After the excitement that came from the news that Jin is to release his highly-anticipated first solo album Happy, the track list fuelled that happiness.
Reflecting the title of the album, the tracklist poster exudes a light-hearted, joyful mood with colorful confetti-like dots and stars against a bright red backdrop. It evokes the feeling of receiving a specially-adorned gift along with the phrase ‘TRUE HAPPINESS TRUE LOVE’ at the bottom of the poster, adding a heartfelt touch.
Happy features a total of six tracks including the main track Running Wild and pre-release single I’ll Be There, the latter of which is set to drop on October 25 ahead of the album. Other tracks include Another Level, Falling, I will come to you. Fans were especially excited to see that Wendy, an exceptionally talented singer of girl group Red Velvet fame will duet with Jin on the track Heart on the Window.
Through Happy, Jin collaborates with a diverse range of global musicians and achieves a new level of artistic growth and versatility. Gary Barlow of Take That, often dubbed the most successful British pop band since The Beatles, participated as one of the producers on the main track Running Wild.
Additionally, Taka and Toru of the renowned Japanese rock band ONE OK ROCK are credited on Falling. Jin’s duet with WENDY in Heart on the Window further enhances Jin’s soft, intricate vocals that demand to be put on repeat.
Happy reflects Jin’s honest contemplation on happiness, which holds significant importance to him. Embarking on a journey to find the true meaning of happiness, Jin aims to share a sense of warmth and comfort through a true, authentic expression of himself as a solo artist. The album will be available in three versions, each designed to reflect the said comfort he wishes to extend to fans. The packaging contents include colourful stickers, and encouraging and hopeful slogans adorn the packaging with phrases such as “small joys accumulate into great happiness- seek those joys today, “your potential knows no limits,” “happiness is hidden close by; You’ll find it today” and “your dreams haven’t forgotten you.”
Pre-orders for Happy are now available. Further information on the album as well as online and offline retailers can be found on Weverse.
