Kim Yoon Ah : vol.2 Glass Mask (KO,2004)**°°
Tr.4, "Nocturne" 5 min
This is is the second solo album by the singer of popular band's (Ugly Duckling/) Jaurim. The most memorable and also recommended track, romantic and melancholic orchestrated pop with a rather gothic content has all that is needed to be succesful and is highly recognisable, almost universal with all its elements. In a neo-classical fashionable sense this is about the feeling of missing someone. The neo-classical pop is present elsewhere too, in forms of a tango, a bossa nova, and such but without really getting to the soul essence of the styles through enriching its expressions and possibilities or contents, unfortunately the whole thing remains a like a vague superficial idea. It is however Kim Yoon Ah who complained in one interview how pop music in Korea was too much imitating the American R&B pop styles (as superficial empty and ego driven styles perhaps), with toio less zattention to independent labels or movements. The new city boys and girls that way often don't seem to find the time to absorb any other influences or known their past or get easily to deeper musical ideas this way. Compared to the 60s and 70s the new folk singers were much more commenly innocent combining true experiences with a love for deeper lying expressions. For the new generation this is a small recognisable for all moment filled with sadness...
Youtube translation of lyrics : "The wind blowing away makes me at ease. I have been missing you so badly till spring is almost gone. Petals are scattered at night in late spring. I can't even got over his smell. When is he coming? I am so looking forward to seeing him. Just like a petal with a lot of sorrow on. Hollow late night spring. Is he coming this time? I have been missing him so badly. Hesitately, cloud told me that he forgot you. Making relationship when people live is in vain like a thread. The blowing wind makes flowers fall. Is he on his way now? I am so looking forward to see him again."
