Description

• Korean

HaSeul’s “Plastic Candy” is a solo track being unveiled at her first concert, ‘Music Studio 81.8Hz’. As a song revealed before her solo album, like a gift, it weaves its lyrics with the moon as motif.

Showing off HaSeul’s charm as a vocalist with lithe yet pretty lines, producer SWEETCH who also produced LOONA’s “Sonatine (알 수 없는 비밀)” and city pop artist Choi HEART completed the song in city pop genre for HaSeul.

Starting with ODD EYE CIRCLE’s album <Version Up>, to HaSeul’s small theater concert, until HeeJin’s solo album <K>. Continuously building up, the secretive idols ARTMS have started preparing for an album aiming for early next year.

하슬의 ‘Plastic Candy’는 그녀의 첫 콘서트 ‘Music Studio 81.8Hz’에서 선보이는 솔로 곡이다. 솔로 앨범에 앞서 선물처럼 팬들에게 공개하는 곡으로서 달을 모티브로 하여 노랫말을 풀어냈다.

가녀리면서도 예쁜 선을 가진 보컬리스트로서의 하슬의 매력을 한껏 드러내며, 특히 이달의 소녀의 ‘알 수 없는 비밀(Sonatine)’를 프로듀싱한 SWEETCH와 시티팝 아티스트 최하트가 하슬을 위해 시티팝 장르로 곡을 완성했다.

ODD EYE CIRCLE의 앨범 <Version Up>을 시작으로 하슬의 소극장 콘서트. 희진의 솔로 앨범 <K>까지. 쉴새 없이 빌드업을 하는 비밀스런 아이돌 ARTMS는 내년 초를 목표로 앨범 준비에 들어갔다.

Lyrics

Korean
Shine a through the city 여길 비추는 달은 유난히 더 선명해 하얀유리 구슬 같은 실루엣 그게 또 날 불러내 무색무채 결정과 처음 마주쳤을때 돌이킬틈 없이 순식간에 녹았어 오 왜이래 나 이 달콤한 기분이 착각인줄 다 알면서 계속 삼키려해 투명한 Plastic candy 그 속에서 새어나온 은은한 빛이 더 어지럽게해 향기조차 없는 이자그마한 조각을 또 머금네 분명하게 가득 달콤했다고 그렇게 널 기억하고파 입안을 채운 Plastic candy 뱉어야 하는데 습관처럼 왼쪽볼로 너를 넘겨 투명한 Plastic candy 그 속에서 새어나온 은은한 빛이 더 어지럽게해 향기조차 없는 이자그마한 조각을 또 머금네 투명한 Plastic candy 그 속에서 피어나온 은은한 빛이 더 어지럽게해 향기조차 없는 이자그마한 조각을 또 머금네 투명한 Plastic candy 은은한 빛이 더 향기조차 없는

Translation
Shine a through the city, here it bathes in light The moon’s especially clear tonight Like a white glass bead, a silhouette That calls for me once again When I first met the colorless clear crystal I melted in a moment, no undoing it Oh, why am I like this This sweet sensation I know it’s an illusion Yet I keep trying to swallow Clear plastic candy Leaking from within The soft light Makes me dizzier Without even a scent This tiny shard I hold in my mouth again It was certainly so sweet I want to remember you like that Plastic candy filling my mouth I should spit it out But like a habit, to my left cheek I pass you over Clear plastic candy Leaking from within The soft light Makes me dizzier Without even a scent This tiny shard I hold in my mouth again Clear plastic candy Blooming from within The soft light Makes me dizzier Without even a scent A tiny shard I hold in my mouth again Clear plastic candy The soft light even more Without even a scent
