Description (Translated):
This is the first full-length album by pianist and composer Lee Mi-young's trio. It features the precise positioning of Lee Mi-young, bassist Lim Song-hyuk, and drummer Moon Sae-rop; a thoughtfulness that keeps listeners from losing the familiarity of the songs while running parallel to the melodies; and a sense of balance that does not lose the unique character of the performance. This brilliant sensibility stems from the "optimism with reason" that permeates the entire album. Unconditional admiration for life is fragile. However, the facets of life that Lee Mi-young conveys through her music are all connected by small but certain positivity.Lee Mi-young neither emphasizes flashy pianism nor imbues it with static notes. Instead, she possesses the flexibility to appropriately adjust her musical color to suit the piece. At the same time, the hues of her music are like a filter that captures the world with warmth, no matter how the photograph is taken. This delightful music has arrived like a bundle of photos discovered by chance after a long time of forgetting. Lee Mi-young has carefully selected specific moments of life to present before us. Perhaps this is something we have been searching for for a long time, unaware that it was already close at hand.
And Lee Mi-young released exactly what she had been searching for, after undergoing the delicate mixing and mastering of Kim Ju-hwan at Laura Records. Even before this, albums released by Laura Records possessed not only a distinct musical direction but also a blueprint for sound. For instance, the Bae Min-hyuk Trio's [To Begin From The Beginning] delivered an authentic jazz guitar sound based on the Gibson ES-175CC, fluidly traversing between traditional and modern styles; the Kang Jae-hoon Trio's [Mean What You Say] showcased the intimate acoustic sound of straight-ahead jazz alongside bassist Park Jin-kyo and drummer Evan Sherman. Guitarist Tak Kyung-ju's [You Are Too Beautiful] blended a beautiful ballad with elegant and delicate instrumentation. Furthermore, the featuring by vocalist Lim Chae-hee and Kim Ju-hwan was intimate and profound, reminiscent of the small-ensemble guitar-vocal recordings from the past Pablo label.
Compared to traditional acoustic sounds, the music of the Lee Mi-young Trio is more modern and meticulously refined. Much like Brad Mehldau's 2005 trio album *Day is Done* on the Nonsuch label, the piano image recedes slightly into the background; while positioned parallel to the drums and bass, they seem to gently envelop the piano sound. The touch is transparent, and the details of the drums are more pronounced. This sound design is well-suited to revealing Lee Mi-young's unique style, which incorporates diverse musical elements such as jazz, pop, and blues. It also demonstrates the producer's capability to present the artist's intentions without distortion. Through this, the performer's unmistakable sincerity is conveyed to us. Laura Records imprints a new standard sound for every album. This is akin to creating a new answer sheet for each artist, rather than simply holding a single answer key and fitting different artists' music onto it. Let us take a closer look at this spirit, perfected through the collaboration of Lee Mi-young and Laura Records.
The first track, 'Anticipation,' begins with upbeat drums and paints a pleasant sense of anticipation. The drumming, which settles precisely into the ear with minimal reverberation, meets the transparent piano to accurately shape the music. Lee Mi-young reportedly asked the audience who listened to the song what came to mind. Although the answers varied, they all agreed on one thing: "a pleasant premonition right before something wonderful happens." Such anticipation naturally blends into the song. It is the perfect track to kick off the album.
The following track, 'Silk & Soul,' was created with the hope that it would serve as a source of rest at various points in daily life. The smoothly flowing melody gently relaxes a hardened heart and brings a sense of comfort. Lee Mi-young's music does not originate from grandiose sources. Just as one feels comfort listening to music while lying on a dermatologist's bed, she simply hopes this music will become a place to rest. Music does not need to take one to places in life that have never been experienced. Every piece of music has its own place, and what matters more is that this place is not a false one. In this sense, Lee Mi-young's music illuminates the place of life without embellishment or deception.
'Soft Focus' is a song inspired by the bright and fluffy warmth depicted in Disney animations. Lee Mi-young even went on a nationwide tour featuring Disney music, demonstrating that she did not merely superficially accept the Disney world to create impressions, but rather deeply assimilated it in her own unique way. The rhythm and melody, which never lose their cheerfulness, are warm and hopeful, much like unraveling the unfinished story of the jazz standard 'Someday My Prince Will Come,' which originated from the Disney animation *Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs*.
'Bride Ashley' is a record of a magical moment. An audience member who heard Lee Mi-young's music asked her to play it as their entrance piece at their wedding. To borrow her words, is there any greater blessing for a musician than becoming the background music for the most radiant moment of someone's life? I may never fully understand that glory and blessing, but thanks to this music, I can at least get a glimpse of it. Lee Mi-young said of this moment, "I am so glad I chose music," and I would like to return this sentiment: I am so glad I listened to this music.
"Sugar Rush Stomp," which recalls a day spent alone with a nephew, paints a picture of an aunt struggling somewhat to keep up with her nephew's energy, but that is all that matters. The time spent waddling and chasing after the nephew is fully infused into the rhythm and melody. The energetic dynamics and Song-Hyuk Lim's bass solo make the memories held within the song even deeper and more colorful. "Myong's Blues" is a track that fully captures Lee Mi-young's bright energy. While blues usually brings to mind a weighty and heavy groove, her blues is lively. This musical consistency clearly reveals the musician's personalityβan undeniable cheerfulness.
The final track, 'The Calling Heart,' tells the story of hearts that summon each other without words. As Moon Sae-rop's brushstrokes scatter like mist to create texture, and the bass resonates deeply and precisely, Lee Mi-young appears calmer and more serious. Yet, she presses the keys without letting go of the heart that still shines brightly. Passing through warmth, vitality, and cheerfulness, she is a musician who slowly, finally, opens up her true feelings. Lee Mi-young's music begins anew at the end.
