Tails and tails… Seonmi Dangchan, the first step in their 30s

Singer Sunmi is back with a new song’Tail’ that catches the eyes and ears.

On the afternoon of the 23rd, Sunmi held an online showcase to commemorate the release of the new digital single’TAIL’.

Sunmi, who made a comeback in about 8 months, performed a collaborative stage with Park Jin-young at’Wen We Disco’ right after the’Purple Night’ activity ended, and he also performed a healing entertainment called’between the run’. He was active as a junior judge. As a result, his comeback came back,” he said brightly.

In this single, two title songs,’Tail’ and’What The Flower’ were included. ‘Tail’ is a song that expresses the characteristics of delicate yet agile cats by comparing the love of an active, instinctive, and imposing woman. A unique guitar riff is added on top of the intense sound, creating a unique sense of rhythm and catchy melody.

About’Tail’, Sunmi said, “It’s a really different song from’Purple Night’. It’s completely different from the previous songs. So I’m worried about what kind of reaction you’ll show, and I’m excited.” “Villan Catwoman” said. He explained, “It contains a message to love while expressing the original instincts of a person like crazy.”

It is a new song that focuses on the animal sense that is expressed entirely in the’tail’ from the song to the performance. This is the reason why Sunmi decided to make’Tail’ the title song. Sunmi said, “The two letters’tail’ came up strongly. The tail is a means of expressing the emotions of animals. When you are in a good mood, you wave it gently, and if you don’t like it, you hit the tail to express dislike. It was attractive. One-dimensional and one-dimensional. , It was instinctive, and it felt like there was no lies.”

“After watching the news, when I saw the word’bite the tail on the tail,’ I started working on the’tail.’ “I don’t get ideas or inspiration from a grand place, but I get it from a daily place,” he said. I think the expression that comes to mind would be “to hit the tail.” I would usually use it as an expression of temptation, but I used it as an expression of annoyance.”

Not only performance, but also musically, he said he made every effort to bring out the charm of’Tail’. Although it is a song with a different atmosphere from previous releases, Sunmi said that he did not want to miss popular elements so that everyone could easily hear it. “In terms of sound, the cat’s peculiar sharp and nervous cry, yet drowsy and cool atmosphere. I focused on placing it all over the place. But, in case it would become too deep, I took care to make it easier and more comfortable to listen by using a rhythm or guitar riff.”

Sunmi, who has consistently participated in song work, directed this’Tail’ himself. Not only did he write lyrics, he also composed with Frants. Prior to Franz, he showed perfect breath with’Purple Night’,’Siren’, and’Narari’. Sunmi said, “If I used to focus on top-line work, now I am working with Franz composer on detailed work such as instrument sound, balance and tone. Fortunately, I believe in me a lot and give me advice. I actively reflect my ideas and opinions. In fact, they are brothers and sisters.” He expressed a strong satisfaction with his work with Franz.

As Sunmi has shown her unique performances every time, the unveiled’Tail’ stage aroused admiration for the sum of the magnificent dancers, where delicate movements are gathered and expressed. Sunmi said, “Because I’m a human, I don’t have a tail. I have a lot of thoughts on how to express the emotions that animals reveal with their tails.”

‘Tail’ choreographed by Janel Guinestra, a dancer and choreographer of Beyonce and Jennifer Lopez. Sunmi said, “I was thinking about which choreographer can best express the song’Tail’, and then I watched the video, but Janelle Guinestra was a choreographer of Irene & Seulgi’Monster’.’Tail’ also contacted me because he wanted such an animal feeling. There are a lot of new moves, and it seems that the choreography came out very well.”

He added, “Because the choreography can be bold, I said it would be nice if you could express one-dimensional and animal-like movements, but fortunately it came out very well. It’s really quirky, and it’s a choreography that I think I’d like to express that way if it’s an animal. I’m very satisfied.

When asked about the point choreography, Sunmi smiled brightly, saying, “I don’t know where the point is. It’s the point from the beginning to the end. The part that is particularly surprised by people is the ending pose. I devised this part. I am very proud.”

Although it has been 15 years since her debut, Sunmi has returned with a new charm that she has never seen before. It even created the word’Seonmi Pop’ with its original color of music, but is the growing public’s expectations acting as a burden?

Sunmi said, “I think I’m glad I’m still holding on to it. I was filming with Miseon Park a while ago, and he said,’People who endure for a long time will win later.’ PD Park Jin-young once said that the same thing. So, I came up with a present answer, saying,’Oh, I’m still holding on well’, and I’m grateful every day.”

He continued, “In fact, there is a lot of pressure. I wanted to give up again and again this time,” he said. “At some point, I set my own limits. But that’s not the real limit. It’s the limit I can break if I make up my mind. At least I should have believed in me. I’ve been confused and exhausted recently because I don’t seem to be doing that. Nevertheless, the reason I can stand on stage again and write songs is because of the fans,” he confessed.

He also said that it was positive for his work with other producers. Sunmi said, “I don’t like being trapped by myself, so I don’t have a mind like’it must be my song’. If I have a chance, I want to meet a producer who can look at me from a different perspective and work on music that I haven’t done.”

Finally, Sunmi said, “There is no grand goal that I want to achieve with this digital album of’Tail’ and’It looks like a flower’. Because I will prepare the next album again,” he said. “But the first step after these two songs turned 30 It seems like he took the first step in his 30s boldly and boldly, so it is a little meaningful in that respect.”
