Yves Makes Her Solo Debut With Her First EP ‘LOOP’

On May 29, Yves released her first solo EP ‘LOOP‘ marking her debut as a soloist.

“This album is the first step to creating my world as a solo artist. I’ve been following certain rules and systems for a long time as a part of the group. To me, this album represents my first challenge to get out of a pre-made loop of rules, study myself, and express it through music. Therefore, this EP is immature yet bold, rough yet honest. It also contains my gratitude for fans who have been waiting for me with trust. My CEO, MILLIC, participated as an executive producer for LOOP, and IOAH and blah presented one song each. I am very grateful for all my colleague artists at the company as they supported and cheered on my solo debut.” – Yves

The title, ‘LOOP’ is symbolic of breaking out of the group structure that Yves was a part of and embarking on an individual journey to explore her musicality and color. Through ‘LOOP’, Yves is poised to reveal her wholly authentic self and aims to share music that mirrors her quest for serenity. With this new chapter in her career, Yves invites her fans and listeners to join her pursuit of peace.

Yves’ debut EP, ‘LOOP’ is a collaborative effort of IOAH, blah, and MILLIC, the Paix Per Mil artists and their executive producer. The EP includes four new songs: ‘LOOP,’ ‘Diorama,’ ‘Afterglow’ and ‘금붕어(Goldfish)‘. ‘LOOP’ acts as the title track of the EP and features the South Korean-American rapper Lil Cherry. The title track is an expression of the dilemma one feels when they are stuck in an unbreakable loop. In ‘Diorama’, Yves describes her innermost emotions while confronting her idealized self. ‘Afterglow’ explores the conflicting feelings of being caught between a thrilling new love and an already familiar one. The final track, ‘금붕어(Goldfish)’, is a comforting message to the fans who have stood by Yves and watched her grow over the years.

Yves is a South Korean singer, songwriter, and television personality. She was a member of the K-Pop girl group LOONA and leader of its third sub-unit, yyxy. Yves debuted on November 14, 2017, as a member of LOONA and subsequently, released her solo single album Yves on November 28, 2017, as part of the ‘Girl of the Month’ project.
