Ailee has returned to the music scene after a year with her LP 'VIVID,' and on September 30, she held a music showcase at the Seoul Mapo District's Yes24 MUV Hall to officially kickoff her comeback!�

On her new album, Ailee said, "Once you listen to [my album] you will hear a variety of genres. I want to be a singer who challenges herself with different styles of music. I don't want to keep doing the same genre and sound; I want to try many different things," and admitted, "It's always nice to hear that I sing well," laughing.�

Ailee also mentioned her collaborations with f(x)'s Amber and CNBLUE's Jonghyun�for her new album, saying, "It was so fun because they are my friends. Jonghyun called me out of the blue and said he has a song that he really wanted me to feature on. So I gave it a listen, liked it, and we wrote the lyrics together, which resulted in an awesome song."�

She added, "Amber had finished the work [for our collaboration] a long time ago. Even after we recorded, my heart was fluttering and I just felt good inside. I think it's a blessing that you can do music with your friends. I felt the significance of doing something together because we all enjoy it."�
