Kihyun of Monsta X embarks on his second solo journey with the new album 'YOUTH', delving into the most innocent times of childhood—a world everyone has lived through but can never return to, thus yearning for a reunion. Originating from autobiographical stories, 'YOUTH' sketches Kihyun's happiness, excitement, and vows of beginning as he navigates between imagination and reality.
This album presents a somewhat unfamiliar sensation, diverging from the main vocal Kihyun of Monsta X known thus far. Based on alternative rock and pop sounds, the album showcases Kihyun's exquisite musical world through his diverse vocal techniques. Reflecting on childhood from the vantage point of seven strenuous years, the album weaves tales that seem real in imagination and imaginary in reality, capturing detailed expressions of emotion. Kihyun plays the role of both an observer and a storyteller, questioning himself, responding, and seeking answers.
The titular track 'Youth' vividly conveys the emotions Kihyun felt during his childhood. It's an alternative rock track where the current Kihyun communicates with his younger self, sharing feelings from the past and present commitments, highlighted by his refreshing vocals. It's also a song that honestly unfolds the emotions felt on the journey to reaching the destination, making the listener experience Kihyun's deep emotional range. This track, embodying seven years of Kihyun's experience and the novelty of a solo artist, is bound to offer listeners a new experience and empathy.
Through five songs, Kihyun demonstrates his versatility across various genres, showcasing not just his vocal power and technique but also his delicate approach to conveying emotions in each track. 'Bad Liar', a gift from Monsta X's Hyungwon, highlights Kihyun's powerful vocals and dramatic atmosphere, while 'STARDUST' showcases his emotional and vibrant vocal charm. In 'Where Is This Love', he pairs his delicate vocals with piano sounds, and in ''Cause of You', he delivers a refreshingly bright charm that matches the upbeat sound. The album benefits from the contributions of Ryan Jhun, Kim Eana, Hyungwon, BrotherSu, among others, reflecting Kihyun's confidence.
Kihyun returns with songs of enduring emotions, touching on personal narratives from his seven-year career and songs of empathy that resonate with everyone's feelings. These are honest stories about questions everyone faces while living as a musician, as well as records of Kihyun's fearless past and present. It's a collection of songs that could only be shared by Kihyun at this moment.
