In a highly anticipated return, IU, the beloved South Korean singer-songwriter, is set to release her new album, ‘Flower Bookmark 3’, on the 27th of this month. This marks her first musical project in eight years. During this time, IU captivated audiences with her acting in popular dramas like ‘Flower of Evil’ and ‘My English Puberty 100 Hours’. ‘Flower Bookmark 3’ continues her remake project, allowing her to reinterpret classic songs with her unique emotional depth. This journey began with her previous albums in 2014 and 2017.
Fans of IU know her talent for transforming well-loved tracks into fresh experiences. Notable remakes from her earlier works include ‘Autumn Morning’ and ‘Your Meaning’. She retains the charm of the originals while adding her artistic flair.
The album cover art reflects a nostalgic, warm analog aesthetic. It showcases IU leaning against a vintage payphone, evoking memories of simpler times. The title track, ‘Never Ending Story’, originally by the band Buhwal in 2002, promises the emotional resonance that fans expect from IU.
‘Flower Bookmark 3’ features six tracks, including remakes of beloved songs like ‘Red Sneakers’ and ‘October 4th’. Among them, ‘Square’s Dream’ stands out as a nostalgic piece for the current generation. This song has been part of textbooks and children’s albums for over two decades. To promote it, a teaser video designed in a Minecraft-style world has been released. This creative approach enhances the song’s message and engages younger fans playfully.
Accompanying the album’s launch, a tracklist video featuring retro computer graphics and sounds has also been shared. This evokes a sense of nostalgia that resonates with both old and new fans alike. Additionally, an ARS event kicked off on the 20th. This event allows fans to call a special number to hear IU’s voice and exclusive snippets from the album, generating significant buzz.
As the release time approaches, ‘Flower Bookmark 3’ will be available on music streaming platforms at 6 PM on the 27th. Anticipation is building for what promises to be a remarkable comeback for IU. With her ability to blend nostalgia with contemporary creativity, IU is set to captivate audiences once again. This album is a must-listen for both fans and newcomers to the Korean music industry.
