Background

[edit]

On January 27, 2016, SM Entertainment founder Lee Soo-man revealed the company's new projects for Hallyu wave during an SMTown event where he formally established new boy band NCT and formed a digital musical channel called SM Station where SM artists will release digital tracks every Friday.[2] He envisioned various artists, songwriters, and producers to collaborate with SM artists for this platform. On the same day, it was revealed that Girls' Generation's Taeyeon would be the first to release a material by dropping a teaser video for "Rain."[3] On March 30, 2017, SM Entertainment announced that all the songs from the first season will be compiled into an album scheduled to be released on April 6.[1]

Composition

[edit]

Disc One

[edit]
Taeyeon is the first artist to release a Station song

On February 3, Taeyeon offically released "Rain", a jazz-R&B song and the first under Station banner.[4] On February 19, D.O. and SM's in-house record producer Yoo Young-jin released an R&B song "Tell Me (What Is Love)", a reworked version of the original song that previously appeared in Exo's first live album.[5] Yoon Mi-rae became the first non-SM artist to release a Station track by releasing ballad song "Because of You" on February 26, with collaborations from Kenzie and Matthew Tishler.[6]

On March 4, Eric Nam and Red Velvet's Wendy released an acoustic song "Spring Love."[7] Yoona and 10cm released "Deoksugung Stonewall Walkway" on March 11.[8] Jonghyun and vocal quintet Heritage released an acoustic pop song "Your Voice" on March 18.[9] Amber released an English synth hip-hop song "Borders" on March 25, where she actively participated in the song's lyrics, music, and arrangements.[10]

On April 1, Station had its first classical release through the release of "Regrets and Resolutions" by pianist Moon Jung-jae and flutist Kim Il-ji. The song itself was a cover of the original by Gary Schocker which was released in 2014.[11] On April 8, Chen, Heize, and Vibe released dance-funk song "Lil' Something".[12] Medium-tempo rock-ballad "Narcissus" was released on April 15 by M&D featuring Wheein from Mamamoo. M&D members Heechul participated in penning the lyrics while Jungmo composed, arranged, and produced the song.[13] The next Friday, Kim Bum-soo and Kenzie released Latin pop song "Pain Poem", in which the latter were responsible for the production.[14] The Station released "Mindjack" on April 29, the first heavy metal instrumental for the project. It was recorded by progressive metal band Inlayer.[15] The first CD concludes with "Wave", a progressive house song released on May 6 by R3hab featuring f(x) members Amber and Luna, and Xavi&Gi.[16]

Disc two

[edit]
Lay (pictured in 2017) made his solo debut through "Monodrama" and the song itself is the first Mandarin track in the project

The second disc begins with "The Day", a folk ballad song performed by K.Will and Baekhyun which was released on May 13. The song expressed regret and longing for a past love.[17] On May 20, Dana released "Touch You", a sentimental ballad song with its lyrics narrating honest message about music and dreams.[18] Lay made his solo debut through the release of "Monodrama" on May 27, where he actively took part in the production of the song. The song fell under R&B genre and was the first Station release in Mandarin.[19]
