WISH Returns with First Mini-Album ‘WISH LIST’
Up-and-coming singer-songwriter WISH is making a heartfelt comeback with their debut mini-album ‘WISH LIST’, set to be released on June 28 at 6 PM KST across major digital music platforms.
Following the release of the single ‘what’s your wish?’ in December, this marks WISH’s return after six months. As a collection of stories that listeners can easily relate to, the album reflects WISH’s warm and emotional perspective. The artist personally took part in writing and composing every track, adding to its authenticity and musical completeness.
Retro Pop with a Modern Twist
The title track ‘PALM TREE’ stands out with its retro pop sound inspired by 1950s–60s old pop and rock ’n’ roll, revamped with a modern twist. Enhanced by a stylish band arrangement and a melody that lingers after just one listen, the song draws attention for its nostalgic yet refreshing appeal.
WISH uses the metaphor of a palm tree to subtly express the giddy excitement and romantic idealism of heading out to meet a loved one—bringing youthful emotions to life through poignant lyrics and delicate vocals.
Exploring a Palette of Emotions
In addition to the title track, the album features songs like ‘FALL’, ‘ECHO’, and ‘LOVE STORY’, showcasing WISH’s range across varied genres. From mellow ballads to upbeat pop sounds, the album highlights the artist’s versatility and evolving musical identity.
A Teaser with a Vintage Touch
WISH previously stirred excitement by releasing a teaser for the ‘PALM TREE’ music video. Set against the serene backdrop of Jeju Island and shot in camcorder-style cinematography, the teaser evokes a warm, analog charm that amplifies WISH’s sentimental aesthetic and builds anticipation for the full release.
Establishing a Distinct Musical Identity
Known for their unique emotional sensibility and vocal tone, WISH has quickly gained attention as a promising artist. With rich vocals and emotive storytelling, WISH has captured listeners’ hearts and aims to further cement their distinct musical color through ‘WISH LIST’.
Fans can stream ‘WISH LIST’ beginning June 28 on all major music platforms.
