Hwayobi's 7th Album Review

Source: Kdawg2k @ Soompi/ Original article here.

Overall, Hwayobi wisely chooses to stick with the same winning formula of R&B tracks when needed and added some electronica with her 10th Anniversary album. In an industry ruled by idol groups today, her vocals are still considered one of the best and unmatched even after a decade. This full-length LP is a good pickup for fans who are looking for true singer-songwriters that still follow the change in times.

R&B singer-songwriter Hwayobi celebrates her 10th Anniversary as an artist with this 10 track self titled album. 6 of the 10 songs were actually composed and self-written, making it her most personal release yet. (*Hwayobi actually wrote all the song lyrics & composed 6 songs including “Bye Bye Bye”).

The album opens with “Booty Call” and is actually not as provocative as the title suggests. Instead, it’s a slow song that showcases Hwayobi’s heartbreaking vocals. This track has potential to be a title track with its slow melody, memorable hook and good mix of English and Korean lyrics. The real title song, however is “Bye Bye Bye” which is a soulful R&B number about leaving a significant other. On this track, Hwayobi’s signature voice is displayed on this slow song.

Hwayobi…”I’m doin me…”

Annyeong all…

It has been rather quiet here with not much updates to post since Yobi has stopped her 7th album promotion. But recently, she had a fan signing event at Busan, Seoul. This week she also performs at concert for Wonju Citizens Day.

Our lady, Yobi’s cyworld looks rather lovely yet mellow. Her cyworld song, “I’m Doin Me” by Fantasia seems to accompany her cyworld image..a time to be alone.
