YUKIKA
timeabout,

Yukika, the first mini album. ‘timeabout,’
Solo artist Yukika releases her first mini-album ‘timeabout,’ after her debut.
It announces the beginning of the Yukika universe by unraveling the various times and spaces seen across the past, present and future with Yukika’s own sensibility.

‘timeabout,’ is the name of the album representing the world of Yukika’s music expressed across various time and space. It is also the keyword of the series. From the past to the present, to the future, we will set up Yukika’s appearance that crosses time and space, and through this, we will draw stories that anyone can experience and can relate to. The title song and b-side songs of ‘timeabout,’ also work as a device that composes the narrative of Yukika Universe, and turns in a structured way, forming the starting point of the story about ‘timeabout.’

In this album, Yukika reaches out to herself, who is wandering after being hurt, at a time in the past left with scars among many past. The public will be able to sympathize with Yukika, who is searching for the past for herself who is trapped in a wound, by comparing herself.

The title song ‘Insomnia’ is the song that most clearly reveals the world view of ‘timeabout,’ and shows deeper teamwork by continuing the relationship with producers Lim Soo-ho, Woong-kim, N!ko, and others through ‘NEON’. ‘Insomnia’ is a disco-style city pop featuring groovy drum and bass sounds, and you can enjoy Yukika’s faint voice that spreads like a whisper.

‘timeabout,’ consists of stickers, photobooks, bookmarks, and random photocards made with images drawn by Yukika to increase the value of the collection, and will be available at online/offline music stores nationwide on April 7th.

[Song Introduction]

01. Leap forward (Intro) – (Composer, Arrangement: Memme)
It expresses the new opportunity to leap forward and the joy of the moment. It is a song that expresses the desire to break the mold of the past and take a new leap forward. The moment heading towards the climax after a calm introduction reminds us of a butterfly breaking out of an egg and flying away, and at the same time, it depicts the main character standing on a stage where the spotlight pours past the dark and stuffy reality.

02. Insomnia * Title song – (Composers: Sooho Lim, Woongkim, N!ko | Lyricists: Sooho Lim, Woongkim, N!ko, Limgo | Arrangers: Sooho Lim, Woongkim, N!ko)
I met once again with producers Lim Soo-ho, Woong-kim, and N!ko, who worked together on Yukika’s solo debut single ‘NEON’. It is a disco-style city pop with impressive groovy drums and bass, and the strings and EP sounds that appear in the interlude evoke warm analog emotions. It feels like walking in a thick fog, or it gives the feeling of walking in the shady atmosphere of dawn, and stimulates the listeners’ emotions with metaphorical lyrics that seem to coexist with the past and the present.

03. Aewol – (Composers: Muse, Space Cowboy, Jade, XQ | Lyricists: Muse, XQ | Arrangers: Space Cowboy, Jade)
It was created through the joint production of Muzie and Space Cowboy, who are loved as Korea’s top city pop artists and popular musicians. Yukika’s dreamy yet elegant voice color combined with the sensuous electronic music sound maximizes the charm of the song, and the romantic yet refreshing atmosphere of the song gives a strong sense of immersion.

04. TIME TRAVEL (Composer, Lyricist, Arranger: Bull$EyE, Aaron.H, Boran)
It is a song that expresses the ecstasy of love by harmonizing the colorful strings that announce the start of the music and Yukika’s powerful vocals. The point is that the distorted time and space are captured using various tenses, and the strong and turbulent feelings of love are mysteriously written. The free yet sensuous phrases that evoke the illusion of time travel give a strong addiction, and the urban yet mysterious atmosphere of the overall song touches the essence of city pop, adding to its meaning.

05. Secretly – (Composer, Lyricist, Arrangement: Dr.JO)
Through ‘Secretly’, she had her first collaboration with Dr. JO, who made ‘Lady’, a solo song by Yubin, a solo artist from the group Wonder Girls. A song of the ‘POST CITY-POP’ genre with a trendy yet retro atmosphere. After a unique intro that starts with the sound of birds and cars, the lyrics ‘Secretly’ like the title repeatedly appear, bringing pleasure to listening. In addition, it is also a song where you can appreciate Yukika’s voice leading the song with a rhythmical singing method.

06. Stardrop (PUNG!) – (Composer, Lyricist: CHEEZE, Park Munchi, Ahn Shinae | Arranger: Park Munchi)
Dalchong (CHEEZE), Park Moon-chi, and Ahn Shin-ae, who show the popular and trendy music world, co-wrote and composed the song, and Park Mun-chi participated in the arrangement to improve the quality of the song. It is a song of the city pop genre that starts with the tension of synth arpeggios and is solved with dreamy chords and synths. You can enjoy the refreshing atmosphere flowing throughout the song. The fate that suddenly came like meteors pouring down in the night sky, and the time that disappeared into a world of only the two as if possessed by something, sings as if chasing a dream.
