1. 개요

---

2019년 5월 22일 발매된 가수 KATIE의 미니앨범 1집이다. 타이틀 곡은 "'''Thinkin Bout You'''".

빌보드 상위권에 여러 곡을 진입 시킨 유명 프로듀서 Kuya, Talay Riley, The Orphanage, Nikki Flores, Sad Money 등이 대거 지원사격에 나서 KATIE와 함께 LA 송캠프를 통해 심혈을 기울여 만든 진정성이 담긴 앨범이다.

올해 선공개된 Ty Dolla $ign과 함께한 피처링 곡 'Remember'를 비롯해 KATIE만의 타의 추종을 불허하는 독보적인 음악성과 퀄리티 있는 보이스로 가득 채워진 신선하고 독창적인 앨범이다. 호소력 짙은 KATIE의 보이스톤과 소울이 어우러져 고퀄리티의 방점을 찍으며 역량을 최대한 발휘한 이번 [LOG] 앨범은 타이틀곡이 없는 앨범이자 역설적으로 모든 곡이 타이틀곡인 특별한 앨범이기도 하다.

2.1. No Instruction

---

Chris Brown, Khalid, Ella Mai, Jason Derulo 등 세계적인 아티스트와 작업한 유명 송라이터 Talay Riley와 최근 빌보드 차트 6위를 기록했던 Demi Lovato 'Sorry Not Sorry'의 프로듀싱 팀 Orphanage의 협업으로 곡의 퀄리티를 최상으로 높였다. 환상적인 멜로디 라인과 특유의 그루브가 강렬하게 느껴지는 R&B 곡이며, 사랑은 지침서가 필요 없는 두 사람이 만든 완벽한 작품이라는 내용을 담았다.

'''〈No Instruction〉'''

I know we hit a low Just need some patience Skyscrapers got real deep foundations If you’re down if you’re down stick around, going up I don’t need conversation Right now I just need your hands on me baby Yeah we might mess it up When it comes to love No instructions No instructions See you gotta let your heart lead the way Cause real ones never wait No instructions Over feeling like you’re under construction Greatness might just fade away if we rush it If you’re down if you’re down stick around, going up I don’t need conversation Right now I just need your hands on me baby Yeah we might mess it up When it comes to love No instructions No instructions See you gotta let your heart lead the way Cause real ones never wait No instructions Stop hesitating Take a leap of faith, baby Can’t be afraid of mistakes We don’t need a guide Let’s just take the time Don’t it feel like the right time and place No instructions No instructions See you gotta let your heart lead the way Cause real ones never wait No instructions Oh baby You know what to do No instructions

2.2. Future Love

---

몽환적인 분위기를 주도하는 공간감 있는 신스 사운드와 플럭 신스가 돋보이며, Vocal chopping을 이용한 독특한 후렴구와 KATIE의 음색이 잘 어우러지는 중독성 있는 곡이다. 나를 스쳐간 사람 중에 나와 맞는 사람을 찾지 못해, 매 순간 힘들 때마다 기댈 수 있는 사람이 어디엔가 숨어있다면 빨리 내 곁에 오기를 간절히 바라는 애절한 마음을 담은 가사다.

'''〈Future Love〉'''

Guess I’m just tired of the same things Ready for a change of mind And I’ve been so busy with the music Barely even got the time To love someone, to call him mine To give myself, to share my time With another soul who gets me That’d be nice Yeah I had a few of them try it But none of them got what I like Want someone to get me excited Somebody to give me a vibe So tell me where have you been hiding Come on and step into my light Cause I’m ready now To my future love Wherever you are Can you be strong For me when I’m not Touch me like gold And I’ll be your star This is for you My future love Love I don’t mind spending time alone I kinda like my quiet days But at night I wish that there was someone next to me where I lay To wrap me up and hold me tight Where time is still, just you and I And that's all I’m really missing in my life Yeah I had a few of them try it But none of them got what I like Want someone to get me excited Somebody to give me a vibe So tell me where have you been hiding Come on and step into my light Cause I’m ready now To my future love Wherever you are Can you be strong For me when I’m not Touch me like gold And I’ll be your star This is for you My future love Love My future love I don’t catch feelings I’d catch them for you If you give yourself to me I’ll give me to you We’ll live on forever like true lovers do Like true lovers do Staring at my ceiling just thinking about what we’d do If I had you right here would make it come true I just hope that you’re out there and you’re dreaming about me too Are you dreaming about me too To my future love Wherever you are Can you be strong For me when I’m not Touch me like gold And I’ll be your star This is for you My future love Love My future love

2.3. Thinkin Bout You

---

2017년 뜨거운 사랑을 받은 Alessia Cara의 'Here' 곡의 프로듀서인 Kuya Production이 참여해서 퀄리티 있는 최상의 작품을 만들었다. 몽환적인 신스 사운드와 베이스를 주축으로 네오 소울 느낌을 살렸으며 악기를 최소화해서 팔세토 음역대와 중저음이 매력적인 KATIE의 목소리를 부각시킨 미니멀 프로덕션 곡이다. 감미로운 멜로디에 중독성 강한 사비가 덧입혀져 멜로디의 잔영이 귓가를 계속 맴돌게 한다. 왠지 모르게 끌리는 그를 밤새 그리며 그를 향한 타오르는 열정을 가득 담은 서정적인 가사가 분위기를 더욱 상승시키는 곡이다.

'''〈Thinkin Bout You〉'''

Yeah I don’t know why you’re messing around with all them other girls Acting like you’ve got all of the time left in the world I promise that if you were mine I’d never let it go to waste I can tell that you’ve been hurt before I know because so was I I know you feel the energy when you look in my eyes Can you tell the way I feel I’m obviously yours to take Because it’s 4 o’clock in the morning And that’s about the time I start zoning Thinkin bout all the ways that I want it And it's time that you know you know you know I’m usually good at keeping my secrets But it’s so bad the way that I need it If I gave you all my love would you keep it Cause it’s time that you know you know you know That I can’t stop thinkin bout you I can't stop thinkin bout you And I don’t know what I’m gonna do I can’t stop thinkin bout you In my imagination I can almost feel your touch Dreaming of the day you say you want me just as much But what good are the fantasies if I don’t get the real thing Cause although it’s only in my head for now I’m hoping once I finally let it out That you say you feel the way that I do Baby say you feel the way that I do Because it’s 4 o’clock in the morning And that’s about the time I start zoning Thinkin bout all the ways that I want it And it's time that you know you know you know That I can’t stop thinkin bout you I can't stop thinkin bout you And I don’t know what I’m gonna do I can’t stop thinkin bout you And I just want you to know And if you feel the same then say so Babe I just want you to know Baby I just want you to know you know you know That I can’t stop thinkin bout you I can't stop thinkin bout you And I don’t know what I’m gonna do I can’t stop thinkin bout you

'''〈Remember(Feat. Ty Dolla $ign)〉'''

We were so automatic But now I’m reminiscing Falling through the cracks It was bound to happen It’s funny how it lingers But I’m not surprised We were magic Boy, you had me hypnotized under your spell We were lost in a fantasy Chasing those memories It’s like I can taste you I swear to god I still taste you Remember, I remember We make love memorable We make love not typical Remember, I remember How many times that we The time and the place that we Remember, I remember I, I remember We made magic Unbelievable, so mystic Thankful for your existence Wondrous Girl our loves more than supernatural Give you all mine for collateral Stop what I’m doing and I’ll hop on that flight Girl when I see you tryna get it on sight I know we’ve been through so much Somehow got out of touch Just can’t let it go that easy Girl you know how bad I miss your face, oooh I swear to god I still taste you Remember, I remember We make love memorable We make love not typical Remember, I remember How many times that we The time and the place that we Remember, I remember I, I remember

2.5. Love Kills

---

멜로디와 신스가 번갈아가며 나오는 빈틈없는 전개와 KATIE의 매력적인 저음과 고음의 팔세토 창법이 더해진 분위기 있는 재즈 풍의 R&B 곡이다. 이 곡 역시 Kuya Production의 작품이다. 꿈속에 그려왔던 이상형을 마침내 찾게 되어 벅차오르는 행복한 마음을 가사로 풀어놓은 곡이다.

'''〈Love Kills〉'''

I was just staring at the clouds Dreaming that somehow I would find someone To be my someone Clear as day you came you stood out from the crowd Couldn’t hear a sound Looking like a home run Boy I was so done Want you to call me baby got me feeling crazy making me lose my mind Cause now that I have found you How could I live without you You've got that something I’ve been looking for That something that you just don’t find Just wanna be around you Just wanna be around you Love, it kills Head over heels You would be worth every minute Yeah it feels so good when you’re in it My heart’s on fire All day and all night I won’t stop til we’re finished Boy it hurts so good when you give it Love kills Love kills Love kills I know that love and war is fair But I don’t even care If I get to hold you Even for a moment You are the answer to prayers It’s crazy but I swear That there ain’t no one No one better for you Want you to call me baby got me feeling crazy making me lose my mind Cause now that I have found you How could I live without you You've got that something I’ve been looking for That something that you just don’t find Just wanna be around you Just wanna be around you Love, it kills Head over heels You would be worth every minute Yeah it feels so good when you’re in it My heart’s on fire All day and all night I won’t stop til we’re finished Boy it hurts so good when you give it Love kills Love kills Love kills I can’t sleep Knowing there’s somebody like you for me Every minute I’m alone is wasted I can’t take it Knowing that all these stars would probably look much better if I was where you are Every minute I’m alone is wasted Baby don’t waste it Love, it kills Head over heels You would be worth every minute Yeah it feels so good when you’re in it My heart’s on fire All day and all night I won’t stop til we’re finished Boy it hurts so good when you give it Love kills Love kills Love kills

2.6. Better Off

---

빈티지한 느낌의 재즈 편곡이 매력적인 R&B 곡이다. 곡 전체에 반복적으로 나오는 코러스 패턴은 인상 깊으며, KATIE의 꺼끌꺼끌한 짙은 보컬이 더해져 곡의 퀄리티를 높였다. 누군가를 만나 외롭고 힘든 순간들을 겪다가 이별 후에 행복해진 예전의 내 모습을 되찾으며 혼자 남은 나를 자축하는 내용을 담고 있다.

'''〈Better Off〉'''

Sunday morning Raindrops pouring Things that make me smile Ever since you took my love and Messed me up I guess I’ve been just fine Cause when you left me lonely what was I supposed to do Just sit around all day and cry I never knew how much of me was wasted on you Cause now I feel like I can fly Now I know that I I’m better off without you Got nothing else left to lose When you try to find A love worth your time You’ll think of this heart of mine But I’m better off without you All the sudden There’s a swing in Every step I take Singing with the birds and Nothing’s gonna take my inner peace away Cause when you left me lonely what was I supposed to do Just sit around all day and cry You’ll be playing all the same old games that you play And I’ll have the sun in my eyes Now I know that I I’m better off without you Got nothing else left to lose When you try to find A love worth your time You’ll think of this heart of mine But I’m better off without you
