Product Information / Track List
韓國「狎鷗亭系」時尚潮流達人「W樂團」
睽違三年 全新創作專輯
W&Whale 首張專輯「沸騰點」
urban R&B、Modern Folk、80年代New Wave、House
調和出"偉大失敗者輕快旋律"的音樂結晶
--文學和浪漫的衝突相遇
調和出"偉大失敗者的輕快旋律"的音樂結晶
…..這樣的W樂團 VS 女主唱Whale
等你來發掘他們的音樂新風味！
※「我叫金三順」、「不良家族」、「順其自然」電視原聲帶音樂總監「W樂團」
※收錄GTV韓劇「順其自然」電視原聲帶主題曲《月狂》
※首波推薦輕快搖滾夢幻曲風《R.P.G. Shine》
※特別介紹全新女主唱 想要成為韓國「女版John mayer」的Whale
對W樂團有一定熟悉度的樂迷們，應該不難發現此張專輯的不同之處，主唱從原來的「男聲(金相勳-Bass)」變成了「女聲(Whale)」。透過FLUXUS音樂廠牌主辦的試音會而被發掘的女主唱Whale，將專輯內所收錄的各式曲風，以強而有力又有藍調感覺的嗓音消化的淋漓盡致。而她的夢想更是要成為「韓國的女約翰梅爾(John mayer)」。
專輯整體則是來自於像Wolf Schneider的「偉大的失敗者」或是朴民奎（音譯）的「Sammi Superstars最後的粉絲俱樂部」等這類作品。他們透過專輯內時而強烈，時而又像好朋友一樣親密的歌曲(《我們的快樂結局》、《哥哥回來了.》)述說出專輯整體想要傳達的意念。總而言之，W&Whale在此張專輯裡找到了Electronica曲風和流行音樂的接點。不低調也不過於華麗，不誇張又直接的詞曲，應該就是會讓人不斷回味，久久無法忘懷的原因吧！

The first time I listened to W&Whale's "Hardboiled" album, I must admit that I wasn't much impressed. Most of their songs are built on light, jazzy R&B grooves and the group seemed more enamored with those grooves than with developing memorable melodies. However, with each subsequent hearing, I have been warming up to this album and now can recommend it with real enthusiasm. Track 2, the album's first song, gets the project off to a great start; it is a snappy, jazz-tinged R&B wonder topped by a brassy sound from singer Whale. The album then takes us through a wide range of sounds (mostly, but not always, R&B-based). Whale is a real treat. She can be sassy; she can be sweet. And her phrasing is so strong that her voice drives both melody and rhythm. She also penned the album's finest ballad, the aptly named "Whale Song". The band's playing is crisp, clever, and precise throughout. It may have taken me a while to warm up to this band, but I now am eager to hear what comes next from this talented crew. |

This is a great album! I absolutely love W&Whale's song “R.P.G. (Rocket Punch Generation) and straightaway when I first heard it from the K-movie “Hell Cats” earlier this year. It’s beat rhythm so stays in your head and is one of the best Korean pop songs to date. In fact “R.P.G.” should be a No 1 Korean classic! At the time I saw “Hell Cats” this album wasn’t available and I only had “R.P.G” from the “Hell Cats” OST. But I recently spotted “Hardboiled” in the Korean Yesasia chart and immediately bought it. For one, the album also featured a second version of the “R.P.G” track alongside the main one featured in the HC film. Thankfully, “R.P.G.” isn’t the only one hit wonder from this very varied funky electronic lounge album as “Hardboiled” is just an absolute gem. As far as I can see this is W&Whale’s debut album and a very electric one, too. Sound wise the band are quite reminiscent of fellow stable mates Loveholic in style and this CD features very light and easy listening songs full of pleasant and catchy melodies to sink into. Themes are up tempo and melancholic blends. The song styles range from lounge/rhythmic funk style, funky disco-electronic, touching guitar and piano ballads (“Whale Song” is just brilliant and there’s even a K-drama sad ballad, too, with track 13). Additionally the album features two funky 80s synth and light electronic pop songs (track 8 and 9) when mid way the album gets a bit more synth pop than lounge/funk. But no matter what the style – this album just shines class! Highlighted ditties for me are “R.P.G.” (both versions), “Whale Song”, “Stardust”, “Morning Star”, track 8, “Too Young To Die”, “Dear My Friend”, but this whole album is such a high polished production that all songs are gems. Songs are also interpolated with some interesting sounds /dialogues/ music etc with the “McGuffin” pieces. A very highly recommended CD. Absolutely brilliant! A great band and a quality album to treasure in your collection. Certainly a must for all Loveholic fans. And I’m sure that I’m understating this album, too! |
