Blueming - 아이돌로지 Idology 1st Listen
Kim Yoonha
I’d say Jung Yonghwa’s songwriting, which seemed on-and-off to give the "stamp of approval,” was stably established around the time he released his solo album early last year. Connecting ‘One Fine Day’ to ‘Cinderella’ and ‘You’re So Fine’ produces a vivid portrait of “easy-listening songwriting that can tailor to various themes.” The upbeat tune fits the season of spring and creates a feel-good groove by combining his signature, simple yet memorable melodies and everyday words. The album includes tracks reminiscent of rock ballad hits by Brit-pop bands such as Oasis, and it’s also fun to try and guess which members — Lee Jonghyun and Lee Jungshin — composed which styles of music.

The previous release ‘Cinderella’ fell under the genealogy of rocker duo/summer dance tunes that adapted Japanese influences; one could say this formula of combining wholesome ‘ikemen(handsome)’ with the season is at play once again. In expressing their gentler version of the masculine perspective, despite some traces of stereotyping — “males are like this, females are like that” —, they took the care to sensitively sort out the issues such as weight loss and attire (which have often caused blunders from others) further strengthening their character. I’m impressed how, in the flood of “Hongdae-style” and spring tunes, they borrowed each of their elements yet still managed to hit that narrow balance without spilling into one side. It's been my pet theory that CNBLUE and Jung Yonghwa have the potential to create good pop-gayo. They have no reason to be bogged down by the framework of rock band — especially, if the relatively rock-oriented non-title tracks are resorting to the old-style rock favored by the elders. Of course, if they really wanna make that kind of music, that’s all that matters.

분명히 평이 좋아졌어요.
다만, 정용화의 송라이팅에 대해서는... 김윤하씨는 과연 어디까지 들어보신 것일까 싶기는 합니다. 일본 활동을 모르진 않으시던데. 그걸 포함할 경우, 확정 마크는 늦어도 Code Name Blue 앨범에 났어야 하는게 아닐까요.
이 분들이 퍼즐을 들으면 뭐라 할지도 좀 궁금해지는.
어쨌거나, 묵묵히 또 이렇게 인식을 바꾸어가는 뮤지션! 멋져요^^ -
일본앨범은 안 들어 보셨을꺼 같은데요^^아닌가?ㅋㅋ

예전 리뷰를 보면 일본에서 입지 다진 언급을 했었거든요. 그냥 보도자료 한 줄 보고 한 얘긴가?...

I think the reviewers are so on point with what Yong Hwa and the other CNBLUE members are heading in terms of their compositions. I'm happy they recognise his style and potential and agrees that they should not be pigeon holed into just doing rock.
-
I love YH's music ... always refreshing & interesting. Full of anticipation each time ... I just wish there more his individual/personal interviews/talks for him to share about the songs he made. Always find more interesting details in his personal/individual interviews. Am glad reviewers start to pay more serious attention to his music.

So true, Yongwa has the ability to write a variety of genres, being a musical prodigy. He has the talent for that, since Can't stop album he prove it. I'm glad he receive day by day more recognition for that, especially in Korea.
