Daesung has released his first solo mini album "D’s WAVE" on April 8 in which he participated in writing, composing, and producing.
This album focuses solely on his voice, and expresses the musical changes that will constantly move and be recreated with the word ‘WAVE’.
This album, which was completed after about 2 years of preparation, contains his own unique personality that is emotional yet soulful based on a rock-based band sound.
Daesung proved the title of ‘complete performance artist’ with his unrivaled stage presence. His voice will resonate around the world during the live tour that will begin simultaneously with the release.
The album contains eight triacks. The bright and hopeful sound of ‘Beautiful Life’ is a song filled with warm feelings that my life has become more beautiful thanks to the people who have always been by my side and given me strength. This song, which starts with a catchy guitar sound, will cool down your stuffy heart with Daesung’s refreshing vocals.
‘Us of Those Days’, created in collaboration with the band The Rose, features a lyrical melody and Daesung’s emotional vocals. This song, which has a charming vintage electric guitar sound that feels hazy, sings about the beautiful moments in life and the longing for the times that have passed.
‘Universe’, a song with a warm and hazy melody and powerful rock sound, is a song that contains a challenging message of finding my own thing toward a better world. The strong introduction that seems to open the door to the world further emphasizes his world.

Born with the support of artist ‘Han Yohan’, ‘Last girl’ is an impressive collaboration between two artists with different colors. You can feel the diverse charms of the chorus filled with Daesung’s sweet voice, the powerful rock sound, and Han Yohan’s voice loved by many listeners.
‘JUMP’, in which Daesung participated in writing the lyrics himself, is a song characterized by an exciting band sound and refreshing vocals. I hope you can feel Daesung’s message that the listener’s heart will be filled with bright energy while listening to this song with its attractive funky guitar sound and addictive chorus melody. “Let’s jump together, JUMP!”
'Fly Away', featuring Daesung's energetic and dynamic vocals, contains a message of leaving behind regrets about the past and flying towards a higher place. This song, Daesung's second work with producer AllThou, is a groovy modern rock sound song with real bass.
'Wolf', featuring artist 'Sunwoo Jung-ah', is a song that charmingly contains Daesung's unique soulful sensibility and husky voice. It contains an atmosphere reminiscent of cold wind and wide fields, and the determination to silently walk through the wide world like the gaze of a wolf that has left its pack. It is a song where you can feel Daesung's musical spectrum with infinite possibilities.
The bonus track 'Umbrella' is a sentimental alternative rock genre song, and producer NATHAN, who has recently released various hit songs in K-POP, participated. It is meaningful in that he once again conveys a message to his fans in a Korean version after releasing a surprise limited edition new song for the first time in 7 years at a recent Japanese encore concert. Let's listen to his song that is both metaphorical and sincere. “I’ll be your umbrella.”
