BTOB Company
The veil has been lifted on BTOB member Seo Eunkwang's comeback release. Peniel's featured support leaves a strong impression.
The music for Seo Eunkwang's new single album ‘OUR YOUTH(Our Youth)’ was released at 6 p.m. on the 6th via various online music platforms.
The single album ‘OUR YOUTH(Our Youth)’ archives the brilliant fragments of youth cherished in everyone's heart with Seo Eunkwang's uniquely clear, lyrical voice. It fully captures the fresh warmth and wistful nostalgia of sweltering summer days, gently soaking music fans' emotions.
The title track ‘Feel Alive(Feat. Peniel)’ is a K-pop track with a majestic mood, inspired by dynamic modern worship sounds. On top of a powerful band arrangement that makes the heart thump, an affecting gospel choir sound is added in three dimensions, delivering deep chills. In particular, fellow BTOB member Peniel's tasteful featuring rap elevates the song's refreshing energy to its peak.
The song sings of the brilliant, fleeting instant when ‘my’ touch meets ‘your’ warmth, and ultimately envisions a miracle of tomorrow that ‘you and I’ will create as one. Through his rap lyrics, Peniel conveys a message of unwavering trust and positivity toward each other, as in “Cuz I got your back and you also got mine(Please be on my side, as I am on yours)”, and “So let go of your worries and let‘s be thankful”, leaving a deep resonance. In particular, the passion-filled lyrics that set the heart racing and the overwhelming group sing-along that bursts forth in the latter half gift listeners with a complete sense of ‘being alive’ and a cool feeling of liberation.
The accompanying track ‘Us That Summer’ is a warm acoustic pop song that summons hazy memories of summer days. It beautifully unravels pure memories from childhood and refreshing school days over a simple, transparent melody. In particular, the children's choir that rings out pleasantly in the latter half stirs deep nostalgia and sends each listener on a journey through their own memories.
Seo Eunkwang has firmly established himself as a top-class vocalist in South Korea. After proving powerful solo prowess with his first full-length solo album ‘UNFOLD’ last December and his solo concert ‘My Page’, attention across the music industry is focused on the new youth archive he is set to present.
