"알수없는비밀(Sonatine)" on YouTube |
Loona self-describes the new songs of Love&Evil,"Love&Evil," "Sonatine," and "Rain 51db," as:
“Is love something sweet? Or is it something cruel?”
It might be a question too difficult for young girls to answer yet. The title track ‘Sonatine (알수없는비밀)’takes the encounters of love away towards the adolescence of the girls. While ‘Love&Live (지금,좋아해)’was a typical K-pop girl group track with lovely emotions,‘Sonatine (알수없는비밀)’mesmerizes the audience with mystical melodies unexpected for a K-pop girl group.
The intro track ‘Love &Evil’produced by SWEETCH materializes a girl who is lost alone in a dark forest. With the piano played in Accelerando,the girl runs away deeper into the forest.
The album continues with a newly released track,‘Rain 51db (비의목소리51db)’which is an homage to the first generation K-pop girl groups,S.E.S and Fin.K.L. It also shows their love towards themselves,trying to revitalize the sentiments of the golden era. Like ViVi’s previous attempt in ‘Everyday I Love You’,LOOΠΔ1/3 time-travels back to the 90’s,with the question of “what if LOOΠΔwas created in the 90’s?”. They then raise their innocent and pure voices up as if ‘Rain 51db’is the original soundtrack to an animation film with a storytelling,singing that they have “dreams that they do not wake up from.” [8]
