Sunmi's shocking transformation worked.
At 6 p.m. on the 5th, Sunmi's first full-length album "HEART MAID" was released on various music sites. At the same time, the title track "CYNICAL" and its music video were also released.
The title track "CYNICAL" is a song that asks those who face the world with a cynical attitude, "WHY SO CYNICAL?", and its electronic synth riff and hooky chorus combine to maximize Sunmi's distinctive wit and ironic charm.
Completed with visuals and performances that evoke horror comedy in the music video, the song shows Sunmi's musical world where humor and warmth coexist even in a cynical reality. After a chance accident leads to Sunmi's death, just before going to the afterlife with the grim reaper, the way she wanders through reality brings an inexplicable laugh.
As befits her first full-length album, this album contains a total of 13 tracks, and Sunmi participated in writing, composing and producing all the songs, revealing her role as a singer-songwriter. The album, completed to a high standard under Sunmi's hand, is filled with diverse genres ranging from intensely performative tracks to retro-sentiment synth-pop dance songs, band sounds and ballads.
"Why so cynical, cynical, cynical/ Just relax, why that face?/ Why so cynical, cynical, cynical/ Smile, smile like this"
In the lyrics, "Why so cynical, cynical, cynical" is repeated, creating an earworm-like hook. In particular, the new song performance revealed in the music video draws attention for its bizarre yet continually eye-catching unique choreography.
Sunmi released her first full-length album 18 years after her debut and chose a performance track that is the complete opposite of the solo hit songs she had shown so far as the title track. With each album, Sunmi has pioneered her own path with shocking aspects that far exceed expectations, and "CYNICAL" can be heard on various music sites starting at 6 p.m. today (the 5th).
