Group Billlie puts a period on the grand narrative that has continued for four years and opens a new chapter.
Billlie on the 27th at 6 p.m. released the full audio of the pre-release single cloud palace ~ false awakening (클라우드 팰리스 ~ 펄스 어웨이크닝) through various music sites.
This single is the final piece and conclusion that crowns the 'palace' trilogy that Billlie has carried on for about four years, following the previously released mini 2nd album M◐◑N palace and mini 3rd album palace (Stroop effect). At the same time, it is an important link that heralds the prelude to the upcoming the collective soul and unconscious: chapter two.
Dedicated to the fandom Belllie've, this single uses the symbolic key of Billlie's sincere awakening encountered at the boundary between dream and reality.
The title track cloud palace is a track that exquisitely fuses dream pop, jazz and modern R&B. In particular, the intricate sound design that brings out an airy feel in the high range offers listeners a mysterious experience as if floating above the clouds.
The unexpected chord progressions hidden within the pop melody are Billlie's trademark. Maintaining tension with an unconventional development, it completes an intense three-minute daydream.
"In the countless mazes fogged / so many paths / deceive and hide me / the flowing second hand / even if it stops, branches / even if I lose my way again / even if it's like this / I want to meet you / trying to feel lucid"
The Before sunset live video released ahead of the audio release confirmed Billlie's solid skills. The unwavering live performance presented with the band arrangement amplified the song's cool yet beautiful atmosphere, delivering an immersive experience that stimulates both sight and hearing.
While not losing Billlie's distinctive "bizarre fairy tale" sensibility, this song reveals a more mature musical identity. Having successfully concluded the world they built over four years, expectations are growing for what new chapter they will unfold next.
