Lucid (루시드) — Feel Better MV

Lucid (루시드) — Like Candy (School) MV

Group: Lucid Album Title: Back To School Concept: School/Sport Songs: 6 Album Type: Mini Album Label: Double Kill Records

After many rumours of possible disbandment, Lucid has released their album, ‘Back To School’. The dual concept album introduces the mixture of school and sports, which is perfect for the fall season while their fans are returning to their studies. Both title songs ‘Like Candy’ and ‘Feel Better’ boast bright concepts, yet the girls were still able to give a different feel for both songs. Where ‘Like Candy’ is able to capture a unique and cutesy feel in a classroom environment, ‘Feel Better’ is more of a dance song that expresses a more sporty feel for those in their extra curricular activities. The girls of Lucid are back with a bang to kick those disbandment rumours aside, proving that they’re sill as strong as ever!

Tracklist

01. Like Candy * [School]

02. Feel Better * [Sport]

03. Thoughts

04. Catch My Mind

05. Hurry and Tell Me

KOEMI RELEASES MV FOR TITLE TRACK “BEAUTIFUL”

Following the release of Koemi’s comeback album “This Love,” the well anticipated MV for Beautiful stirred many emotions upon it’s release. The MV features several well known faces as actors and actresses, both from 2K and other companies, further helping carry the underlying message of the song.

In a V-Live Koemi had held to release the album earlier, she spoke of how she had personally wanted a lot of helping hands with this album, to create a special bond over it with several people. Specifically, she spoke of how she had completely produced the song “Beautiful” by herself, which is something she is still learning to do. She continued by saying a few other songs were produced all on her own as well.

Koemi explained she wanted her actors faces in the MV more than her own so others may focus on the theme of the song more. During her live, she explained the song, along with the whole album, is supposed to help carry positive messages of self-love. 

“In a world where we are too critical and depend too much on other people’s words, I want this song to be the message others may need that it doesn’t always have to be this way. You can love yourself and still be beautiful. You don’t have to listen to what people online or across the street say. The most important love is your own love.”

Koemi added that in her album’s photobook she listed extensive credits to whom helped with the album, and the MV, creating an entire list for the actors: ✱ ACE of  HΞLL!ON  ✱ KOKORO of CREEP ( @denovment ) ✱ SOO of CREEP ( @soohae ) ✱ JUNI of MELLOW ( @ljuhuis ) ✱ COSMO of UTOPIA ( @cosmojnkyu ) ✱ JULIET of PARAGON ( @namjus ) ✱ GALE of V.O.D 

Along with an actors list, she also gave special credit to David Choi ( @daviscre ), whom helped with filming the MV.

Earlier this morning, while hosting a special V-Live broadcast, Koemi released her well anticipated comeback album “This Love,” coupled with a beautiful MV for the title track. In the live, she explained that she had a lot of care and hard work put into this album as a whole, and had a lot of helping hands to make it that much more special, and had even gone to explain special meanings behind certain songs, or behind the scenes stories.

The album is an 10 track album with one special bonus track, the underlying message from each song being centered around all different types of love. Koemi went to explain, “Love isn’t just black and white. It’s not something like ‘I love this person, so I’m going to be with them.’ It’s a whole greyscale. Love can be with others, with friends, family, pets, or even yourself. There’s accepted love, lost love, unrequited love…and I wanted to capture all of that, so there’s at least one song someone can truly feel connected to.”

Koemi went to explain that she had a handful of help through each song’s creating, and explained that the photobook that will come with the album has a large personal credits section thanking each person for their help, from lyrics, to producing, to even photography.

For Lyrics, I want to thank Gemi ( @jemmio ) for her help with “My Way,” and I want to thank Rien ( @hiendrae ) for help with “Together” and “WIshful Thinking.”

“My Way” was a different style of music than something I usually do, and Gemi was the perfect help to capture exactly what I was hoping for. She had also helped with backtrack for the song. I feel that if I hadn’t had help from such a talented woman, than the song would be nothing like it is now.

Interestingly enough, the help I received from Rien for “Together” was actually months of texts between us, coupled together and re-worded slightly to create an entire song. It started out as fun, but soon enough, it became the song it is now. Had I not had his help, I don’t think the song would even exist.

For backtracks, those familiar names pop up again. Along with helping with “My Way,” Gemi also took part and helped produce “GAME OVER” and the bonus track “STOP!” She had created the back music entirely, and i merely added lyrics to it. A large, warmhearted thank you is especially needed for RIen, as he had a helping hand with almost every song. He truly is a natural, and I’m blessed to have his help with making sure every song is produced perfectly.  A special thanks also belongs to Cola ( @dyetcola ) for his help on “Lost Comet.” I was very excited to work with his style of music, and he didn’t disappoint one bit.

I would also like to thank my film team, and specifically David ( @daviscre ) for helping with each teaser photo and the filming of the MV and teasers. He has quite the touch with a camera.

Each feature for each song deserves a thank you as well. They had all taken time to work with me to create beautiful music for everyone.

Soo shows her support with a performance at SPICED’s annual charity event. 

The idol who recently made her solo comeback took to the stage and performed a total of four songs: ‘Keep Moving’ ‘Play Time’ ‘The Best’ and ‘Change’ the song that was released a few days before her comeback. It is also rumored that the idol donated a sum of money to the event herself, though the amount has not been reported since she is trying to keep it all under wraps. 

After her performance, Soo was seen meeting with fans, taking pictures and giving autographs. The CREEP member was also seen mingling alongside the other idols who attended and performed showcasing her friendship with the variety of idols. It’s great to see the young idol finally finding her place among the scene.
