AILEE - HOME MV

[rand0m0ne.livejournal.com]

On October 4, Ailee held a showcase for her upcoming album “A New Empire,” and talked about her image and the theme for her new song!

The singer shared her thoughts on the popular girl group concept of being cute and fresh, saying, “There are a lot of cute concepts from girl groups nowadays, but I’m turning 28 this year. I don’t have the confidence to try a cute image, and it doesn’t fit with my personality so I don’t think I could do it. I feel more comfortable doing a concept that is gender neutral and powerful.”

Ailee also explained how her title track differs from her previous comeback songs, saying, “This time there are a lot of sentimental songs. Previously, it was always a song about confronting and scolding the other person, but this time I don’t criticize anyone.”

Her title track “Home” expresses the emotions of a lover who is sadly drawing up the memories of a relationship. Ailee’s voice suits the 808 base in the song, which also features singer and rapper Yoon Mi Rae.

Ailee’s album “A New Empire” is set to release on October 5.

It needs to grow on me but I'm just happy she moved on from U&I.

[goshipgurl.livejournal.com]

hdu U&I is a masterpiece

[staaan.livejournal.com]

lol i like u&i too but a lot of ppl seem to think of it as a 'bad' ailee release 😩

[goshipgurl.livejournal.com]

whaaaaat
U&I is my fav ailee song. i love the jazz feel.

[staaan.livejournal.com]

yeahh idgi either

i will show you and mind your own business are her only singles i don't listen to that much

[little-giant.livejournal.com]

I didn't dislike U&I, but i did dislike the fact her next three or so comebacks sounded like variations on that same song. I'm glad she is moving on from the U&I sound because it was becoming boring and repetitive

[iigoru.livejournal.com]

exactly

[4minutesluts.livejournal.com]

i still love U&I but completely agree

[violoncelliste.livejournal.com]

i almost gasped, that song is so good! Too bad people don't like it :

This is a nice change from her usual stuff, but Heaven still sits as her best single to date. Messy trap needs to die. The haircut looks great on Ailee and I want an al dance version because the most interesting parts of the video were the choreo (and water scenes in general)

YAS QUEEN SLAYYYYYYYYYY

preach it

Eh.

There's cute and then there's cringey. Considering Korea's tastes veer towards the latter though; I can sympathize with her.

I'd love a cute concept that doesn't make my eyes want to roll back to the back of my head or isn't hypersexualized. I'm sure there are some already but I either forgot them or don't know them.

Lion Heart had some of that, but it was mostly comedic.

i love this!!! haven't been feeling her most recent releases but this shit slayed me!

i just hate her timing with this comeback and the album being released at the same time as shinee's is not the best move :/

[torontok.livejournal.com]

Not an instant grower but I love that she's using her voice differently and with a more subtle effect than the screaming high notes in her last few songs. Queen Tasha's rap was amazing.
Also wow, Ailee's body is sick.Her floor dance scenes, good lord.

YAS i love it!

[adenar.livejournal.com]

i like the song!
i hope it's a lot more up the korean public's alley and that it charts successfully!

[kary1591.livejournal.com]

It's growing on me but I'm loving the rest of the album!

[kyokomurasaki.livejournal.com]

AILEESUS AND MIRAESUS

[lovebyelove.livejournal.com]

It's such a nice change. I like her past singles, but sometimes her singing was screeching and overbearing. This seems more subtle and using her different vocal abilities.

Are videos from 1thek region locked?

[yw7.livejournal.com]

i am a FAN! of this song. yes ailee!

[bloodtaki2.livejournal.com]

I'm glad she's going for a different sound this comeback. I find the chorus a bit underwhelming, but I can see myself listening to this again, it sounds perfect for when i'm reading a book. Also, she looks amazing.

I love it!

thanks for the gr8 birthday gift, ailee

[pineepie.livejournal.com]

Happy birthday! :)

[noonakaia.livejournal.com]

Queen Ailee delivers once again, I like the song so far and the aesthetic is gorgeous imo, love the short hair on her <3

[pineepie.livejournal.com]

This song sounds really nice, i like it!

[funga-fufu.livejournal.com]

Hmm I think I have to listen to it again bc I'm not into it. I'm kinda tired of trap, it's being used so much. The guitar + Tasha's rap was amazing though! Plus Ailee's hair and make up, damn. So good.

[benihime99.livejournal.com]

As always with Ailee I like her voice, I like her styling, I overall like the song but I feel like she's always "late" to the party, it always looks to me like she's trying on someone else's shoes
She doesn it nicely but not as nicely as the original

[ashdevilrun23.livejournal.com]

so pretty the visuals the song QUEEN TASHA i love it

[dot-rose.livejournal.com]

I like it. It's nice and chill. I'm glad it's different from her previous singles.

[jaeslurpy.livejournal.com]

i love it. ugh its so good. i gotta go listen to the album now.

[purekpopology.livejournal.com]

I like the song, but my favorite part of the MV was all her great lipsticks!!

[dio-elaclaire.livejournal.com]

i like it! both the song and mv!

[xoxkenzxox.livejournal.com]

I really want to like her. She has amazing vocals and is beautiful but none of her songs are my style.
