It shows off their fluidity on their new EP, The Book of Us: Gravity. The new EP contains six new self-written and composed songs by Jae, Sungjin, and Young K, along with the band’s new unmarried, “Time of Our Life.”
On Monday (July 15, the release of Gravity) follows information on the organization’s international tour, which kicks off in August in Seoul. Making their way around the sector with 31 stops, DAY6 will dedicate the month of September to their holidays in the U.S. Starting with a -night show at the PlayStation Theater in New York (September 12 and 13), the band will visit five extra towns earlier than concluding in Los Angeles (September 28 and 29).
The quintet, produced by Jae, Sungjin, Young K, Wonpil, and Dowoon, debuted under JYP Entertainment in 2015 with their EP, The Day. Though they may not be your normal dancing K-pop idol institution, every band member performs a vital position in weaving their instrumental capabilities and vocals. Below, Jae and Young K discuss their new album’s alternate tempo, track technique, favorite anime, and upcoming tour.
You’re returned with new music and about to embark on your largest excursion up to now. Has the feeling settled in?
Jae: We’re excited because this album’s a touch different. We’ve got loads of idea contributions; everything that we’ve skilled, experienced, shared, and seen as a form of portrayed in our track whether or not we find it irresistible. I think that’s an awesome element as it’s appropriate, to be honest. But as for our upcoming global excursion, we are outstandingly excited because we get to look at everybody again. There are more cities than there had been earlier.
Which are you most excited to go to?
Jae: One, specifically for Wonpil, is Milan. He always wanted to go to Italy, and his favorite football team in Italy is AC Milan.We’ree usually excited because new places deliver our recent reviews, which offer us excellent recollections and fresh thoughts that we can place returned to our tune. So any period is usually exceptional for us. You’ree new unmarried,”“Time of Our Live”” has a trade-in tempo compared to your previous releases. What caused this change?
Jae: It wasn’t much that we sat down and decided, “Guys, we need to trade the pace,” but I wager particularly throughout our last global tour, we felt there was a necessity for extra concert-geared music; what do I imply? There are various songs where anyone leaps, and all and sundry is having an accurate time. So we wanted to tap in and connect with the target market, our enthusiasts, and the folks that come to look at our indicates a bit extra.
For example, inside the music center, all and sundry can clap alongside if there is a clap phase. I wager that during thoughts, we started on the brand new album, and various concert-orientated tracks came out. Therefore, our identify song became the BPM that it is. I don’t think it necessarily turned into like… We said, “We want to make it quicker.” We make what we adore to make.
I read it as a track of desire, and my concept embodies the sound of a person who’s approximately embarking on a new chapter of their life, which comes throughout even more definitely while you read the lyrics. It made me consider it an OST for your lives as a band. Which brings me to my subsequent question: What is your favored anime?
Young K: It’ss absolutely One Piece; I’ve been looking at it because I became very young. I recently started re-looking it from Episode 1 until the most recent episode, which took me about three months. I watch it all of the time.
Jae: For me,it’ss Your Lie in April. Not because it’s music-oriented; however,it’ss, in reality, my favorite. I don’t watch anime; I study manga, which sincerely incorporates the saddest pages I’ve ever seen.
You are typically worried about producing and writing your music; can you walk me through your musical system?
Young K: It differs from song to track. Sometimes, it can occur from a guitar riff, bass riff, or lyric concept. Sometimes, I come up with a melody; however, most of the time, we provide you with a piece of music first, and then all and sundry receive it together, and we sing along as though it is music we already recognize. Then, we examine every melody and choose the exceptional one. We then write down the lyrics and file.
Is there an example wherein you men hum it first, and you’re like,” Oh, this could be something”?
Young K: Sometimes we do that. However, we usually provide you with a song, and while the guitar instrumental is playing, each person writes down the melody.
Jae: I experience like that’s how many tune creators in Western regions like North America make music nowadays. They take a track, sing over it, sing over it again, and then reduce out pieces and blend and suit to make a great tune. We have four participants, and each does that, so I assume it’s a little easier for us. Young K, because you write many songs, what conjures up you? Are you taking effect films or actual lifestyle activities?
Young K: I bet the reports that I had after living in Canada helped me a lot. I used to stay by myself, far away from my parents, so I was given a loose lifestyle. Those stories helped me a lot; however, I got caught with author’s block at one point. I wanted suggestions from everywhere at that point, so each day, conversations and often films. Movies have encouraged 3 or 4 songs. There’ss the tune”“Man in a Movie”” which was inspired by Me Before You.
Is there all and sundry who you’d love to jot down a tune for?
Young K: I’ve continually desired to jot down a song about my father and dedicate it to him. But I’ve usually been afraid to; I need to realize a greater existence that allows you to sing approximately him. I continually feel like I’m too young. For instance, this album,there’ss a song called” Cove.” We got up with the music first, and once I changed into writing with Sungjin, he wanted to write down about our fathers, but I stated, “No, now not, but. Let’ss communicate about something else.”” So, as a substitute, we mentioned masking ourselves up. And for an artist perhaps I would like to put in writing for … I’ve in no way thought of it. JSP is as a solo artist,that’ss my answer! Maybe all the DAY6 contributors are solo artists!
