About “Layover” Album
Layover is a pop R&B-based album fused with V’s uniqueness and sensibility. It was created through a fresh collaboration between V and ADOR’s president and executive producer Hee Jin Min.
The entire production process including music, choreography, design promotion, etc. was supervised by Min.
The tracks
- Slow Dancing is a pop R&B song based on the 1970s romantic soul sound. It is imbued with a free-spirited and laid-back vibe.
- Rainy Days is an alternative pop R&B track. A perfect mix of vintage percussion and modern drum sounds gives off a unique vibe.
- Blue acclaims old-school R&B with a modern twist in sound. It employs deep bass and crispy drum sounds along with the repetitive hook that encapsulates V’s delicate sensibility.
- Love Me Again is a R&B track that is based on the 1970’s soul sound. The evident gospel and jazz elements make it warmer and richer to the ear.
- For Us is an alternative R&B that leaves a lasting impression with synth pad sounds, warm chorus vocals, and a vintage piano sound. It expresses the sadness of one barely being able to reach the other.
- Slow Dancing (Piano Version) is a piano arrangement of the focus track.
