[Interview] Taeyeon 3rd Full Album 'INVU', It’s my kind of love ❤

Q. If you were to describe this album 'INVU' in one phrase?

TAEYEON: ‘Another emotion from Taeyeon’

 

Q. Please introduce three charm points of the album 'INVU' that everyone would ‘ENVY’.

TAEYEON:

- Various genre of songs are included.

- You can meet the new singing style of Taeyeon.

- An album with a good tracklist to play as a whole.

 

Q. What came into your mind when you heard 'INVU' for the first time? When you were preparing for the stage of 'INVU' what did you focus on the most?

TAEYEON: Honestly, 'INVU' wasn't a candidate for the title song. It was going to be one of the side tracks, but as soon as I heard this song something about it was stuck in my head. So, I actively expressed my opinion and ended up choosing it as the title song. There's a move that represents 'INVU' and that move was thought to be the point of the performance, so I focused on that. I'd appreciate it if you guys could follow the moves (Laughs).

 

Q. You participated in writing the lyrics for the 'Can't Control Myself' pre-release in January. Was there a message you wanted to deliver?

TAEYEON: Through the emotions and the atmosphere that the songs exude, I tend to come up with stories for it. Rather than writing a story about my current situation, personally it's more interesting to write fun stories that suits with the mood of the song.

 

Q. What part did you put emphasis on when you were filming the MV for 'INVU'? If detailed emotions of acting were shown in the 'Can't Control Myself' MV, what would be the focus point just for the 'INVU' MV?

TAEYEON: When you think of 'INVU', you think of scenes that show jealousy and envy, but it's definitely not a miserable image as you can see. I rather expressed a charismatic image of 'INVU'. In the MV this time, we used some mysterious objects or props to create much of a metallic and slick mood. In a way, the emotions of 'INVU' was expressed in a sharper and a more of a chilly way. I hope you enjoy this kind of mood as well with the song.

 

Q. It's been heard that 'INVU' is an album that contains a high portion of Taeyeon's opinions. What was the most enjoyable moment while preparing for this album?

TAEYEON: Because I'm a person who always tries out new genres and various kinds of genres, I tried different attempts without being complacent. As I recorded the tracks one by one, the sense of accomplishment felt like clearing missions. Until I was satisfied with the results, I kept on recording to enhance the level of completeness. So, after the mastering stage was done and the mastering versions of all the songs came out, I was the happiest and proud. 

 

Q. All the tracks would be meaningful, but what is the song that you most adore?

TAEYEON: Firstly, I mostly adore 'INVU' as it is the title song anyhow, but I personally love the song 'Timeless' as well. Also, starting with 'Timeless', 'Heart', 'No Love Again', 'You Better Not' to 'Weekend', this part of the tracklist flows so naturally. This flow is also the fun point of the album. Lastly, the album concludes with the song called 'Ending Credits', which I love because it seems like the album's tracklist is completed like a finale of a grand concert. 

 

Q. What kind of an album do you want the album 'INVU' to be remembered as?

TAEYEON: As a stimulus. Of course, it being a positive stimulus. Also, through the promotion of this album, I created a 'scent' for it. While feeling the scent, I hope you can overall experience the song, the colour and the mood of the whole album, atmosphere and the style of the song with your five senses (Laughs).
