Beautiful Night is the fourth EP by South Korean singer Yesung. It was released on May 3, 2021, by SM Entertainment and Label SJ, and distributed by Dreamus.[3] The EP consists of seven tracks in total, including the lead single of the same name.

Background

In April 2021, SM Entertainment announced that Yesung would release his fourth extended play album in May, following the release of Pink Magic back in June 2019. Pre-release single "Phantom Pain" was released on April 24 to generate fan hype for the comeback.[4] On May 3, 2021, the music video for lead single "Beautiful Night" was released on 6 PM KST alongside the EP, which featured actress Park Gyu-young.[5] [6]

Composition

The lead single, "Beautiful Night," is classified into a city pop genre. The song's second half features a more dynamic and rhythmic brass arrangement along with a prominently featured nostalgic tone.[7] Pre-release single "Phantom Pain" is the second track of the album. Classified as an indie pop song, the track features a soft electric guitar and rhythmic drum sound in the background with its lyrics likening a breakup into a medical condition of the same name as the track.[8] "Corazón Perdido (Lost Heart)" is a dream pop song fused with rock flavor featuring a lyrical acoustic guitar and a heavy bass in the background before the song became more energetic due to Yesung's vocals.[9] "Fireworks" is the second city pop genre song from the album. The lyrics are about the colors of fireworks and how they made singer felt sparkling like them. The song is accompanied by a bouncy bass line and synthesizers.[9] "No More Love" is another dream pop song in the album, featuring calming lyrics with minimalist band sounds.[9] "Like Us" is an R&B song with its lyrics explaining that an excitement would not fade as time goes. The song is accompanied by an electric piano and a guitar melody resembling a spring breeze.[9] The last track, "A Letter in the Wind" is a poetic song describing the singer's love for the interlocutor so that it can be blown by the wind to reach them.[9]

Promotion

The promotion of the album was preceded with release of the music video for "Phantom Pain", on April 23.[10] Three days later on April 26, Yesung talked about the creation of the album in a video uploaded in Super Junior's YouTube channel. The music video for the lead single "Beautiful Night" is released on the same day as the album's release on May 3. The following day on May 4, Yesung released a behind the scenes video of the "Phantom Pain" and "Beautiful Night" music videos.

Live performances

Yesung performed several songs from the EP in his online fan meeting concert, Yesung Special Event: "I'll Light Your Way" on July 25, 2021.[11]
