[The Fact | Reporter Jeong Byeong Geun] GOT7's JAY B showed off what he did well and what he could have done better in his official album. With styles ranging from funky to sexy, JAY B is determined to do his best in his upcoming performances.
On the afternoon of the 27th, JAY B held a showcase to release his first album "Archive 1: [Road Runner]" at Yes24 Live Hall, Plaza, Seoul. He released this album after completing his military service, and it is his first official solo album in his 12-year career. He chose two title tracks and shared, "I wanted to choose songs that show the passion and focus of the performance that I have shown in the past, while also opening up the possibility of introducing more things in the future, which is why I chose a song with sexy elements."
"Archive 1: [Road Runner]" is JAY B's comeback product after completing his military service on November 1, and is also his first official solo album in his 12-year solo career. JAY B conveyed the feelings of waiting and reunion in this album, such as the meeting between the mature version of himself and the thrill of starting over.
The two title tracks "Crash" and "Cloud Nine" clearly show JAY B's current and future directions. He said, "'Crash' is a song with a dynamic and passionate style that I have been pursuing since before, while 'Cloud Nine' is an R&B song that I want to introduce to everyone. This song is different from what I have done before, giving off a sexy and attractive feeling, as if I am floating on the clouds."
As JAY B shared, "Crash" is a powerful energy song, expressing JAY B's spirit of constantly pursuing his own path. The remaining title track, "Cloud Nine," is built on the foundation of R&B music with emotional and intimate melodies, bringing a relaxing space, as if the listener is flying on the clouds, in a state of happiness.
JAY B also shared, "During my time in the military, what suddenly came to my mind was deep gratitude towards the fans who have always waited for me. And I wondered how to express that gratitude more sincerely. I also felt very moved when watching the members' performances, and thought that I should continue to do the music that I love, and create more songs that the fans want."
