Solar (MAMAMOO) – But I

Solar is having fun. :)

Solar, the radiant leader and vocalist of the South Korean girl group MAMAMOO, has once again graced the music scene with her solo track “But I”. This song is a part of her second mini-album “COLOURS”, which was released on April 30, 2024. The album showcases Solar’s versatility as an artist, featuring a variety of genres including house, rock, pop ballad, R&B, folk, and blues.

MAMAMOO, managed by RBW, was created with the vision of bringing powerful vocals and unique personalities together. Solar, alongside Moonbyul, Wheein, and Hwasa, debuted with MAMAMOO on June 18, 2014, and has since been a defining force in the K-pop industry. The group is known for breaking stereotypes and pushing artistic boundaries, which is evident in their music and performances.

“But I” stands out as a track that combines the genres of R&B and rock to create an addictive melody that oscillates between sorrow and exhilaration. The song is described as a cathartic experience for listeners, offering a narrative of revenge against those who have caused hurt. Solar’s participation in the lyrics writing process adds a personal touch to the track, drawing attention to her songwriting skills.

The credits for “But I” are as follows:
– Lyricists: Solar, Kim Do-hoon, Lee Hu-sang
– Composers: Kim Do-hoon, Lee Hu-sang, Jenabi
– Arrangers: Kim Do-hoon, Lee Hu-sang

The music video for “But I” was filmed in the vast landscapes of Mongolia, featuring Solar in a striking red dress, playing the piano, and riding a white horse across the meadows. The imagery of breaking a piano with a hammer and Solar’s powerful rock band vocals make for a compelling visual and auditory experience.

Solar’s “But I” is more than just a song; it’s a statement of her artistic evolution and a celebration of her decade-long journey in the music industry. With “COLOURS”, Solar paints a vivid picture of her musical spectrum, leaving fans and critics alike in anticipation of what she will create next.

Leaders having fun ❤️ (Chorong from Apink with her bestie Solar).
