Biography:

Groups are typically divided into two categories – the typical female K-pop idol groups and the female bands with their drums, guitars, etc. Vanilla Lucy, however, is an exception. Its members play the cello, saxophone and violin, not your typical band instruments. Though there are other types of groups like Vanilla Lucy (i.e. Miji), Vanilla Lucy is able to exert a certain oomph and thus made me want to find out more information about. Since their short debut, I have become an avid follower.

Although the cello and violin may turn away some potential listeners because of their classical connotation, they are not at all detracting from the music. They create an interesting interaction with the main vocal melody as well as a well-rounded texture of sounds. The addition of the saxophone gives the music a romantic and jazzy feel. The unique mixture of these instruments also allows for the coverage of a wide range of pitches. The violin can hit notes higher than the normal soprano voice, while the cello can go much lower than what the normal female voice can sing. Additionally, all three instrumentalists are quite talented and are well adapted to performing on stage.

Da Hae, the vocalist, is not to be ignored, however. Her sweet voice is quite versatile as it can easily switch between different genres of music. At some points, her voice is pure, accenting a choir-like quality in the melody. In other songs, her voice is upbeat and carries a viscous-like texture.

Vanilla Lucy is set to be performing more on the regular music shows and their first album is also set to release on the 3rd of June.
