Choi Jin Yi Mini Album

YesAsia Editorial Description

Recently, Choi Jin Yi, the female lead vocalist of Rumble Fish, has been surrounded by media buzz and fan speculation over her solo singing career. Laying all the rumors to rest, Choi releases her first solo mini album, much to the delight of her fans who have been rooting for their favorite Rumble Fish since the group's debut in 2004. Pushing for a more pop ballad style, Choi's mini album has the fingerprints of Han Sang Won all over it. Han, a renowned composer whose earlier hits include Bada's V.I.P, Park Ji Heon's Bogo ship eun nal en, and Choi Hyun Joon's Na yi jen, repeats his magic in the principal track Noon boo shin nal ("Shiny Day" - Track 1) featuring the signature soft pop rock sounds of Rumble Fish. Also included in the album is Requiem, a cover of Japanese singer/pianist Angela Aki's hit Fragments of Solitude featuring Isu of M.C. the Max. The song is taken from Cho's joint single album of the same name which was released in January 2008.

Rumble Fish의 수호천사 최진이
솔로 데뷔 싱글 전격 발매!!

2004년 이전 한국가요계에서는 만날 수 없었던 그루브한 팝 ‘예감좋은 날’로 대중들의 호응을 얻었던 ‘럼블피쉬’의 홍일점 최진이가데뷔 4년만에 솔로 활동의 신호탄격인 첫번째 싱글앨범을 발매한다. 이미 올해 초 MC. The Max의 이수와 싱글앨범 ‘레퀴엠’을 발표. 온라인에서 높은 판매고를 올리며 솔로 로의 변신을 예고했던 ‘최진이’는 데뷔 4년차의 뮤지션 답지 않게 솔로활동에 대한 설레임과 고민이 교차하는 순간순간 속에서 최고의 음반을 만들기 위해 이번 앨범작업에 심혈을 기울였다.

럼블피쉬를 대변하는 소프트 팝락스타일과 레퀴엠을 통해 최진이의새로운보컬소화력을확인할수있었던마이너발라드스타일을컨셉으로바다의“V.I.P”, 박지현의“보고싶은 날엔”, 최현준의“나이젠” 등의 곡으로 가요계의 마이더스 손으로 급부상한 작곡가 “한상원”과 곡 작업을 하는 등 럼블피쉬의 최진이를기대하는팬들과새로운최진이를기대하는기존가요팬들을만족시킬수있는앨범을완성하였다. 총 3곡의 수록곡 중 타이틀곡이 된 한상원작편.곡의 “눈부신 날”은 대중들의 귀를 자극하는 강력한 훅을 지닌 한상원의멜로디메이킹실력과럼블피쉬스타일의소프트팝락적인 편곡이잘가미된곡으로 눈이 부신 봄날 이별을 맞이해야하는 여자의 슬픔을 노래하고있다. 럼블피쉬와의 ‘예감 좋은 날’들을 못지않게 더 많은 대중들과 함께 호흡하고 노래하는 “눈부신 날’을 맞이하기 위해 솔로로 나선 최진이의 첫번째 미니앨범에 귀를 기울여보자.

Potentially Potent Customer Review Rated Bad 6 - 6 out of 10
Choi Jin Yi of Rumble Fish breaks out onto her own to present us with her very first mini-album.
Sounds promising, and the music is pretty good. She plays around with a bit more of a poppy feel, but the material really keeps the Rumble Fish sound throughout. It could be just that her voice is so powerful that she will always make me think of Rumble Fish, or it could be that she didn't feel quite comfortable enough to really branch out just yet.
Either way, I'm just the slightest bit disappointed. I was hoping for something very original and unique. What she gave us is still very good, but still screams of her bandmates.
One of the tracks is a cover of Angela Aki's 'Kodoku no Kakera' that is rather pathetic. It's performed as a duet with Isu of M.C. the Max, and vocally is fine indeed. The problem is that they grabbed Angela Aki's single and just sang overtop of the track. There is no deviation from the original composition or arrangement in any way. They took a fantastic track, that could really have worked, and cheapened it with unoriginality. Aki's work could provide a goldmine of material for a voice like Choi Jin Yi's, but I'd really be most interested to see her put her own unique spin on the work.
After that rather upsetting track, the rest of the mini-album is filled with instrumental versions of the first three tracks, bringing the total track count to 7. To me, that feels pretty cheap for some reason. Now, if the release had been labeled and sold as a 'single', it would be fine and dandy to have instrumentals all over the place. But the title of 'mini album' clearly left me expecting more substance.
After all that negativity, you'd think I'd say to stay away from this release, but actually, as an occasional listen it is pretty pleasant. I just think that Choi Jin Yi has a lot of potential left in her, and I'd really like to see her tap into it.
