作为首张单曲专辑，出道后参加了竞演节目、乐队和各种音乐活动，某个瞬间因为自身音乐的特点无法确定而陷入了深深的苦恼。 “摇滚、抒情歌、R&B我都喜欢......” 以为随着做音乐的时间变长，当然会找到我喜欢的音乐类型和答案，但事实是越做越变得迷茫，所以作曲的时间渐渐减少，不能像以前那样随性地作曲。我抱着这样的心情开始打发时间，在渡过了风高气爽、没有任何计划、平凡的某一天后，我有了这样的想法 “也许把我现在产生的这些感情进入专辑里才是正确答案吧？” 这张专辑的体裁和其展现出的色彩不能概括为同一个， 它只是现在2021年I'll的想法和习惯，像日记本一样的专辑。 我把我此刻正在听的和我喜欢的音乐一个个亲自挑选给我爱的人的MIXTAPE 工作一开始，我就把自己在写歌曲最勇敢的大学时期和音乐朋友们见面后，一边吃一边聊天时脑子里的想法写成了曲子，用当时的心情录音的时候，最近害怕的工作室也变成了最让激动和幸福的地方。 最终，这次专辑成为了至今为止制作的专辑中，开始时最辛苦结束时最有趣的专辑， 也是第一次知道原来录音也可以笑着进行。 还有，虽然这次专辑选择的是KIWI， 但实际上我并不喜欢KIWI， 之所以这样做，是因为我觉得这最像我、最像I'll。 希望通过这张专辑收获的好经验和能量能让我们在下一张专辑中见面，这段时间 要身体健康，再见。 I'll [Credit] 1.입만 열면 거짓말 (Liar) “거짓말도 곧 습관이 됩니다.” Lyrics by I’ll(아일) Composed by I’ll(아일), cryinstereo Arranged by I’ll(아일), cryinstereo Keys by I’ll(아일) Drums by cryinstereo Bass by cryinstereo Chorus by I’ll(아일), Daeho Recorded by Manny Park at Sig Recording's 2.그냥 겨울 노래 (Just Another Winter Song) “방에서 혼자 크리스마스를 보내는 게 지겨워진 오만한 청춘의 노래입니다 여러분들도 망설여왔던 연락을 해 보세요 크리스마스엔 기적이 일어나잖아요.” Lyrics by I’ll(아일) Composed by I’ll(아일), cryinstereo Arranged by I’ll(아일), cryinstereo Keys by I’ll(아일) Drums by cryinstereo Bass by cryinstereo Guitar by cryinstereo Chorus by I’ll(아일) Recorded by Manny Park at Sig Recording's, THAMA at THAMA Arena 3.연어본능 (Animal Instinct) “진정한 섹시함이란 내 사람 맘고생 안 시키는 것입니다.” Lyrics by I’ll(아일) Composed by I’ll(아일), cryinstereo Arranged by I’ll(아일), cryinstereo Keys by I’ll(아일) Drums by cryinstereo Bass by cryinstereo Guitar by cryinstereo Guitar solo by Harry Pyo Chorus by I’ll(아일) Recorded by Manny Park at Sig Recording's 4.너의 집은 건대 (Where Were You) “건대 사는 친구가 집이라고 했는데 홍대에서 아침 밥 먹고 있더라고요 아 정말 친구 이야기예요.” Lyrics by I’ll(아일) Composed by I’ll(아일) Arranged by MINUE Keys by MINUE Drums by MINUE Bass by MINUE Guitar by MINUE Chorus by I’ll(아일) Recorded by MINUE at NEVERLAND, I’ll at My Cozy Loft Studio 5.Grace “내가 왜 계속 살아가야 하는가에 대한 이유를 고민한 적 있는데 이 세상 어느 누군가에겐 내가 그 이유가 될 수 있더라고요 단 한 명에게라도 내가 이유가 된다면 그걸로 충분합니다 주변을 둘러보세요 당신은 아직 알아차리지 못했을지 몰라도 분명 누군가가 있을 거예요 지금 이 곡을 듣고 있는 당신이 저에겐 그 이유인 것처럼요.” Lyrics by I’ll(아일) Composed by I’ll(아일), cryinstereo Arranged by I’ll(아일), cryinstereo Keys by I’ll(아일) Drums by cryinstereo Bass by cryinstereo Guitar by cryinstereo Chorus by I’ll(아일) Recorded by Manny Park at Sig Recording's, I’ll at My Cozy Loft Studio 6.Your Room (Stripped) “사랑은 당신의 맘속 방에 내가 들어가 사는 것만 같아요 그러면 이별은 뭘까요?” Lyrics by I’ll(아일) Composed by I’ll(아일) Arranged by I’ll(아일) Piano by I’ll(아일) Recorded by I’ll at My Cozy Loft Studio All Songs Mixed and Masterd by Manny Park at Sig Recording's [KIWI MIXTAPE]
