Bol4 ahn jiyoung interview about latest single, workaholic

Ahn Jiyoung, the vocalist of Bol4, said in her latest magazine interview to the reporter: I think 25 is an vague age, where I'm not young nor old by society standard. My friend, one by one is graduated from college and now try to find a job or preparing themselves to the real world. So that makes me to think it's an age where I need to try new music, a phase that I should go and experience. I made an album with the idea that it's okay if you only know half about the world and not knowing all could be a blessing. And even if the time now is hard, it will pass. There will be a moment <for you> to shine. 

However, people begin to criticize "the self-replicating", because of the repeating or similar musical styles that bol4 has done before this past years. Yet, in this comeback, Bol4 has significantly change in this album. Breaking away from traditional acoustic pops, the music spectrum has been expanded to include rock, hip-hop and electronic sound. The outfit of tem who previously more girly-ish, is now also more sophisticated and looks mature. Ahn jiyoung who had her hair always blonde, is now changed to more fragrant color, the mint one.

The new attempt was made not only because of the talks of self-replicating sound / similar music style, but rather the urge to simply want a change as a musician. Ahn Jiyoung said that she want it to be new and more fun for the fans. The fans might be flustered with this current change from her lates song, "workaholic". Some people might be surprised and say, "Is this bol4's music?" I think it will be an opportunity for us to decide our musical path, according to how well the public will accept this album.


Woo Jiyoon said that the album two five, more than just to remember being 25 years old, it also indicated the change of their own music. The second chapter for their five stories. The album describe the changes of Bol4's music to a new chapter.

The title song "Workaholic" is a message to tired workers/employee. It's also the story of Bol4 who hold on to music tightly. Unlike previous bright and cute songs, Ahn Jiyoung voice deepens above the heavy beat and rich sound. Ahn jiyoung said This time I got a grip on it a lot. She said it's my new way, that I used to do while at home, but when I look in the mirror, my face looks crumbly and crumbly. I wanted to convey a message to those who love to work and passionate about what they love to do today, to never be frustrated with reality, as hard as it will get, it will pass.

It's always a burden to release new album. It's half exciting, half nervious and worried at the same time. This time, it's more meaningful because it capture the story of us, the change of bol4. If the people who listened to this song can gain strength and feel like it, I think we could be satisfied with just that. We hope that our song can go together with the current youth feeling, so when people look back later on about their youth, Bol4 might be a part of their life.

Kpop song to listen when you feel depressed

It isn't a secret anymore that South Korea is among other country which high suicide ranking in the world, looking at how competitive their society are and the pressured about maintaining good image and beautiful/handsome looks took a toll of a person. As a musician and singer, some of them address this mental health issues to a song, other create a song from their own experience.

Compare to song list from Shinee member, Jonghyun, The Collection: Story Op.2, consisting popular track like "Lonely" feat Taeyeon and "let me out", this song will give you a slight of hope. What makes it different? Because the lyrics/message is reflected an experience of having a depression phase, yet the struggle to break all that harsh moment for an uncertainty of tomorrow. While Jonghyun's song "let me out" seems like a lost of the fight, a surrender of our misery. I don't want you to feel like that.

In this opportunity I would like to suggest you a wonderful soothing Kpop song to listen when you feel depressed. Hopefully this will make you feel a bit better. Check it out Bol4: To My Youth below:


To My Youth (English Translation)
Lyrics


At some point in my life

I used to wish that I could disappear from this world
The whole world seemed so dark I cried every night
I was so afraid
Will my mind feel at ease If I just disappeared Of everyone’s eyes on me
I hated myself for not being able to receive love
During those beautifully beautiful days I was in pain My mum and dad They’re only looking at me This is not how I really feel
Was really true for me
But I keep getting further away What do I do What do I do What do I do What do I do The saying that time is medicine As the days went by
Those beautifully beautiful memories
I really did get better But sometimes when I’m too happy I’m afraid I’ll be in pain again I’m afraid that someone Will take away my happiness Were so painful
But I keep getting further away
I hurt to the point where I could hurt no more But the pain wouldn’t go away My friends all these people They’re only looking at me This is not how I really am But still maybe I could be
Because if I keep trying to stand up like this
A bright light in this world Maybe after all of that pain I could shine a light Even if it’s short So I couldn’t give up The me that couldn’t fall asleep peacefully for a single night I might be able to find myself
How much, how much, how much did I hope for it
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah How painful must it have been
How painful must it have been
