Singer-songwriter Ahn Ye-eun, who has been leaving an impressive mark day after day in partnership with Double X Entertainment, has returned this time with an EP album.
Starting with her new EP , music genius Ahn Ye-eun—who is capable of composing, writing lyrics, arranging, and producing—let us look forward to what kind of voyage she will embark upon in 2021.
is an album consisting of five songs that capture the step-by-step story of a person leaving to find an unknown world. Since sailing is often used as a metaphor for human life, the intention was to evoke a variety of interesting interpretations. Whether it is an autobiographical story, the perspective of someone listening to a storyteller, or whether the ending is happy or sad—those impressions are left to you, the listener.
1 Prologue
A free-form instrumental piece with no fixed structure, expressing through improvisation the moment until the protagonist of the grand story is discovered.
COMPOSED by Ahn Ye-eun / ARRANGED by Ahn Ye-eun / KEYS by Ahn Ye-eun
2 Let's Go
A song capturing the scenery of preparing to leave. A track that paints a grand and hopeful, bright picture through orchestral arrangement, adding musical theater elements.

3 Departure
A song about everyone gathering on the deck just before raising the anchor, vowing to achieve their respective dreams. The excitement of the scene is expressed through a moombahton rhythm, a heavy bassline, and string melodies dancing between them.

4 Voyage
A song that laments the despair of thinking, "Nothing in life ever goes my way," as if singing from aboard a ship. To create a contrasting atmosphere with track 3 "Departure," this song consists only of vocals and piano.

5 Shipwreck
The song that brings the album to a close. To ensure it didn't sound purely tragic, a cheerful jazz rhythm was added. The outro instrumental section was intentionally made long, hoping the listener would imagine a ship being caught in a vortex, breaking apart, and disappearing.
