Member Lim Seulong of the group 2AM is returning to the solo stage after 8 years.
Lim Seulong will release his mini-album 'Rainbow Light' on the 15th at 6 p.m. through various music sites.
This album is his first solo work in 8 years since the digital single 'Your Sea' which was released before his military enlistment in 2017. The work features 4 songs of different styles based on Lim Seulong's unique soft vocal tone, capturing a nostalgic emotionality through the imagery of rain and rainbow.
The title track 'Rainbow Light' is a song with an addictive bass line and a repeating melody, embodying the excitement and nostalgia of love, like a rainbow blooming after the rain. The second track 'Mist' is a cinematic pop song based on piano melodies and grand string orchestrations, where Lim Seulong directly participated in the lyrics, quietly and deeply expressing the emotions of a calm farewell.
The modern rock genre song 'Image' was specially written and composed by fellow 2AM member Jung Jinwoon for Lim Seulong's solo album. It expresses the complex emotions of love through a superb contrast of strong guitar and delicate piano sounds. The final track for global fans, 'Rainbow Light (English Ver.),' offers a different charm from the Korean version.
So far, Lim Seulong has consistently broadened his musical spectrum through various collaborations and OST work, including his activities with 2AM. This solo album is expected to reflect the experiences and reflections he has accumulated over time and showcase Lim Seulong’s unique color, different from his group activities.
Lim Seulong's solo album 'Rainbow Light' is currently available for pre-order on major album sites.
