Akdong Musician, who came with the warm spring sunshine last May, returns to us in January 2017 with FULL ALBUM [WINTER] like a New Year's gift. How did Akdong Musician's adolescence change when they came back after 7 months? If Akdong Musician's adolescence, as shown in the last album [Puberty Sang (思春記 上)], was a story of 'a time when spring comes to thinking', a time when thoughts and emotions change that can come to anyone at any time, In the following FULL ALBUM [WINTER], they sang about the emotions that mature over time, and the world seen through those emotions was captured in honest and warm lyrics, like the inner thoughts written in a diary. In this Akdong Musician FULL ALBUM [WINTER], which consists of a total of eight tracks, the track list is arranged in chronological order from the moment of birth to returning home as one grows older and reminiscing about past memories, creating a song that matures over time. You can enjoy AKMU's growth story in one album. In addition, you can experience a variety of genres within AKMU's deepened adolescent sensibility, from ballad music that adds rich string sounds to acoustic guitar melodies, vintage-style emotional songs with a jazzy and soulful feel, and a variety of genres, including modern folk pop with an impressive funky guitar loop, within AKMU's deepened adolescent sensibility. Akdong Musician's adolescence ends with FULL ALBUM [WINTER]. In this winter, which is colder than ever, we hope that the 8 songs of Akdong Musician's [WINTER] will provide everyone with a pleasant experience of adolescence and the warmth of spring that melts the ice, as if opening a diary of an innocent childhood. The story of adolescence (second half) told by Chanhyuk |
