Description (Translated):

Everything and 10 stories of Sungkyu Kim.

It took another three years. In 2012, with 'Another me', he chose a different path from Infinite and started drawing his own music early. In 2015, through '27', Kim Seong-gyu's solid music spectrum was completed, and praise as Kim Seong-gyu, not Infinite, began. There was the unstoppable musical challenge of 'Another Me', and the emotion that the voice of a 27-year-old man shouting at the peak of his youth gave birth to has now become everything of Kim Seong-gyu and has been born as 10 well-made stories.

This album, like a story to be told with Kim Seong-gyu, is a moment away from the heavy idol leader of Infinite and expresses the common feelings of that generation, such as love, parting, longing, sadness, despair and regret. The stories were told with Kim Seong-gyu's own appealing vocals.

The musical sympathy between Kim Jong-wan and Kim Seong-gyu of the band NELL transcended time and worked together on a parallel line.
Due to this, the natural participation of musicians who are called TOP CLASS in the current music scene is full of unique attempts they can make, and the 8-month music work that began under the direction of the producer band NELL Kim Jong-wan was Casker's JUNO, Epik High's Tablo, The volume of 10 well-made tracks was completed in collaboration with DEF JAM's composer SPACEBOY and Zooey.
Within the running time of 2,607 seconds, there are reasons to fully listen to Kim Seong-gyu's voice.

1. What Did You Say (Feat. PUNCHNELLO)
Composed by Jong-Wan Kim, Juuno of Casker Lyrics by Jong-Wan Kim, PUNCHNELLO
Arranged by Jong-Wan Kim, Juuno of Casker
Chorus by Sung-Kyu Kim Guitar by Juuno of Casker Keyboards & Programming by Juuno of Casker
Recorded by Jong-Wan Kim @ Satellite Studio, Mr.Sync @ Korea Records
Mixed by Jong-Wan Kim @ Satellite Studio Mastered by John Davis @ Metropolis Studio.London

It seems that the question of 'How to start the story of 10 Stories?' must have been quite serious. But the beginning of the story chose the most stone fastball out of the 10 numbers.
The band NELL's Jongwan Kim and Casker's JUNNO's stylish pop give us trust just with the combination of these two.
Genius rapper PUNCHNELLO's message and Sungkyu's vocals are so perfect that it makes you feel like you're holding each other's place in a circle. The confidence that the vocalist asks the listeners, 'How were you?' makes your heart race as soon as the album begins.

2. Stay
Composed by Jong-Wan Kim, Zooey Lyrics by Jong-Wan Kim Arranged by Jong-Wan Kim, Zooey
Chorus by Sung-Kyu Kim, Jong-Wan Kim Keyboards & Programming by Jong-Wan Kim, Zooey
Guitar by Taeyoung Ko Bass by Inseong Choi Brass by Hyunwoo Joo
Recorded by Jong-Wan Kim @ Satellite Studio, Mr.Sync @ Korea Records, Kang Hyo Min @ Brickwall Studio
Mixed by Jong-Wan Kim @ Satellite Studio Mastered by Nam Woo Kwon @821 Sound

This is the perfect startup track where the story begins. Another double title track of ZOOEY and Jongwan Kim, who worked on the double title song of his previous work '27', contains all the splendor of Kim Seong-gyu's vocal skills. The brilliant melodic lines of the two artists, the perfect composition of instruments, and Sunggyu's refreshing voice continue to stay in the album.

3. True love
Composed by Jong-Wan Kim, Spaceboy Lyrics by Jong-Wan Kim Arranged by Jong-Wan Kim, Spaceboy
Chorus by Sung-Kyu Kim, Jong-Wan Kim Guitar by Jaejae Keyboards & Programming by Jong-Wan Kim, Spaceboy Recorded by Jong-Wan Kim @Satellite Studio, Mr.Sync @Korea Records
Mixed by Jong-Wan Kim @Satellite Studio Mastered by John Davis @Metropolis Studio, London

This song, which started with Sungkyu's story, is the main title track of '10 Stories, and was co-composed by SPACEBOY and Kim Jong-wan, who were the first Korean composers to belong to DEF JAM.
The cool development and sound that unfolds from the beginning to the end of the song as an alternative pop where the strengths of the three musicians are fully melted make us fully listen to the story of Kim Seong-gyu.

4. Attraction
Composed by Jong-Wan Kim Lyrics by Jong-Wan Kim Arranged by Jong-Wan Kim
Chorus by Sung-Kyu Kim, Jong-Wan Kim Guitar by Taeyoung Ko Keyboards & Programming by Jong-Wan Kim
Recorded by Jong-Wan Kim @Satellite Studio, Mr.Sync @Korea Records
Mixed by Jong-Wan Kim @Satellite Studio Mastered by John Davis @Metropolis Studio, London

This is a track where you can check the original breathing of Kim Jong-wan and Kim Seong-gyu of NELL.
Sung-gyu's voice flies freely over Kim Jong-wan's simple synthesizer melody line, and the harmony between the retro-feeling EP sound and the modern vocal line stands out.

5. Erased Days
Composed by Jong-Wan Kim, Jung-Hoon Lee Lyrics by Jong-Wan Kim, Jung-Hoon Lee
Arranged by Jong-Wan Kim
String Arranged by Hwanghyun String Performed by With string Guitar by Jaejae Piano by Hong Sojin
Recorded by Jong-Wan Kim @Satellite Studio, Mr.Sync @Korea Records,
Kang Hyo Min @Brickwall Studio, Jeong Gihong @Seoul Studio
Mixed by Dr.Ko @koko Sound Studio, Jong-Wan Kim @ Satellite Studio
Mastered by John Davis @Metropolis Studio, London

NELL's Kim Jong-wan and Lee Jung-hoon made it together. Kim Seong-gyu's mournful voice was added to the emotions of the two, further enhancing the song's perfection. This song starts with the introduction of a quiet song along with the piano and completes the picture with acoustic guitar and string sounds, and you can feel the strength of vocalist Kim Seong-gyu, who has become more mature.

6. Till Sunrise (Feat. JW of NELL)
Composed by Jong-Wan Kim Lyrics by Tablo Arranged by Jong-Wan Kim
Chorus by Sung-Kyu Kim, Jong-Wan Kim Guitar by Jaejoong, Jong-Wan Kim
Keyboards & Programming by Jong-Wan Kim
Recorded by Jong-Wan Kim @Satellite Studio, Mr.Sync @Korea Records
Mixed by Jong-Wan Kim @Satellite Studio Mastered by John Davis @Metropolis Studio, London

The combination of Tablo, Kim Jong-wan, and Kim Seong-gyu always seems to be in a new attempt. And the result is always successful.
Urban R&B genre tracks, electronic vocal tuning, and rock-like guitar riffs complete the song's stylishness, and Tablo's unique bold lyrics were born as a result of firm trials rather than selective trials. The wait for Borderline seems likely to continue.

7. Sorry
Composed by Jong-Wan Kim, Spaceboy Lyrics by Jong-Wan Kim Arranged by Jong-Wan Kim, Spaceboy
Chorus by Sung-Kyu Kim, Jong-Wan Kim Guitar by Jaejae Keyboards & Programming by Spaceboy
Recorded by Jong-Wan Kim @Satellite Studio, Mr.Sync @Korea Records
Mixed by Jong-Wan Kim @Satellite Studio Mastered by Nam Woo Kwon @821 Sound

It is a song that stands out with Sungkyu's vocals, which once again ring in the second half of the album's track number.
Following the title song, SPACEBOY and Kim Jong-wan co-composed the song, and the magnificent guitar riff leads the track on the broken beat.

8. City of Angels
Composed by Jong-Wan Kim Lyrics by Jong-Wan Kim, Sung-Kyu Kim Arranged by Jong-Wan Kim
Chorus by Sung-Kyu Kim Guitar by Jaejoong Keyboards & Programming by Jong-Wan Kim
Recorded by Jong-Wan Kim @Satellite Studio, Mr.Sync @Korea Records
Mixed by Jong-Wan Kim @Satellite Studio Mastered by Nam Woo Kwon @821 Sound

As with the weight of the regular album, Sungkyu also participated in writing the lyrics and unraveled his own story.
This song, which features Seong-gyu's calmly chanting vocals, draws out the memories of Kim Seong-gyu and portrays it with Kim Jong-wan's colorful expressions. It is neither dark nor bright, neither sad nor happy, creating a unique atmosphere.

9. Sentimental
Composed by Jong-Wan Kim, Juuno of Casker Lyrics by Jong-Wan Kim
Arranged by Jong-Wan Kim, Juuno of Casker
Chorus by Sung-Kyu Kim, Jong-Wan Kim Guitar by Keyboards & Programming by Juuno of Casker
Recorded by Jong-Wan Kim @Satellite Studio, Mr.Sync @Korea Records
Mixed by Jong-Wan Kim @Satellite Studio Mastered by Nam Woo Kwon @821 Sound

This is the funniest track among the album track numbers. The source of the moment of falling in love, the melodies of the synthesizer running around the ears, and the vocals of the minor Sungkyu.
I wonder if this is the sensuality that Casker Juuno and Kim Jong-wan created.

10. Mirror
Composed by Jong-Wan Kim, Spaceboy Lyrics by Jong-Wan Kim Arranged by Jong-Wan Kim, Spaceboy
Piano by Spaceboy
Recorded by Jong-Wan Kim @Satellite Studio, Mr.Sync @Korea Records
Mixed by Dr.Ko @koko Sound Studio Mastered by Nam Woo Kwon @821 Sound

The last story of '10 Stories' was completely filled with Sungkyu's voice. This song that talks to me in the mirror is a song of comfort to myself, who is getting hurt and weak as I get to know the world little by little.

 

Description (Original):

김성규의 모든 것, 그리고 10개의 이야기.

다시 3년여의 시간이 필요했다. 2012년 ‘Another me’로 인피니트와는 다른 길을 선택하며 일찍이 본인의 음악그림을 그리기 시작. 2015년 ‘27’을 통해 확고한 김성규의 음악 스펙트럼을 완성하며 인피니트가 아닌 김성규로서의 찬사가 시작되었다. ‘또 다른 나’ 의 거침없는 음악적 도전이 있었고, 청춘의 정점에서 외치는 27살 청년의 목소리가 선사했던 감동은 이제 완전한 김성규의 모든 것이 되어 10개의 웰메이드 스토리로 태어나게 되었다.

김성규와 함께 할 이야기 같은 이 앨범은 인피니트란 무거운 아이돌 리더의 자리에서 잠시 벗어나 그 세대의 공감대인 사랑, 이별, 그리움, 슬픔, 절망과 아쉬움 등을 표현했으며 어찌 보면 ‘현재의 나’ 에서 시작되는 모든 이야기들을 김성규 만의 호소력 있는 보컬로 풀어냈다.

밴드NELL의 김종완과 김성규 서로의 음악적 교감은 시간을 뛰어 넘어 평행선 위에서 함께 작업이 이루어졌다.
이로 인하여 현 음악 신에서 TOP CLASS 로 불리는 뮤지션들의 자연스러운 참여는 그들이기에 할 수 있는 색다른 시도로 가득하며 프로듀서인 밴드 NELL 김종완의 지휘아래 시작 된 8개월의 음악 작업은 Casker 의 JUUNO, Epik High의 Tablo, 데프잼(DEF JAM) 소속 작곡가였던 SPACEBOY, 그리고 Zooey 와의 협업으로 웰메이드 10트랙의 볼륨으로 완성되었다.
러닝타임 2,607초의 시간 안에서 온전하게 김성규의 목소리를 들을 이유는 충분하다.

1. 뭐랬어 (Feat. PUNCHNELLO)
Composed by Jong-Wan Kim, Juuno of Casker Lyrics by Jong-Wan Kim, PUNCHNELLO
Arranged by Jong-Wan Kim, Juuno of Casker
Chorus by Sung-Kyu Kim Guitar by 적재 Keyboards & Programming by Juuno of Casker

‘10 Stories의 이야기를 어떻게 시작을 할까?’의 고민이 꽤 심했을 듯하다. 하지만 이야기의 시작은 10개의 넘버 중 가장 돌 직구를 택했다.
밴드NELL의 김종완, 캐스커의 JUNNO 의 스타일리쉬 팝은 이 둘의 조합만으로도 믿음을 준다.
천재 랩퍼 PUNCHNELLO 의 메시지와 성규의 보컬까지 한 서클안에서 서로의 자리를 정확하게 잡고 있는 듯한 착각이 들 정도로 완벽하다. 보컬리스트가 리스너들에게 ‘넌 어땠어?’라고 되묻는 자신감은 앨범의 시작과 동시에 가슴을 뛰게 만든다.

2. 머물러줘
Composed by Jong-Wan Kim, Zooey Lyrics by Jong-Wan Kim Arranged by Jong-Wan Kim, Zooey
Chorus by Sung-Kyu Kim, Jong-Wan Kim Keyboards & Programming by Jong-Wan Kim, Zooey

Mixed by Jong-Wan Kim @ Satellite Studio Mastered by Nam Woo Kwon @821 Sound

이제 이야기가 시작되는 완벽한 스타트업 트랙이다. 전작인 ‘27’의 더블타이틀곡을 작업했던 김종완과 ZOOEY 의 또 다른 더블타이틀 트랙으로 김성규 보컬 스킬의 화려함을 모두 담고 있다. 두 작가의 화려한 멜로디라인과 완벽한 악기 구성, 그리고 시원하게 뻗어나가는 성규의 목소리가 계속 앨범에 머무르게 해준다.

3. True love
Composed by Jong-Wan Kim, Spaceboy Lyrics by Jong-Wan Kim Arranged by Jong-Wan Kim, Spaceboy
Chorus by Sung-Kyu Kim, Jong-Wan Kim Guitar by 적재 Keyboards & Programming by Jong-Wan Kim, Spaceboy Recorded by Jong-Wan Kim @Satellite Studio, Mr.Sync @Korea Records
Mixed by Jong-Wan Kim @Satellite Studio Mastered by John Davis @Metropolis Studio, London

성규의 이야기로 시작 된 이 곡은‘10Stories의 메인 타이틀 트랙으로 한국인 최초의 데프잼(DEF JAM) 소속 작곡가 소속이었던 SPACEBOY와 김종완이 공동 작곡한 곡이다.
3명의 뮤지션들의 장점이 고스란히 녹여진 얼터너티브 팝으로 곡의 시작부터 마지막까지 펼쳐지는 시원한 전개와 사운드는 우리로 하여금 김성규의 이야기를 온전히 듣게 만든다.

4. 끌림
Composed by Jong-Wan Kim Lyrics by Jong-Wan Kim Arranged by Jong-Wan Kim
Chorus by Sung-Kyu Kim, Jong-Wan Kim Guitar by 고태영 Keyboards & Programming by Jong-Wan Kim
Recorded by Jong-Wan Kim @Satellite Studio, Mr.Sync @Korea Records
Mixed by Jong-Wan Kim @Satellite Studio Mastered by John Davis @Metropolis Studio, London

NELL의 김종완과 김성규의 본연의 호흡을 확인 할 수 있는 트랙이다.
심플한 김종완의 신디사이저 멜로디 라인 위로 성규의 목소리는 자유롭게 날아다니는 이 곡은 특히 복고적인 느낌의 EP사운드와 현대적인 보컬라인의 조화가 돋보이는 곡이다.

5. 지워지는 날들
Composed by, Jong-Wan Kim, Jung-Hoon Lee Lyrics by Jong-Wan Kim, Jung-Hoon Lee
Arranged by Jong-Wan Kim
String Arranged by 황현 String Performed by With string Guitar by 적재 Piano by 홍소진

Mixed by Dr.Ko @koko Sound Studio, Jong-Wan Kim @ Satellite Studio
Mastered by John Davis @Metropolis Studio, London

NELL의 김종완과 이정훈이 함께 만든 작품이다. 이 둘의 감성에 김성규의 애절한 목소리가 더해져 곡의 완성도를 더욱 높였다. 피아노와 함께 담담하게 노래하는 도입부로 시작해서 어쿠스틱 기타와 스트링사운드로 그림을 완성해가는 이 곡은 더욱 더 성숙해진 보컬리스트 김성규의 강점을 느낄 수 있는 곡.

6. Till Sunrise (Feat. JW of NELL)
Composed by Jong-Wan Kim Lyrics by Tablo Arranged by Jong-Wan Kim
Chorus by Sung-Kyu Kim, Jong-Wan Kim Guitar by 적재, Jong-Wan Kim

Mixed by Jong-Wan Kim @Satellite Studio Mastered by John Davis @Metropolis Studio, London

타블로와 김종완, 김성규의 조합은 항상 새로운 시도에 있는 듯 하다. 그리고 결과는 항상 성공적.
Urban R&B 장르의 트랙, 일렉트로닉한 보컬튜닝, 그리고 락적인 기타리프가 곡의 스타일리쉬함을 완성했으며 타블로만의 과감한 가사는 선택적 시도가 아닌 확고한 시도의 결과물로 탄생했다. Borderline의 기다림이 계속 될 듯 하다.

7. Sorry
Composed by Jong-Wan Kim, Spaceboy Lyrics by Jong-Wan Kim Arranged by Jong-Wan Kim, Spaceboy
Chorus by Sung-Kyu Kim, Jong-Wan Kim Guitar by 적재 Keyboards & Programming by Spaceboy
Recorded by Jong-Wan Kim @Satellite Studio, Mr.Sync @Korea Records
Mixed by Jong-Wan Kim @Satellite Studio Mastered by Nam Woo Kwon @821 Sound

앨범의 후반 트랙넘버에서 다시 한번 울리는 성규의 보컬이 돋보이는 곡이다.
타이틀곡에 이어 SPACEBOY와 김종완이 공동 작곡한 곡으로 잘게 쪼개지는 비트 위에 웅장한 기타리프가 트랙을 이끌어 나간다.

8. 천사의 도시
Composed by Jong-Wan Kim Lyrics by Jong-Wan Kim, Sung-Kyu Kim Arranged by Jong-Wan Kim
Chorus by Sung-Kyu Kim Guitar by 적재 Keyboards & Programming by Jong-Wan Kim
Recorded by Jong-Wan Kim @Satellite Studio, Mr.Sync @Korea Records
Mixed by Jong-Wan Kim @Satellite Studio Mastered by Nam Woo Kwon @821 Sound

정규앨범의 무게답게 성규 또한 작사에 참여하며 본인의 이야기를 풀어냈다.
담담히 읊조리는 성규의 보컬이 매력적인 이 곡은 김성규의 기억을 끄집어내 김종완의 다채로운 표현으로 그려냈다. 어둡지도 밝지만도 않은, 슬프지도 기쁘지만도 않은 특유의 분위기를 자아내고 있다.

9. Sentimental
Composed by Jong-Wan Kim, Juuno of Casker Lyrics by Jong-Wan Kim
Arranged by Jong-Wan Kim, Juuno of Casker

Recorded by Jong-Wan Kim @Satellite Studio, Mr.Sync @Korea Records
Mixed by Jong-Wan Kim @Satellite Studio Mastered by Nam Woo Kwon @821 Sound

앨범 트랙넘버 중 가장 재미난 트랙이다. 사랑에 빠진 순간을 통통 튀는 소스와 귓가를 돌아다니는 신디사이저의 멜로디들, 마이너한 성규의 보컬.
캐스커 JUUNO와 김종완이 만들어 낸 센치함이 이런 건가 싶다.

10. 거울
Composed by Jong-Wan Kim, Spaceboy Lyrics by Jong-Wan Kim Arranged by Jong-Wan Kim, Spaceboy
Piano by Spaceboy
Recorded by Jong-Wan Kim @Satellite Studio, Mr.Sync @Korea Records
Mixed by Dr.Ko @koko Sound Studio Mastered by Nam Woo Kwon @821 Sound

‘10Stories’의 마지막 이야기는 온전히 성규의 목소리로 채워졌다. 거울 속에 비친 나에게 말을 거는 이 곡은, 조금씩 세상을 알아가며 상처받고 약해지는 자신에게 보내는 위로 곡.
