옷장(Closet), 답답(DAPP DAPP), 눈치가 없다(Snail).
세 곡 모두 경쾌한 비트의 음악이지만 그에 상반되는 가사가 KONA의 내면의 이야기에 더 귀를 기울이게 만든다.
앨범 타이틀 곡인 ‘옷장’은 이전에 꽁꽁 넣어놓고 외면했던 것들을 옷장 채로 불태워버린다는 내용의 곡이다.
예전엔 숨겨왔다면 이제는 불태우고 깨부시며 이겨내면 어떨까라는 제안을 건내온다. 감칠맛나는 윤석철의 피처링이 돋보이는 하우스 곡이다.
두번째 곡인 ‘답답’은 내 맘이 내 맘대로 안되는 기분을 담은 곡이다. 아름다운 목소리로 답답함을 호소하는 마샬(MRSHLL)의 보컬과 가사에 집중해 들어보면 마음에 위로가 될 것이다.
마지막 곡인 ‘눈치가 없다’는 인간이 사회적 동물로서 관계형성에 있어 서로 최소한의 예의는 지키고 살자라는 의미를 담은 곡이다. 몽글몽글한 사운드와 어우러지는 유라(youra)의 목소리가 귀와 마음을 즐겁게 해준다.
이 앨범의 모든 곡은 서로 생각을 주고 받은 내용을 토대로 각 아티스트들과 함께 가사 작업을 했다.
그렇게 이번 앨범으로 KONA가 처음으로 자신의 마음을 내보인다. 경쾌한 비트와는 상반되는 가사에 집중해 이 앨범을 즐기면 한층 더 재미있는 감상이 될 것이다. 그럼 이제 KONA의 내면의 이야기를 들어보자.

KONA brought her third album with the title of ‘Closet’, that begins her story with three songs with quite straightforward titles.
Closet, DAPP DAPP, Snail.
All of the three songs are made with cheerful beats, but the contrasting lyrics will make you listen more carefully to KONA’s inner story.
The album's title track, ‘Closet’, is about burning thoughts and emotions that were previously kept in the closet and turned away.
If it had been hidden in the past, now she is suggesting to finish them by burning and breaking the closet down. With Yoon Seok-Chul's featuring, this song is much more enjoyable.
The second song, ‘DAPP DAPP' is about one’s mind that is not under one’s control. Focus on MRSHLL's sweet voice and the lyrics, then you will be comforted by the song.
The last song, ‘Snail’ is about the minimum courtesy between people which helps to form a better relationship. With the lovely voice of youra, which blends well with the soft sound of the track, will delight both your ears and your mind.
All of the songs in this album were written by each artist based on their thoughts and experiences that were shared with KONA. With this album, KONA will show her real thoughts for the first time. If you focus on the lyrics that are a contrast to the cheerful beat you will be able to enjoy this album even more. Now let's listen to KONA's own story.
