ONEWE, the talented genius band, releases their first single album “MEMORY : illusion
ONEWE’s dreamy, warm, and emotional rock ballad, a fantasy in memory, is back with a bang
Memory is an illusion, and my illusion is my memory.
Boy band ONEWE will release their first single album “MEMORY : illusion” on December 11th.
ONEWE is a five-member talented band from RBW consisting of Yonghoon (vocals), Kanghyun (guitar), Haarin (drums), Dongmyung (keyboards, vocals), and CyA (keys/bass, rap), who have been showing a wide musical spectrum that is unique and limitless, and have been loved by many listeners and have shown themselves to be a self-proclaimed genius band. In particular, their first single album “MEMORY : illusion”, which is themed around the theme of memory, is an album that can convey a little warmth and comfort to the public who are tired of the corona blue era. As the members have participated and worked on all the songs they have released since their debut, this album is also full of their passion and efforts and boasts a high level of completion.
The first track, “TRAUMA (Aquarium),” was inspired by the trauma that member CyA experienced after falling into deep water, and it is an alternative rock song with CyA’s unique trendy colors that compares trauma to a relationship that has left her.
The second track, “A book in Memory,” is a self-written song inspired by a movie by member Yonghoon, and is a warm rock ballad with a distant perspective of ‘memory’ following their debut song “Reminisce about All. With a dreamy atmosphere, the song builds up towards the end with ONEWE’s unique band sound and guitar sound, capturing the story of the two of us like a novel.
The third track, “Memory Laundry (Eraser),” is written by ONEWE’s main producer Jeon Down. It is a song that CyA worked on together, and it captures the memories that we want to erase. The song is calm and restrained and talks about memories, but the contrast of the energetic and tight tempo shows a sense of longing to escape from the bondage of memories.
ONEWE’s first single album [MEMORY : illusion], which consists of a total of four tracks, including ‘A book in Memory (inst.)’, shows ONEWE’s more mature music. Through this album, ONEWE will once again showcase the unique and diverse music of ONEWE to the public.
1. TRAUMA (Aquarium)
Lyrics by CyA, Yonghoon / Composed by CyA, Yonghoon, Coco Doo Daddy(RBW) / Arranged by Coco Doo Daddy(RBW), Kanghyun, Harin, CyA
An event that evokes strong emotions creates trauma.
‘TRAUMA(Aquarium)’ is an alternative rock song that compares the trauma CyA experienced after falling into deep water to a relationship that left her. The intense and sensual arrangement is complemented by the colorful vocals and performances of each member. Based on the intense guitar sound, the song expresses the bends of the emotions contained in it well.
2. A book in Memory (A book in Memory)
Lyrics by Yonghoon, CyA / Composed by Yonghoon, JeonDown(RBW) / Arranged by JeonDown(RBW), Yonghoon
Our story, which was like a novel, remained in memory. The story of the two of them, starting from the end of the memory, was inscribed in print with countless emotions, but there were stories that could not be told yet, and the book could not be closed.
The story, which begins modestly with a lyrical piano and orchestra, realizes as it progresses that it is not a story that has passed in memory, but is always there, like the night and morning that come every day. Dramatic lyrics with a clear narrative arc are accompanied by a lavish orchestral sound and a powerful band that shines and draws you into the story
In your longing, where you stand, was it the last page?
Or was it the first page…
3. 기억 세탁소 (Eraser)
Lyrics by 전다운(RBW), CyA, 용훈 / Composed by 전다운(RBW), CyA / Arranged by 전다운(RBW)
Everyone has memories of love, happiness, sadness, and pain.
We all have memories that we wish we could erase.
Just as dirty laundry can always come back white, I wish memories could be easily erased.
Although the song talks about memories in a calm and restrained manner, the contrast of the energetic and tight tempo shows a sense of longing to escape from the shackles of memories. The visually imaginative lyrics resonate with those buried under a pile of memories.
