Today, SUPER JUNIOR's lead vocalist RYEOWOOK returned with his first solo mini album in three years titled "A Wild Rose." Listen to the highlight medley here.
Renowned internationally as one of K-pop's most vocally distinguished balladeers, as part of SUPER JUNIOR, RYEOWOOK has garnered fans all around the world as one of the first K-pop acts to break the international market and successfully tour the globe. Aside from the group projects, RYEOWOOK has showcased his talents through the vocal sub-unit SUPER JUNIOR-K.R.Y. and released tracks on several Korean drama soundtracks, as well as star in a string of musicals.
"A Wild Rose" is an emotive seven-track mini-album of solid, melodic pop midtempos, each conveying their own delicate love and heartbreak stories. The lead track "Hiding Words" is a sorrowful and cinematic ballad which casts RYEOWOOK as a broken-hearted man preparing to break up with his lover. Elsewhere there are more suitably springtime tunes like "Crying" - a wistful, rhythmical acoustic guitar and piano number - and "Bluebird", a bluesy track about a passive love story, co-written by Ryan Jhun, who previously worked on tracks for SUPER JUNIOR, SHINee and NCT. Watch the music video here.
"To Me" is a modern rock track, and "Everlasting Love" is a classic power ballad with RYEOWOOK professing his unending affection and vowing to protect his lover forever. "Angel's Wing" is a pop genre track, which compares a wounded heart to losing your wings, while "My Dear" is a sentimental ballad expressing everything RYEOWOOK would like to say to a loved one when they are reunited.
