Red Velvet’s leader, Irene, is all set to offer fans a vibrant musical experience with her first mini-album, ‘Like A Flower’. Irene, under SM Entertainment, will release the album both digitally and physically on November 26 at 6 PM KST.
One of the title tracks from Irene’s first solo album, ‘Summer Rain’, is an enchanting pop ballad characterized by its heavy bass and dreamy synth sounds, highlighting Irene’s delicate vocals that shift seamlessly between chest voice and falsetto. The song conveys a hopeful message: “Even if we sway like daisies caught in the summer rain, we will protect each other warmly and navigate through this summer once more.”
Another track, ‘Calling Me Back’, is a futuristic pop R&B dance song layered with 808 bass, trap beats, and ethereal synth and piano lines. The confident lyrics, which embrace changes and unfamiliar emotions following the awakening of love, are perfectly complemented by Irene’s smooth yet energetic vocals, enhancing the song’s emotional impact.
‘Start Line’ is a band pop song with dynamic synth bass and rich band sounds, emphasizing the importance of having the courage to take another step forward. It delivers an encouraging message: “Whenever you need me, we can always start anew together on the same starting line.”
Released on Red Velvet’s official SNS on the 14th, the mood clips and teaser images capture Irene arriving in a foreign city, freely roaming the streets with a sensory visual style and introducing a refreshing new styling, which has garnered an enthusiastic response from fans.
Irene’s solo album ‘Like A Flower’ presents an opportunity to experience her musical growth and unique charm. Fans are eager to see what new musical attempts she will showcase in the future.
