Billlie the fourth mini album [the Billage of perception: chapter three]
“Many things tend to happen suddenly. Suddenly, unexpectedly, abruptly, and all at once. I keep thinking of those words. It makes me think that one day you might appear out of nowhere.”
Billlie continues its unique story with the fourth mini album [the Billage of perception: chapter three].
Since their debut album, Billlie has woven a mysterious tale of 'the day when the violet rain fell, and the Billlie Love that always seemed to be with us disappeared' into two series of reality, dreams, and the unconscious, expressing various artistic works and music genres with each album, and fans have coined the term 'Billiverse' (Billlie + Universe) for the works created by Billlie, establishing a distinctive and unique domain in the K-POP scene.
Last year's mini album ranked high on multiple global charts, and the title track 'GingaMingaYo (the strange world)' was selected as the 'Best K-POP Song of 2022' by major international media outlets such as TIME, Billboard, NYLON, Teen Vogue, Apple Music, TIDAL, Amazon Music, NME in the UK, and The National in the UAE. Additionally, the title track of the mini album 3, 'RING ma Bell (what a wonderful world)', which transcends boundaries with its addictive sound in the Hard Rock genre, was ranked as the 'Best K-POP Song of 2022' by the renowned UK magazine DAZED, while the album's track 'B'rave ~ a song for Matilda' was also selected as the 'Best B-SIDE K-POP Track of 2022' by the UK music and fashion magazine CLASH, solidifying Billlie's position as a representative complete artist among mega 4th generation idols, recognized for their unique musicality worldwide.
The title track of the mini album 4, 'EUNOIA', continues the complete musical and narrative journey of 'Billiverse' from the first to the fourth album, combining the music of the producing team PixelWave, who collaborated with Billlie for the first time in this album, and the lyrics of songwriter Le’mon, who has been connected since the debut album.
This album, like its predecessors, features a solid narrative that connects all tracks from the opening to the final track, with a luxurious lineup of writers including Lee Woo-min "collapsedone", Justin Reinstein, minGtion, team GALACTIKA *, Jo Yoon-kyung, LLANO, and Geumto maximizing the overall completeness of the album with music and narratives that only Billlie can express. Additionally, the music video for the title track and the visual story film for the sub-track 'enchanted night ~ 白夜' were enhanced with the artistic direction of director Kwak Doo-ri, and pop artist Regina Kim restructured the continuity of the story with sensory artwork, once again completing Billlie's unique visual art.
Through [the Billage of perception: chapter three], Billlie continues the story of what happened to us on the day when Billlie Love disappeared or around that time.
“When we become adults, we see and discover many things that we cannot remember or understand. Then one day, something like an irresistible force took Billlie, who was always with us, and we still linger around the house where the disappeared Billlie lived, feeling the anxiety that we might soon forget Billlie too. We become numb to what we have lost, feel guilt about what we have lost, want to find what we have lost again, and the doubts, fears, and shame about the lost situation lead us to the boundaries of the next time across various times and spaces.”
01. enchanted night ~ 白夜
Composed by PixelWave, Lee Ah-il, BOiTELLO, YOUHA
Lyrics by LLANO
Arranged by PixelWave
We walk while listening to the sounds of the night, sharing countless stories. When I hear the song of the night, it feels like there is some revelation. But, it seems that the dreamer Billlie who was in that attic is no longer there. Where did they go? It seems that a star has appeared in the night sky that wasn't there until yesterday. That star, like a transparent blue bead. A newly formed star. Every night, new stars bloom all over the sky. The intentionally irregular spread everywhere is the most comfortable comfort for us.
I think I can organize all the worries, confusion, and noise I had under the sun while walking, listening to the sounds of insects and night animals, and put them back on the bookshelf in my heart. The song of the night is at the convenience store, in the shop window, a runway for dolls in the night, with our favorite drinks in one hand, we walk together on a day tired from the sun, hoping this night won't end and will continue until tomorrow evening…
The sub-track 'enchanted night ~ 白夜' is an alternative disco pop genre song, a danceable and groovy track with elements of analog synth blended in a neo-funk style.
Inspired by the original work by Steven Millhauser of the same name, this song contains the emotions and stories we shared while wandering with friends in the middle of the night when we were young.
02. lionheart (the real me)
Composed by Lee Woo-min "collapsedone", STWP, Justin Reinstein, JJean
Lyrics by Le’mon
Arranged by Lee Woo-min "collapsedone", STWP
The discomfort about tomorrow, the child who was mean to me yesterday. And the fear and anxiety about what I am doing now seem to have no solution the more I think about it. Useless imagination, wrong expectations, and errors from miscalculations only increase my anxiety…
You know, I feel like I can't shake off all this fear by thinking with my head. Following illusions rather than reality only makes the dizziness grow…
I will bring out my true self that is in my heart and shake off the fear. Like the girl in the red hood in the snow, trying to overcome something that will take me to another world.
Courage comes from deep within my heart and chest, making me strong again. Using my head or calculating doesn't create courage in the end. Let's listen to the voice from deep within me. Let's bring out the real me that is deep inside and make me strong.
I will bring out the lionheart within me and block the winds of vague and uncomfortable emotions.
You know… I become strongest when I am most myself.
'lionheart (the real me)' is a track with a short but powerful message that 'courage comes not from the head but from the heart', expressed in a fusion of reggaeton and moombahton sounds on a Latin hip hop groove with Billlie's unique vibe.
03. EUNOIA
Composed by PixelWave, YOUHA
Lyrics by Le’mon
Arranged by PixelWave
We all have two sides. You and I inside me are our overlap. You and I touching on a folded page. You, visible beyond the axis laid between you and me, are also me. Do you know the best way to understand me? Forgiveness for myself about what I have done. There are moments when I don’t want to see myself, right? There are nights when I can't sleep, regretting what I did, right? In those moments, try whispering in a voice that can only be heard by you alone~ EUNOIA
I think the best way to understand me is forgiveness for what I have done, for myself. I want to understand and embrace my negative side. That is when you and I become a complete one inside me, and I feel that is how I find my true self. I want to understand and embrace my negative side. That is when you and I become one and become a complete one.
So, if you want to cry, just cry, don’t laugh meaninglessly.
The title track 'EUNOIA' is an alternative funk pop track that uniquely combines elements of synth wave, disco, and G-funk into a 90’s old school hip hop vibe.
The title 'EUNOIA' is derived from ancient Greek used in ancient rhetoric, meaning 'beautiful and precious thoughts', and carries the message that we all have duality and must learn to acknowledge and embrace that duality to become our true selves.
