ifeye 3rd EP
“What if our imaginations became reality?”
ifeye unfolds a world of infinite imagination through its third EP. This album, which started with the two letters ‘what if’, took as its theme the questions that everyone has asked over and over in their mind at least once. The exciting feeling of love that I only had in my heart, the emotions that passed by in a split second, and even another story that might have unfolded if I had made a different choice. IF-I elegantly weaves the fragmented emotions that were only in our imaginations with luxurious and colorful sounds and brings them into our reality.
A new world created with IFI's unique colors amidst countless stories created by imagination. Those infinite moments of imagination begin under the name now.
1. I’ll Be There
It is an emotional R&B song that captures the moment when two people who meet as if by fate become absorbed into each other and become inevitable. The vocals flowing over the soft melody and deep groove delicately depict the sincere promise, “I will always be by your side.” It sings of the overwhelming feeling of a moment when a relationship that started by chance becomes clear that it is fate, and conveys the warmth of finally becoming one through connected hearts.
2. Hazy (Daisy) *[Title]
This is a pop track that exquisitely combines energetic Drum & Bass rhythm with a mellow, easy listening sensibility. The excitement of falling in love is compared to ‘Hazy’, and the sincerity of shyly but confidently raising one’s head is compared to a flower called ‘Daisy’. The sweet vocal line that contrasts with the swirling beat dramatically shows the beginning of love that eventually blooms after hesitation, and clearly imprints IFI's luxurious yet dreamy identity.
3. Padam Padam
Based on modern pop sounds, the girls' free and honest deviations are presented in a cheerful way. It starts with a heavy 808 bass and a lo-fi textured verse, and the contrast between the bouncing guitar riff and danceable rhythm in the chorus is excellent. In particular, the members directly participated in the song's story, adding liveliness to it, and the addictive melody, which is unforgettable once you hear it, gives you the pleasure of swimming freely in your imagination.
4.Touch
It is a warm ballad song that combines acoustic guitar and synth-pop sensibilities. The texture of the synths piled on top of the simple guitar strokes creates a deeper sense of immersion as the song progresses. It sings of the strong friendship between friends who comfort each other and comfort each other, and the emotional lines of the chorus that are delivered explosively in the restrained arrangement leave a long lasting impression.
5.Forever Us
This song started with the question, “What would it be like if I lived a life other than that of an idol?” It contains the members' honest and calm confessions that were hidden behind the flashy lights on stage. This song is a tribute to the ‘ifory’ who always show unconditional love at the same place, and it reminds me of the climax of singing in unison with fans at a concert. This marks the finale of the album, promising a story that will continue in the future, as well as the time that IFi and Lee Po-ri have written together.
