Taeyeon from Girls' Generation has returned. Today (18th) at 6 PM, she released her 6th mini-album "Letter To Myself" and unveiled the music video for the title track "Letter To Myself." The title track "Letter To Myself" is a pop rock genre song that harmonizes guitar sounds with a lyrical yet explosive melody. Taeyeon's singing, pouring all her emotions into it, along with the grand track, creates a dramatic atmosphere, allowing listeners to feel her rich and delicate sensibility. The lyrics are a serious letter from her current self to her past self who has hurt herself, conveying awkward yet unwavering words of comfort that she had kept in her heart. The introduction, which highlights Taeyeon's pure voice, begins with "I wrote a letter to myself, awkwardly writing down the words I had held back, hoping you won't lose yourself more than any words." It continues with "Days of wandering while lost, a shadowed heart, and there I was, unchanged. I could be good, I could be bad, I want to comfort you again over the pain of my childhood self." Taeyeon expresses her emotions honestly, telling her past self not to hate her for conveying her feelings now, even the scars of her hurt heart. She continues with lines like "My head, my head, my head, my head, all the nights I made myself cry, repainting memories," and "My head, my head, my head, my head, the nights only I can hear, never letting go of myself." This reflects her vow to fill past pain with new memories and not to lose herself. Taeyeon dramatically expresses comforting emotions, alternating between low and high notes, singing carefully like caressing, enhancing the immersion with her dynamic control. In this album, which incorporates stories about her emotions facing the external world and focusing on her inner world, Taeyeon aims to convey a warm message of comfort through her journey of self-affirmation. The title track is a candid letter of comfort to her hurt past self, soothing the wounds of listeners as well. Besides the title track, the album includes six songs of various genres, such as the charismatic pop track "Hot Mess," the gentle and warm R&B song "Blue Eyes," the delicate and calm R&B track "Strangers," the heavy-sounding R&B song "Blur," and the pop rock genre "Disaster" that stimulates sensibility with captivating vocals.
