SAILING
3rd FULL ALBUM
09-25-2019
From PLAY to 사춘기, AKMU’s albums have reflected the growth of Lee Chanhyuk and Lee Suhyun, capturing emotions that resonate across different stages of life—from childlike innocence to youthful curiosity and first love. Released after the duo entered their twenties, SAILING marks a turning point. Centered on the theme of “breakup,” the album portrays AKMU as young adults stepping out into the world for the first time, leaving behind the shelter that once protected them. Through metaphorical lyrics and a refreshing band sound, SAILING expresses complex emotions with clarity and restraint. More than a reflection of growth, SAILING is an album of comfort—offering quiet reassurance to those navigating change in the present moment.
