On March 20 veteran singer and April bride Ailee presents her 7th mini album after year and a half.
The album title "(Me)moir" emphasizes ‘Me’ in parentheses, meaning a record written through personal experience, based on the past 13 years of walking step by step. The stories that flow naturally without embellishment while focusing solely on oneself clearly portray who ‘Artist Ailee’ is, who is embedded in the life of ‘Human Lee Ye-jin’. The album was produced by Big Hit Music’s exclusive producer Pdogg, who created numerous hit songs for BTS. Stream here.
The songs, including the title track ‘MMI’, were prepared over a period of about a year with more sensual beats and sophisticated sounds, and maximize the two strengths of vocals and performance, showing the expansion of the spectrum of ‘Artist Ailee’.
Just as each note comes together to create a melody, the album ‘(Me)moir’, which is completed by layering numerous inspirations, will allow you to understand Ailee even more deeply.
The first track 'Illusion' is an R&B pop song in the Jersey Club genre, where Ailee’s musical transformation stands out. A tight groove and Ailee’s chill vocals are sensually added to the powerful bass flow. The synergy of the dreamy sound and Ailee's restrained voice brings a different kind of emotion to the listener.
'Meaning' is ballad song with lyrics expressing sincerity toward a loved one and a richly layered vocal harmony chorus. Starting with a gentle guitar melody, the classic pop soundtrack runs toward a climax and meets Ailee's voice to maximize the narrative. With its overwhelming emotional expression, lyrical melody, and solid composition, this song will become a new classic of Ailee's ballads. The instrumental is also included in the album.
'MMI' is hip hop R&B genre song based on Miami beats that cheerfully and wittily tells a story of focusing on oneself. The kitschy top line combined with the dreamy bounce and Ailee's refreshing vocals maximize the refreshing feeling. Ailee ver. shows off her hip charm with her unique confidence and lively energy.
Meanwhile, Ailee will perform her new music on music shows.
