1輯 - VIRGIN

「After School’ The 1st Album ‘VIRGIN’」  바람에 향기가 스치우고, 달콤한 상상이 시작된다.   아름다움에 대한 새로운 정의 ‘VIRGIN’   5월, 지금까지 느껴보지 못한 사랑스러움과 페미닌한 감성을 담은 애프터스쿨이 정규앨범 ‘VIRGIN’을 들고 찾아온다. 모던하고 세련된 감성, 자신감 넘치는 태도와 독립적인 사고방식, 그리고 내면의 아름다움을 바로 보는 시선, 바로 애프터스쿨이 추구하는 모든 것을 음악으로 이야기 한다.   Bang! 이후 1년 만에, 그리고 데뷔 이후 처음으로 발매하는 정규앨범을 통해 애프터스쿨은 음악을 통해 대중 속으로 다가가는 방법을 찾았다.   ‘VIRGIN’이라는 앨범 타이틀에 맞게 처음을 시작하는 마음으로 애프터스쿨만의 음악, 그리고 아름다움과 자신감을 ‘VIRGIN’에 담았으며 이번 앨범을 그동안 보여줬던 애프터스쿨의 섹시한 감성, 수줍은 괴짜의 본능을 감추고 숨겨져 있었던 애프터스쿨만의 사랑스러우면서도 신비로운 감성을 내뿜는 상반되는 모습들까지 유연한 매력을 표현해 담았다.   애프터스쿨의 첫 번째 정규앨범인 ‘VIRGIN’은 장준호, 송양하 등이 참여해 어느 곡 하나 타이틀 곡으로 손색 없을 정도로 앨범의 완성도를 높였다. 특히 타이틀곡인 ‘Shampoo’는 ‘최고’라는 수식어가 아깝지 않는 ‘그 남자’의 작사가 인 시인 원태연과, ‘하루하루’의 공동 프로듀서이자 일본 최고의 작곡가 다이시 댄스가 만나 섬세하고 감성적인 피아노 선율이 만나 최고의 곡 구성을 이끌어 냈으며, 애프터스쿨이 표현하는 부드러운 보컬과 파워풀한 랩이 환상적으로 어우러져 높은 관심이 기대되고 있다.   Pre-school girl(예비 입학생)이 피처링에 참여한 색다른 분위기의 ‘펑키맨(Funky man)’, ‘드림(Dream’은 애프터스쿨만이 지닌 매력을 다시 한번 느낄 수 있는 곡이며, ‘마이 벨 (My bell)’과 ‘시간에 기대어’는 애프터스쿨의 대표 보컬인 정아와 레이나의 솔로곡으로 그 동안 퍼포먼스에 가려져 있던 그녀들의 진정한 음악 세계를 만날 수 있다.   또한 장준호가 선사한 ‘Let’s Step up’는 정규1집을 대표하는 intro곡으로 애프터스쿨 특유의 팀컬러가 잘 묻어나는 파워풀한 곡이며, 유지상의 ‘play ur love’’는 밝은 멜로디와 대조적으로 이별에 대한 아픈 가사가 가희, 정아, 레이나, 나나의 감성적인 보이스와 만나 애절하고도 독특한 느낌을 전해주는 R&B곡이다.   이 밖에도 미국과 영국의 핫트렌드로 떠오른 Dance-Pop 스타일로 강렬하면서도 섹시함이 묻어나는 곡으로 애프터스쿨의 터프하고도 쿨한 매력이 담긴 ‘Virgin’, 전통 발라드로 풍부하고 섬세한 사운드와 정아,레이나,나나,이영의 보이스의 만남이 돋보이는 ‘잘 지내고 있죠’ 등이 수록되어 있다.   이처럼 애프터스쿨의 정규 1집은 타이틀 곡 ‘Shampoo’를 비롯 송양하, 니아밴드의 최영신, 다이시댄스, 박덕상 등 쟁쟁한 뮤지션들이 참여한 댄스, 발라드, 하우스 뮤직등 다양한 느낌의 신곡 9곡과 싱글 수록곡 3곡까지 총 12곡으로 풍성하게 구성, 애프터스쿨의 다채로운 매력을 선사해 다시금 음악 팬들을 애프터스쿨 열풍에 빠지게 할 전망이다.
