【E】 선우정아의 시선. [불꽃놀이] Sunwoo Jung-A's perspective, [Fireworks]

I’m not sure since when, but there was a theme song that I had created organically by myself. Though the big picture was there, it was incomplete. Around the time winter arrived, I retrieved it for some reason and worked on the sound a bit more. While wondering who I could sing this duet with, I thought of Jung Yonghwa. I enjoyed listening to his solo album and he had also mentioned my name in interviews, but more than anything, his moist, breezy, and elastic voice seemed it would go well with it. I only told my family and the head of agency, but it was embarrassing. He might feel intimidated, I thought… But shortly later, he contacted me first, which caught me by such a surprise. Upon hearing that I wanted to request a duet, an abrupt, but exciting, “double collaboration(?)” took off. 

First, we wrote the lyrics to Jung Yonghwa’s song ‘Breath(Hello)’ together and recorded the song. From the theme to detailed choice of words, every part of writing the lyrics was shared together. My song ‘Fireworks’ was completed in a breeze after receiving the bridge part that Jung Yonghwa composed and recorded with his keyboard. It’s not an easy task to fill the space of a song that already has many parts of it drawn out, but Jung Yonghwa’s lyrics, chords, and the melody fit in seamlessly. On the day he came to record ‘Fireworks,’ I liked what he was playing on the guitar in the studio during the break, so I bluntly made a request. He didn’t even have his own instrument, and it wasn’t prepared beforehand, but he willingly and happily played the instrument. I was really grateful.

I felt this way listening to his solo album as well, but doing this project with Jung Yonghwa made me anticipate his future music even more. As the leader of CNBLUE, and as a solo musician, he’s got so much enchanting music to share. On top of that, he's even good-looking, this guy has it all.
