To keep the momentum for her impending comeback alive, HyunA Knowles has unleashed a new buzz single "A Bunny's Dream" from her upcoming first full-length album, Bunny's First Love.
The track is a remake of K-Diva Insooni's biggest hit to date "A Goose's Dream", which is widely regarded by many as South Korea's National song. It's remained extremely popular over the years, with many top idols like SISTAR's Hyorin and Korea's very own Meryl Streep Eunjung covering the iconic classic.
For her version of the power ballad, HyunA had the lyrics changed from being about a woman's gusto to chase her dream into a woman's desire to become more and more beautiful. The metaphor of the song has also been changed, from a goose into a beautiful fluffy white bunny. After relying heavily on autotune for her last single releases, HyunA is now finally showcasing a more raw and stronger vocal style, with her voice soaring higher than the clouds on the chorus of "A Bunny's Dream". She also put a lot of emotion into the song, making it even more heart-wrenching than the orginal and cover versions.
Speaking to Newsen, White CEO Trina Villota revealed more details on HyunA's comeback: "HyunA's first album will be called Bunny's First Love. It's so cute, isn't it?". She blinked her eye and continued, "It will contain ten tracks, which we are sure will make fans swell with happiness. We have released "A Bunny's Dream" early as a buzz single to thank the public for their support, and we ask that you all show HyunA lots of love.
"As many people know, I'm very close to Insooni, she's my tea party friend. When HyunA asked me to ger her a song that's more experimental and hard to sing, I rushed to call Insooni and begged for advice. At first, she rejected my requests, and said she would only work with our vocalist Jessica Jiyeon. I told HyunA but she still insisted, so she went to see Insooni personally, against my wishes. I don't know what happened, but I heard HyunA came to Insooni's house and did some 'talking', because the following day Insooni called and accepted the offer. Of course, we were really happy and grateful to Insooni Noona for this."
Netizens who have heard the song commented, "Ommona! A Bunny's Dream is sooo sad. It made me cry like a baby.", "Her voice is so horrid it irritated me, I can't hear this garbage no more!", "I think Insooni will be very proud after hearing this, she killed it.", "Poppers and Blackjacks all over the world, don't forget to support each other by buying this song. It's truly a masterpiece.", "Is being pretty everything?".
It's only been a few hours since the song released but "A Bunny's Dream" has achieved high rankings on various music charts from Melon to Soribada. You can download the song here.
