Your Voice

Not long ago, Taeyeon appeared on SBS ‘MMTG’ and talked about her music style saying, “In the past, I wanted to have a distinct voice or a characteristic, so I used to be self conscious that I didn’t have that. If you put it positively, I have a voice that doesn’t sound awkward in any genre, but if you put it negatively, I don’t have a distinct colour. But I think it’s my characteristic that I h..

Let's dwell on the difference between the first album "My Voice" and the second album "Purpose". If in "My Voice", which transferred from "Fine" to "Make Me Love You", was a process in which Taeyeon's 'voice' was strongly exerted, "Purpose", which went from "Spark" to "Dear Me", seems to be a process of converging the external-facing voice back to herself. This was probably Taeyeon's 'purpose'. ..

Music Video Pick! Taeyeon - Spark Squib: The image of the cool shadows stand out more than the hot flames, but paradoxically, that captures the fierceness of the sparks that are just blooming. Along with the lyrics "Wake up the spark", the cut that sheds red light on Taeyeon's grim expression is the moment when the almost 4-minute music video was compressed into a single cut. On the rooftop and ..

Squib: Mysterious suspense is created as she sings the song with a calm tone and her signature tensed vocal. This goes beyond dragging the song without making it boring and finally completing it. On top of the serene heart of acknowledging 'You were the whole world', no one can express the ripples caused by the thrown pebble 'Did I really love you?' more effectively than Taeyeon. The b-side trac..

PICK! Mano: Although the world already knows it's the truth and it hurts to say it again, Taeyeon is an outstanding vocalist. And the ability to take any song and make it her own with her unrivaled vocal skill is proven in her two EPs (I, Why) and her full-length album (My Voice). I think readers know that "singing a song well" is more than simply screaming out high notes well. In that sense, Ta..

PICK! Mimyo: Christmas season songs only exist as conservative songs. Because they are closely connected to each person's childhood memories. (Adults too look for Santa Clause who is [spoiler].) Therefore, it can't be helped that Christmas music is especially different from us due to our different cultural history compared to the western society. This album creates a 'new song' by detailing and ..

PICK! Park Heeah: I have already highly praised it on a different sound platform (c), but this album contains all the ego Taeyeon wanted to very much express. A rocking tone that is splendidly set off like fireworks in the night sky, the ballad's emotions that seem to scrape up the sensitivities that sink in at any moment. The song that Nell's Kim Jongwan gave Taeyeon was an unexpected track, it..

PICK! Kim Yoonha: If you ask me if this song is a representative song of Taeyeon, I will reply that it definitely isn't, but if you ask me if this is the proper song that allows you to know of Taeyeon's charm, then I will reply that it very much is. With the nickname 'SM's civil servant', from group and solo, to company single projects and drama OSTs, having activities restlessly, and taking on ..

PICK! Mimyo: If someone let me define Taeyeon's charm, I would call it 'excitement'. It is based on aloofness, like the B-side track 'Good Thing', and it was the 'Why' music video that expressed that narratively. The music video shows being confident and enjoying something on your own, and it ensures the absence of a 'man counterpart' by creating a point of contact with the music video of the pr..

Kim Yoonha: An agency releases a new song every week for one year. No matter how much SM Entertainment seems reckless, it is a very reasonable conclusion that the first protagonist of this project is Taeyeon. Having the position as Girls' Generation's main vocalist, "SM's civil servant" as she is jokingly called, her guaranteed results coupled with the impressive results from last year's solo ac..
