Jisoo’s first solo album “ME” contains two meanings, which are her unique color as a solo singer and her original beauty. “Flower” is a song with a unique sound base and minimal arrangement. It harmoniously mixed poetic lyrics, melody, and Jisoo’s unique vocals to create a dreamy and addictive atmosphere.
