Album Notes & Community Reviews

Seeking to definitively shed her carefully cultivated innocent 'little sister' idol image, the Korean superstar embraced a highly sophisticated, vintage jazz-pop aesthetic on her third album. The record expertly weaves swinging big band arrangements, bossa nova rhythms, and acoustic gypsy jazz to highlight her remarkable vocal versatility.
