Global Sensation Miyeon Returns with 'MY, Lover', Showcasing Deeper Autumnal Emotions
Miyeon, a member of the globally acclaimed group (G)I-DLE, has made her highly anticipated solo comeback with her second mini-album, ‘MY, Lover’, released on the 3rd, marking her return after three years and six months.
While her first solo album, ‘MY’, captured her identity through its title and meaning, the new album ‘MY, Lover’ delves into the profound emotions of autumn centered around the theme of 'love.' If the previous album exuded the refreshing and dynamic energy of spring and summer, this new release focuses on emotional depth, shedding vocal intensity to paint a serene autumn mood.
The title track, ‘Say My Name’, delicately portrays the complex feelings that arise after a breakup. Miyeon masterfully conveys the song's emotional arc with her signature precise vocal technique. The pre-release single, ‘Reno’, showcases a different facet of her artistry, exploring the transformation of love into obsession with a raw and sharp vocal delivery.
Structurally, the album unfolds as a cohesive narrative across its seven tracks, offering a captivating emotional journey when listened to in sequence. Miyeon's clear yet subtly husky vocal tone proves to be a distinct advantage, enabling her to express complex emotions and setting her apart with a unique artistic color.
At the showcase, Miyeon shared her strong desire to improve her singing, confessing, “I practiced a lot because I was nervous before going on stage.” This dedication, evident even after eight years in the industry, underscores her unwavering commitment. Her sincerity, fully embodied in ‘MY, Lover’, is expected to resonate deeply with fans.
Fans reacted enthusiastically to anecdotes about Miyeon's vocalizations being heard backstage before the showcase, commenting, "Even her practice voice is legendary," "Miyeon's vocal tone is truly unparalleled," and "I want the digital release soon to listen every day."
