They all have their meanings.”ĭK of iKON is featured in “Ur SOUL Ur BodY,” and Ju-ne appears in “RaiNinG.” “For example, for ‘Ur SOUL Ur BodY,’ I wanted to stress that the soul was more important than the body. For instance, he placed the skits in between the tracks to convey five emotional states, while he purposefully used both capital and lowercase letters in the song titles to make people more curious about the songs. The track list itself is also a portrayal of the album’s message, Bobby said. I incorporated the fashion styles and hair that I usually pursue, and even the CGs used in the music video were inspired from the shapes and colors I like.” I wanted to make the album as ‘Bobby-ish’ as it could be because it embraces all my emotions. “As the key to the album was the story, the overall visuals, including my style, had to go in line with the story. He also took part in the making of the music video for the title track to make sure that it best embodied his message. Taking part in the overall production of the album, Bobby singlehandedly wrote and produced all four skits and 13 songs on the list. I couldn’t decide easily between the two songs.” As implied in the title, the song had made my heart become all soft and indulge myself in my emotions when I heard it in the early morning. “But ‘In THE DaRk’ had been on my mind until the last stage. There’s a lot of shouting and the rapping is also quite rough at times,” Bobby said. “‘U MAD’ well illustrates the energy and strong charisma I show on the stage. Sometimes he’s more delicate than he appears in his first album, and at other times he’s even bolder than fans expect.Īccording to Bobby, while he chose “U MAD” as the album’s lead track as it best represents his charismatic side, he had considered “In THE DaRk” for the title until the very last moment. While his first full-length album as a solo artist “Love and Fall,” stressed the softer side of Bobby - then better known for his fierceness as a rapper - “Lucky Man” delves into the singer’s two extremes. When asked when in his life he’d felt the luckiest, Bobby said, “My best luck in life was to be born to my parents.” The album’s title reflects his appreciation, Bobby said, adding that he was “lucky to be able to feel so many different emotions” in his 20s. “The main theme is the portrayal of all the bliss and sorrows people go through in youth - falling in love with someone, enduring the agony of a breakup, overcoming the deep sorrow and making a recovery,” the 26-year-old rapper-singer said. Three years and four months since his solo debut album, “Love and Fall,” came out in 2017, Bobby said the essence of the 17-track album is the expression of the diverse emotions he experienced in his 20s. I worked on arranging the order of the songs and the lyrics so that they could make listeners want to listen to the next song when they finish the previous song on the track list,” Bobby said during a press conference held in Seoul on Monday ahead of the album’s release. “The key was threading the tracks into an agreeable story. In “Lucky Man,” he sings of the diverse emotions he experienced in his youth. IKON’s Bobby dropped his second solo studio album Monday.
