Hwayobi's new mini album for Pre-order!

Our dear Yobi has gone blonde…^^ for her new mini album titled, “Women Like Me” that is out for Pre- order. The album will be released on 14 Oct 2010. Great news ^^ she has penned and composed all the songs including the new single, a ballad “Women like me”. It is a song that represents a woman’s inner thought about the pain of love, for those who suffer from love. Another good news for those of us who have been missing her “ballad days”, all the three songs in these albums are ballad songs.  In this album she also attempts a song influence by british rock genre which is titled, “uNi”.

Hwayobi's 7th Album Review

Source: Kdawg2k @ Soompi/ Original article here.

Overall, Hwayobi wisely chooses to stick with the same winning formula of R&B tracks when needed and added some electronica with her 10th Anniversary album. In an industry ruled by idol groups today, her vocals are still considered one of the best and unmatched even after a decade. This full-length LP is a good pickup for fans who are looking for true singer-songwriters that still follow the change in times.

R&B singer-songwriter Hwayobi celebrates her 10th Anniversary as an artist with this 10 track self titled album. 6 of the 10 songs were actually composed and self-written, making it her most personal release yet. (*Hwayobi actually wrote all the song lyrics & composed 6 songs including “Bye Bye Bye”).

The album opens with “Booty Call” and is actually not as provocative as the title suggests. Instead, it’s a slow song that showcases Hwayobi’s heartbreaking vocals. This track has potential to be a title track with its slow melody, memorable hook and good mix of English and Korean lyrics. The real title song, however is “Bye Bye Bye” which is a soulful R&B number about leaving a significant other. On this track, Hwayobi’s signature voice is displayed on this slow song.

Synopsis
This song is about how a girl learns about loving herself more and true love after the guy left, She doesn’t care anymore and it too late for the guys to regret. For the girl has learnt to love herself more and learnt about true love. Guys have to grab the one last chance. Credit: Crazsri

Her tears…

We just found this video and just realized that Yobi was tearing up while  singing this song. Her crying sensation has always been remarkable but to actually see her teary eyes  here is priceless. She was completely immersed while singing this song. This is what special about her, she always embodies the song when she sings.

Like what a fan has posted here, ” I love Hwayobi because i feel warm and happy when i watch her performance and listen to her songs. She has such a wonderful voice which can touch  my heart deeply. No one can do it except her!! i will support her!!!.  Hwayobi, I hope you will sing songs which can motivate me when i feel depressed and touch to my heart.  I hope you will always be active in music industry so that more and more people can feel your soulful voice. Darren, Malaysia.

For me, “I love Hwayobi because she is a rare soul who dares to go beyond the norm. When others are pretending hard to show their perfection, she genuinely present herself not hiding her imperfections. I love her not just for her gifted talents but also for her imperfections. Not many of us dare to present that side of us & she dares. A daring rare soul she is….a “heavenly bohemian” someone who dares to go beyond the norm in pursuing her passion. “

What’s your love message to her ? who knows if she floats in here. Lovely sweet messages will always cure any healing soul.

With much love she is treating us. Let us show our love by supporting her works and buy her album…especially from her.  With your purchase, she will definitely know your purchase and it would be sweet for her to know she is love all over the world. We don’t want her to go missing rite :). More purchasing info here (Last order by 3 June/ 4pm Korea Time).
