[ASKKPOP] Ailee reveals why it took so long to release her first full-length album
She explained during the showcase for 'VIVID,' "I took great care to show my best self so it took longer than expected. I wanted to drop a full-length album that is more than satisfactory.There is a lot of music that I want to express on this album. Just like the title 'VIVID,' the album contains colorful sounds that are powerful and distinct. I want to give my album a ten out of ten."
When she received the question of the 'fierce,' 'strong unnie' theme of her songs such as "Don't Touch Me," and her recent single "Mind Your Own Business," Ailee answered that it's not done intentionally.
She confessed, "I always say on interviews and TV shows that I want to sing a more lovely, mellow song. But I always get handed songs with a strong vibe. Maybe it's because only I can sing those kinds of songs," and joked, "The songwriters probably all picture me [when they compose those songs]."
