Big Mama Vol. 2 - It's Unique

YesAsia Editorial Description

Bigger is Better!

K-pop's probably most outstanding female R&B quartet Big Mama is back. Gifted with exceptional vocal skills, they invite all music lovers to another round of pure musical excitement via Unique new songs!

Offering you their intense 14-track follow up LP to '03's smash debut album Like the Bible their new ambitious release was produced by the band's leading Big Mama Shin Yeon Ah. Big Mama's other talented members also spared no efforts completing over half of the new songs by themselves. As a result, music lovers can enjoy such engaging tunes as the mellow ballad "Woman" (track 5) that reflects women's sorrow and loneliness and the Jazz-beat inspired "Girls' talk" (track 8) as well as the Big girls' groovy soul delight "The Day". Other recommendable tracks include "Let's get married" (track 9) that is heavy on Bossa Nova sounds and the energetic R&B dance tune "Again". Fans should also check out Shin Yeon Ah's powerful solo performance for "Fly Away" (track 6) that mixes new age and pop music with a gust of oriental flair.

"It's Unique" and refreshing, and certainly another musical surprise not only for supporters of Big Mama!

2005년 대중들이 가장 기대하는 가수, 빅마마가 그들의 2집을 발표한다. 음악계에서 소문난 노래꾼 4명을 모아 오직 음악의 힘만으로 승부한 빅마마는 뛰어난 가창력과 실력으로 1집 앨범 발매 이후 2년여의 시간이 흘렀음에도 여전히 대중들의 절대적인 지지를 받고 있는 것이다. 이는 2003년 빅마마가 단 한 장의 앨범으로 대중들이 오랫동안 잊고 있었던 ‘노래의 힘’을 실현시키고 음악계를 넘어 사회적인 화제를 불러일으켰던 것과 일맥상통한다고 할 수 있다.

1집 앨범 발표 후 2년 3개월 만에 2집 앨범 [It’s Unique]를 세상에 내놓은 빅마마는 2집 앨범에서 자신들이 직접 만든 음악 속에 자신의 생각을 불어넣어 1집보다 더욱 뚜렷하게 빅마마 만의 색깔을 만들어낸다. 그리고 그 노래 속에는 자신이 하고 싶은 이야기들을 진솔하게 표현하는 여성 그 자체로서의 모습(Woman Being)이 담겨 있다. 또한 [It’s Unique]는 빅마마의 멤버들이 앨범 제작을 주도했다. 빅마마의 큰언니 신연아가 앨범의 전체 프로듀싱을 맡은 것은 물론, 앨범 수록곡의 반 이상을 빅마마 멤버들이 직접 작곡했고, 대부분의 곡을 작사했다. 지난 2월 2집 발표 직전 이미 제작된 앨범의 전량 폐기 처분이라는 극단의 조치를 취했던 것도 프로듀서로 참여한 빅마마 멤버들의 의견이 반영된 것이었다. 결과적으로 전체 앨범은 물론 한 곡 한 곡의 완성도를 중요시한 빅마마 멤버들의 노력과 열정이 가득한 빅마마 2집 [It’s Unique]이 탄생할 수 있었다.

앨범 타이틀 [ It's unique ]에서 알 수 있듯, 한 곡 한 곡이 모두 독특하고 특별한(unique) 빅마마의 2집 앨범은 다양해진 멤버들의 음악적 역량을 보여준다. 타이틀 곡 ‘여자’를 비롯, ‘소리’와 ‘외길’과 같은 발라드부터 1집의 ‘Break Away’를 잇는 ‘The Day’와 같은 미디엄 템포의 R&B곡들은 전작보다 더욱 깊고 진해진 빅마마의 가창력을 보여준다. 특히 첫번째 타이틀곡 ‘여자’에서는 진하게 감정이 베인 빅마마의 목소리를 통해 비장미가 넘친다고 할 정도로 짙고 강한 목소리로 슬픔과 외로움을 호소하는 여자의 모습을 그려내고 있다. 그리고, 재즈 스타일로 편곡된 ‘처녀들의 수다’, 보사노바 풍의 ‘결혼할까요’와 본격적인 빅마마식 R&B 댄스곡이라 할 수 있는 ‘Again'과 ’시작‘은 뛰어난 가창력의 빅마마로만 생각했던 대중들에게 빅마마의 새로운 모습을 발견하도록 만들 것이다. 또한 앨범 프로듀서인 신연아의 솔로곡 ’날아오르다‘는 동양적인 색채가 가득한 사운드로 마치 뉴에이지 음악과 편안함과 신비로움을 전달, 보다 넓어진 빅마마의 음악적인 세계를 담아낸다.

They need to enter the American market! Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
Yes indeed, WOW!! There are many good singer and great singers...but Big Mama are one of those groups that you will see once in like half a century or so. This group needs to be seriously hit the American market...honestly, they are better than most American divas of today...best since Aretha Franklin, Diana Ross, Patti Labelle, Gladys Knight...

Okay. the 2nd album is very different from the 1st album, which was more of soul/R&B...but this 2nd album has better production and the vocal arrangements are exceptional...

Ji-young Lee (the one w/ low/husky voice) is Amazing!!

Korea should be proud of Big Mama~

Wow just WOW Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
I personally liked their first album better but this album is just "WOW!" Their voices are AMAZING. They can't compare to some of the "singers" that are in the Korean music industries these days. They truly DESERVE to be getting so much more attention for their talent. This is DEF recommended from me. Their voices, songs are just mind blowing.
