지 못한 편이다. 이 모든 실망스러운 감정과 실패, 후회를 받아들여야만 다음 이야기가 펼쳐질 것 같았다. 아니 더 솔직하게는 그래야만 이 감정들을 끝낼 수 있을 것 같았다. 불안한 감정들과 부딪치고, 깨지고 넘어져 보기로 했다.

자세히 들여다보니 생각보다 많은 조각의 감정들이 나라는 사람의 정체성을 나타내주고 있었다.
깨진, 버린 상처 조각들의 빛들이 다채로이 퍼져나가는 만큼 나를 더 다양이 비춰주는 듯하다.
앞으로도 이렇게 하나하나 마주해 보고 싶다. 고로, 보다 더 용기 내어 나의 솔직한 이야기들을 담아 보기로 했다... 이 곡은 힘든 여정 끝에 드디어 완성한 나의 정규 2집 [Bare&Rare Pt.1]의 문을 열어주는 곡이다.

마치 유리 조각이 난 형태의 곡 제목 “XXXX”는 강렬하고 날카로운 사운드와 매력적인 보이스로, 아름답고 더 다양하게 빛나고 있는 모습을 무게감 있게 표현하고 있다.


02. Sparkling
Lyrics by BXN, 청하
Composed by BXN, Prime Time
Arranged by BXN

"You make me sparkle, I'll be your sparkle" 서로를 비춰주는 별하랑과 저의 관계 같아요~ 오래 기다려 주신 만큼 더욱더 반짝반짝한 여름 함께 보내요. 진심으로 늘 고맙습니다!

160대의 빠른 BPM 위에 하이퍼 바이브를 아이덴티티로, 탄산처럼 시원한 사운드가 매력적인 곡이다. 무더운 여름날 시원한 음료를 마시는 첫 모금처럼, 차갑고 알싸하게 톡 쏘는 청량한 감성을 표현했다. 또 자칫 가볍게 느껴질 수 있는 빠른 무드를 청하의 단단한 보컬이 잡아주어 쿨하면서도 Sparkle 한 트랙을 완성했다. 아날로그 신디사이저의 아르페지오가 레트로하면서도 트렌디한 드럼라인과 조화를 이루며, 코러스 역시 일렉 기타를 가미해 터프하면서도 재치 있는 다채로운 사운드를 구현했다. 또 노랫말에 맞게 카멜레온처럼 바뀌는 청하의 감성과 감정 표현도 이 곡의 Key point가 될 수 있다. "네가 나를 반짝거리게 해", "내가 너의 빛이 될게"라는 Sparkling의 가사처럼, 청하의 'Sparkling'은 우리들의 여름 그 순간순간을 반짝반짝 빛나게 장식한다.


03. Louder
Lyrics by 청하, Alma Goodman, Klara Elias, Tushar Apte
Composed by Tushar Apte, Alma Goodman, Klara Elias
Arranged by Tushar Apte

내가 나에게, 우리가 너에게 해줄 수 있는... 어쩌면 뻔하디뻔한 말들뿐인 응원가다. 우연히 생각을 비우고 그저 그럭저럭 들었을 때, 이 노래 끝에 웃고 있는 순수한 스스로의 모습을 찾을 수 있기를 바란다.

시원한 Pluck 신스와 리드미컬하면서 경쾌한 사운드가 매력적인 'Louder'은 에너지 넘치는 인털루드를 느낄 수 있는 Dance Pop 곡이다. 청하와 함께 노래를 부르는 합창 파트에서 힘들었던 모든 순간들을 잊게 만들어주는 밝은 에너지와 응원을 받는 기분을 느끼게 한다.


04. Crazy Like You (Feat. BIBI)
Lyrics by 청하, BIBI, Luvssong, 라이언전, Kloe, Sam Preston, Rick Parkhouse, George Tizzard Composed by 라이언전, Kloe, Sam Preston, Rick Parkhouse, George Tizzard
Arranged by 라이언전, Red Triangle

가십거리가 아침에 마시는 커피 한 잔만큼 당연하고, 가식적인 미소가 가장 아름다운 너처럼.

인트로부터 중독되고 미니멀한 신디사이저 사운드로 듣는 이들의 귀를 사로잡는 팝 넘버 'Crazy Like You'는 청하만의 섬세하고 단단한 보컬에 집중하게 만들며 BIBI의 매력적인 음색이 더해져 폭발적인 에너지를 쏟아낸다. 특히 더는 잃을 것조차 하나 없다는 비장한 가사가 인상적인 곡이다.


05. California Dream
Lyrics by 청하, Kella Armitage, Josh McClelland, Gus Ross
Composed by Kella Armitage, Josh McClelland, Gus Ross
Arranged by Gus Ross

그때의 짧고 찰나의 기억이 아직까지 이토록 생생할 수 있나...
시간이 어디로 나를 데리고 가는지 가늠조차 안 갈 때쯤 찾아온 딱 하루의 여유와 여행 속 기억들, 다시금 떠나고픈 감정들을 담았습니다.
언제든 다시 자유로이 그 상상 속으로 떠날 수 있는 설렘을 선물해 줄 수 있는 곡이길 바라요...

경쾌한 기타 리프과 무게감 있는 베이스 라인에 청하의 청량하고 시원한 보컬을 들을 수 있는 업비트 팝 넘버 곡 'California Dream'은 지루한 일상과 무거운 짐들을 내려놓고 마음껏 춤출 수 있는 곳에서 행복한 시간을 보내자는 가사가 담겨있으며, 무더운 여름을 시원하게 보내줄 드라이브 송으로 추천한다.


06. Good Night My Princess
Lyrics by 청하, 조윤경
Composed by 이현상(ARTMATIC), 최지산(ARTMATIC), ADORA
Arranged by 이현상(ARTMATIC), 최지산(ARTMATIC)

낯선 타지에서 홀로 사랑 가득 키워주신 어머니께선 늘 자신처럼 살지 말라 하시며 더 못 해줘서 미안하다, 벌이가 바빠 함께해 주지 못해 미안하다, 이렇게 언제나 이 시절을 떠올리시며 눈시울이 붉어지신 채 저에게 매번 미안하다고만 하십니다. 그런 어머니에게 언젠간... 괜찮다고, 울지 말라고, 엄마는 언제나 늘 함께였으며, 그대의 희생과 사랑이 너무나도 위대하기에 나는 그대와 같을 수 없다고, 그대의 위대함을 닮아가기엔 스스로가 너무 작음을 안다고, 엄마가 매일 새벽 출근할 때마다 창문 넘어 몰래 마음으로 전한 인사들과 이불 속에서 엄마가 안전하고 안녕하길 기도했던 모습들을 담아 말해주고 싶었습니다... "엄마는 나의 영원한 우상이고, 그런 엄마를 만난 건 나에게 가장 큰 행운이야... 그런 영웅을 만나 참 다행이야. 나의 영원한 단짝이자 나의 위대한 어머니여 줘서 진심으로 고맙고, 사랑합니다."

일렉기타 리프의 선율이 감미롭게 빠져드는 Ballad Pop 장르의 곡 'Good Night My Princess'는 청하의 어린 유년 시절의 이야기를 담은 곡이다. 나를 위해 희생으로 삶을 살아갔던 사랑하는 이를 위한 가사와 청하의 부드럽고 섬세한 감정선을 느낄 수 있는 곡이다.


07. Love Me Out Loud
Lyrics by 청하, 조윤경
Composed by Peter Wallevik, Daniel Davidsen, Mich Hansen, Neil Omandy, Phil Plested
Arranged by PhD, Cutfather

서로의 목소리에 이끌려 언제나 어둠 속에서의 길잡이가 되어주는 우리가 좋다. 너는 나의 영원한 마음속 길잡이며, 나는 네가 언제까지나 마음의 소리를 잘 찾을 수 있도록 노래하고 싶다.

교향곡 느낌의 에너지 넘치는 멜로디 라인이 특징인 업템포 Pop 장르의 'Love Me Out Loud'는 청하의 두 번째 팬송으로 오랜 기간 동안 만나지 못했던 상황에서도 각자의 자리에서 응원해 주었던 팬들에게 감사한 마음을 담아냈다.


08. Nuh-Uh
Lyrics by 청하, 이스란, Fuxxy, Any Masingga

[Bare&Rare Pt.1] 'Bare'의 마지막 트랙이자 Pt.2의 'Rare'로 넘어가기 위한 연결 트랙 'Nuh-Uh'는 Trendy 함 속에 묻어나는 한국적인 멋이 무엇인지 알려주기 위한 트랙이다. 지금까지 R&B Pop 장르에서는 쉽게 접하지 못했던 국악의 새로운 모습이 아닐까 싶다. 한국적인 소리와 색이 뚜렷하고 청하의 매력적인 보이스, 그리고 세련된 신디사이저 사운드와 리듬, 베이스 사운드가 서로 조화되어 오묘하고도 아름답게 새로운 트렌디함을 선사한다. 동서양의 조화가 뚜렷하며, 그 속에 미학을 담고 있다.
