Yves did not produce any of the songs on her first solo EP, ‘Loop’. But that doesn’t mean the album is any less about the singer-songwriter.

Yves is no stranger to songwriting – she wrote the lyrics for Loona‘s 2022 track “Playback” and gifted the Loossemble with two songs she’d written and produced, “Strawberry soda” and “Truman Show”.

I have been working on my own songs during my break, but I’ve also wondered what it would like to have a song about my charms produced by a third party,

“I’ve been working on my own songs during my break, but I’ve also been wondering what it would be like to have a song about my charms produced by a third party,” former Loona member Yves said during a press showcase on Wednesday afternoon at Ilchi Art Hall in Gangnam District, southern Seoul, ahead of the EP’s 6pm release.

I’m just starting my journey, and I’m sure there will be many chances where I can showcase songs that I wrote. Hopefully, I’ll be able to produce even better songs later

But I’m just starting my journey, and I’m sure there will be many chances where I can showcase songs that I wrote. Hopefully, I’ll be able to produce even better songs later,” she said.

That was one of the reasons why she chose Paix Per Mil, a relatively small agency founded by producer millic, as she the producers of the agency — including millic himself — had the ability to “choose the songs that best suited” her and “produce songs with the charms of Yves.”

I think the music produced by CEO millic had a great impact on me; I was curious to see how his alternative music could work with the music of an idol singer

Yves’ first EP, coming 6.5 years after her first solo single “Yves” was released under her debut project, features four songs: the title track, “Diorama,” “Afterglow” and “Goldfish.”

Title track “Loop” is an alternative score, featuring house rhythms, which depicts the desire to escape the “everyday loop,” while also being thankful for said loop.

Yves, with her first solo EP, also sought to define her own vocals — one of the main reasons she opted to go solo rather than join another girl group.

I wanted my vocals not to be defined by a single term; that’s why I tried to sing with different tonality and pronunciation
