Lee Seung Gi Reveals BTS RM & J-Hope Will Feature On His 7th Full-length Album 'THE PROJECT'
Lee Seung Gi, who is set to make his comeback as a singer after 5 years, will release his 7th full-length album 'THE PROJECT' at 6 OM KST on December 10.
Lee Seung Gi introduced the tracklist that revealed a moist and emotional atmosphere earlier today. Especially, on the tracklist photo, Lee Seung Gi, wearing a black coat, is walking on a crosswalk of an empty road with his head down, maximizing the sad feelings. The background of the faint black and white color is harmonizing with the lonely Lee Seung Gi, raising expectations for the "prince of ballads".
The first and pre-released track 'The Ordinary Man' was written and composed by Yoon Jong Shin, a great musician of this era. As soon as the song was pre-released, it received the spotlight as it swept the top spots on music charts. The sympathetic lyrics, which convey that 'Everyone thinks their love is special, but in the end, the process of separation and the flow of emotions may not be in line', combined with Lee Seung Gi's delicate voice shows the essence of the affectionate emotional ballad.
The second track, 'Love', is a track from Lee Seung Gi's sixth full-length album released in 2015, and features the repeated word 'love' to express different kinds of 'love' as love changes.
The third track, 'Like a Flower', was included in Lee Seung Gi's fourth full-length album released in 2009, and raises excitement by harmonizing Lee Seung Gi's appealing voice tone with a sophisticated melody and a medium tempo.
The fourth track, 'Your Eyes Your Hands Your Lips', is the second song made by Cha Se Jeong of Epitone Project, following the title track 'Return' from his 5.5 full-length album released in 2012..
The fifth track and title track, 'I Will', was arranged only by piano and guitar lines so that listeners can fully concentrate on Lee Seung Gi, who has a deeper sensibility with a more mature voice. The lyrics, which contain regrets of people who cannot be better after a breakup, are combined with the mournful voice of Lee Seung Gi, adding to the sorrow.
The sixth track, 'Boy, Walking the Road', was written and composed by Kim Jong Wan. The lyrics convey honest feelings as if the writer was looking into Lee Seung Gi's diary, which makes listeners cry.
The seventh track is 'A Song That Will Make You Laugh', which attracts attention as it features RM and J-Hope of BTS. The song is a track from his fifth full-length album released in 2011, which has a grand gospel-tone light and cheerful melody. Producer Bang Si Hyuk and hit maker Pdogg, who are drawing attention from all over the world, worked together for this track.
The eighth track, 'Love Hovering', is a song from his 4th full album released in 2009. Lee Seung Gi's singing method, which contains tears, leaves a deep lingering in the heart along with the lyrics of sadness.
The final track, 'The Words of Love', is a song from his 5.5th album and a song written and composed by Lee Seung Gi himself, which is especially meaningful. The lyrics and his husky voice's low and mid-pitched tones describe an old lover who couldn't warmly say the most common sentence, 'I love you'.
Earlier, at 6 PM KST on December 3, the singer released some of the teaser videos for the title track 'I Will.' The sorrowful drops of tears fall from Lee Seung Gi's eyes, making him curious about the meaning of tears.
"Lee Seung Gi's seventh full-length album 'THE PROJECT' contains four new songs with more mature emotions, five remastered songs from previous masterpieces, a total of nine songs," his agency Hook Entertainment said. "As you can feel from the sentimental tracklist, please pay a lot of attention to Lee Seung Gi's seventh full-length album that will satisfy the five senses of listeners this winter."
