BoA shares her thoughts on 'Only One' album

Posted by sallice103 pts Friday, July 27, 2012



BoA shared some of the episodes she experienced while recording her new album.

During a recent press conference for the release of her 7th album 'Only One', BoA laughed as she shared,"It was hard while I was recording because I kept thinking about J.Y. Park's comments about the 'half air, half sound' technique and how 'you shouldn't scrunch your face on high notes' ."

"I think it's important to make the music I want to create to be easily understood by the audience rather than doing music that the public wants. I think it's our duty to make the music be understood. There are times when I go too far if I just do the music I want to do. I think it's necessary to be somewhat considerate and find a middle ground."

She explained, "For this album, I wanted to produce a relaxing album that even if I was the audience and didn't like BoA's choreography or performance, I'd still be able to listen to it and say it's a good album. Electronic music is still popular, but I wanted to listen to relaxing music. There's barely any electronic sound in this album, but I still paid attention to the whole album by adding a song for those who enjoy a music style like 'Hurricane Venus'."

BoA commented on her growth into maturity, "People who are getting old don't know how much they're getting old. I think it's only that our expectations rise as we feel and learn. But even then, I can feel that I've matured because I don't feel uncomfortable about the lyrics I write and my way of expressing myself has changed."

The title song of her 7th album "Only One", a dreamy song with heavy hip hop beats and orchestration,is the first self-composed title song BoA has released since her debut.
