HaSeul, a solo artist and member of the up-and-coming Korean girl group ARTMS, has released her new digital single, “Fragile Eyes.” A city pop track rife with emotions and struggling realities of the youth such as isolation that comes with residing in cold, urban environments, the song isn’t a warm reassurance as is often expected in introspective compositions, but it feels comforting, connecting with a generation grappling with the complexities of adulthood.
Featuring a poignant and relatable sense of emotional fragility, “Fragile Eyes” weaves threads of deep emotions apparent in the opening lines, “Through the cracks of light/A piece of me shines bright/When it touches the walls filled with scribbles/Within those meanings/Deeply embedded scars/Quietly flow down/Unable to heal/When my pupils reflect my heart/Before I know it, it flows down.” The feeling is even stronger in the chorus, where the lines—“Shattered again, my fragile eyes/I’ve collapsed under that answer/Even if I ignore the change of my heart/Like the transparent glass/I’m coldly shattered/I can’t see it anymore/My reflection still fleeing away”—deeply convey the emotional chaos and the struggle to fully face the intensity of one’s fluctuating feelings.
Soft and delicate, “Fragile Eyes” finds an ideal expression in HaSeul’s dulcet vocals. The music builds a sonic ambiance that fits perfectly with the lyrics’ pensive mood by fusing the mild, nostalgia-tinged tones of city pop with modern sensibilities. The composition conjures a sense of contemplation and melancholy with its ethereal atmospheric sounds. It calls on listeners to accompany HaSeul as she wanders the intricacies of her inner world.
“Fragile Eyes” is an extension of HaSeul’s music. The lyrics in “Fragile Eyes” are super vivid, and the chill vibe of the sound pulls you in. It’s like she understands what we’re feeling and wraps it all up in her music. The artist has made a song that captures the many challenges we all encounter in our lives, from loneliness and heartbreak to hope. With heartfelt words and soulful melodies, it’s a reminder of the delicate nature of our existence and the emotions that intertwine our experiences.
