앨범 소개

TOKAY의 세 번째 앨범 [lowview]는 말 그대로 '낮은 시점'에서 바라본 세상을 지극히 개인적인 시선으로 그려낸 작품이다. 삶의 다양한 순간 속에서 감정의 수치가 낮아졌을 때 찾아오는 느낌들을 담담한 랩으로 풀어냈다.

이번 음반은 2024년 [HOME MADE] 발매 이후 오랜만에 선보이는 신보로, 지난 [DS TAPE] 시리즈를 함께했던 프로듀서 "Matt Freeman"이 프로듀싱은 물론 두 곡의 피처링으로 참여해 힘을 실었다. 여기에 "Rual", "Mercus", "종민" 등 동료들과의 밀도 높은 협업이 더해져 완성도 높은 총 10개의 트랙이 수록되었다.

특히 이번 앨범은 트랙이 전개됨에 따라 극적인 분위기의 전환을 보여준다. 첫 곡에서 선보이는 신나고 고조된 에너지와 달리, 트랙을 거듭하며 'lowview(낮은 시점)'에 깊게 몰입할수록 음악은 점차 차분하고 묵직하게 가라앉으며 깊은 몰입감을 선사한다.

1번부터 10번까지 유기적으로 설계된 감정선을 '낮은 시점에서 위를 바라보듯' 따라가다 보면, 어느새 고층 빌딩 꼭대기 위를 비행하는 듯한 해방감과 자유로움을 마주하게 될 것이다.
