(4)Our Price: US$25.75Usually ships within 1 to 2 daysRelated promotions:February 23, 2010 Better then the restThe new album released by Tohoshinki’s Jejung and Yuchun is a refreshing step back from heavy base tracks and popular dance type genres that seem to be sweeping the world. The way this album is arranged visually all the way down to the music and the lyrics breaks the standard of what an album looks and feels like.
The songs on this album have artistically composed instrumentals and simple, clean, and crisp lyrics. In the first song Colors is a light song with easy to understand lyrics about continuing loving the world as well as trying hard and these actions will help you and the world around you. These lyrics convey a message seldom heard now in popular music and it is like a splash in the face to here such heartfelt lyrics conveying a truly pure message. Also with this song there is some wonderful Chun-glish (Yuchun English) that is full of emotion while keeping with Yuchun’s signature English style. Even if someone does not understand the lyrics it is a song that can be felt through the feeling the pair portray in the instrumentals and their exquisite singing. The song starts with a guitar playing a very simple relaxing tune that is a perfect preface for the song and the whole album. The second song in the album is Shelter, a song about losing love and wanting it back. This is the generic love with the soul mate’s twist on it. In the beginning of the song there is rain and trough out the song there are words and sounds that provide a visual throughout the song. This song is neither a desperate song nor a depressing song rather a song on reflection. In the beginning it is slow but builds tempo throughout.
The art work for this album is more simple and attractive than any other album or single released by TVXQ. The cover picture is just a picture of Jejung and Yuchun with half their faces breaking either edge. It is set on a simple black background with “magic paper” etches on it. Also the pamphlet is a tri-fold with one picture of Yuchun one of Jejung and one of both together. On the back of the tri-fold are the lyrics and credits. Also unlike most of the time Yuchun and Jejung don’t have any elaborate clothing or haircuts they look almost like how they would dress normally.
This album is unique because of its refreshing simplicity and true heartfelt songs that break the recent status-quo.
