I'm so luv starved 난 사랑에 굶주려 있어 Are you actually my type or do I just need a bite? 네가 마음에 들어서 그런 걸까 그저 외로워서 그런 걸까? - luv starved - |
2022년 3월 18일에 발매된
GAYLE의 데뷔 EP.
앨범 발매 전
롤링 스톤과 진행한 인터뷰에서
GAYLE은 이번 앨범에 대해 자신의 성장통은 담은 앨범이라고 밝혔다.
앨범은 시리즈 형태로 발매되었으며, 첫 번째 파트가 이 앨범이고, 두 번째 파트인
Volume two는
2022년 10월 7일에 발매되었다.
2021년 8월 13일, 앨범의 리드 싱글이자 메이저 데뷔 싱글인
abcdefu를 발매했다. 발매 초기
틱톡에서 바이럴되다
2022년 1월 시점에서 역주행에 성공한다.
빌보드 핫 100 4위,
Official Charts 1위를 달성하였다.
2022년 1월 19일, 리드 싱글의 흥행에 기세를 몰아 두번째 싱글인
ur just horny를 발매했다. 리드 싱글이 한창 흥행하고 있을 시점에 발매된 탓인지 리드 싱글에 비해 별다른 성과 없이 활동이 마무리되었다.
2월 23일,
롤링 스톤과의 인터뷰를 통해 앨범명과 앨범 발매일을 공개하였다. 앞서 서술한 싱글을 포함해 6곡이 수록될 예정.
3월 6일,
인스타그램을 통해 수록곡 중 하나인
sleeping with my friends의 제목을 공개하였으며, 다음 날까지 차례로
kiddie pool,
luv starved의 제목이 공개되었다. 얼마 지나지 않아 해당 곡들의 하이라이트 부분이 게일의
틱톡에 짧게 업로드되었다.
[2] sleeping with my friends, kiddie pool, luv starved
3월 13일, 셀프 프로듀싱 싱글로 발매되었던
z가 앨범에서
e-z라는 명으로 앨범에 수록될 예정이며,
UPSAHL과 Blu DeTiger이 피처링에 참여했다고 공개했다.
# 비주얼 필름은
4월 7일에 공개되었다.
#3월 18일, 예정대로
a study of the human experience가 발매되었다. 발매와 동시에 수록곡인 luv starved의 뮤비가 공개되었다.
#실물 앨범 발매 없이 없이 디지털 다운로드 형태로만 앨범이 발매되었지만, 3월 말부터 실물앨범 판매가 시작된 듯 하다.
#4월 21일, 수록곡인
sleeping with my friends의 비주얼 필름이 공개되었으며,
5월 4일에는 kiddie pool의 비주얼 필름이 마지막으로 공개되었다.
#2023년 1월 20일,
애틀랜틱 레코드의 창립 75주년을 맞이해
GAYLE을 포함한 소속 아티스트들의 바이닐 앨범이 공개되어 a study of the human experience 시리즈의 volume 1과
volume 2가 함께 수록된 바이닐의 사전 주문이 시작되었다.
#
- = 정식 싱글, = 프로모 싱글
- 트랙리스트는 Genius에 먼저 업로드 되었는데, 원인은 다음 음반 사이트에서 트랙리스트가 유출되었기 때문, #

[Verse 1] I was never shown how to love So I did my best to guess Everythin' a man ever wants A tiny girl in a dress A trophy for his friends That I didn't even like, so Tried to learn from mistakes I haven't made one in months But it's gettin' harder to take pushing away everyone You just had to show up And yeah, I'm not mad about it
[Pre-Chorus] Swear to God, I'ma change, but I'm agnostic All the loneliness is gettin' so exhaustin' Sick to my stomach, yeah, I'm feelin' kinda nauseous And I can't tell if it's you
[Chorus] I'm so love-starved Knowin' if I'm ready to trust you is goddamn hard You're pickin' at skin and bones I feel my lips, they're turning blue Are you great or something new? I'm so love-starved Are you actually my type or do I just need a bite? [Verse 2] Is it the fact that you're there, do I actually care? The potential of the latter's got me pullin' my hair out I'm a skeleton of the love I once had Yeah, it was so bad, but you're nothin' like that, yeah
[Pre-Chorus] Swear to God, I'ma change, but I'm agnostic All the loneliness is gettin' so exhaustin' Sick to my stomach, yeah, I'm feelin' kinda nauseous And I can't tell if it's you

[Bridge] (Oh-oh, oh-oh) Sick of bein' taken advantage by shitty guys (Oh-oh, oh-oh) Tell me if you're one of 'em, I'm losin' my mind (Oh-oh, oh-oh) Are you feeding me affection or just a bunch of lies? Is it me? Is it you? I don't really got a clue I don't got much left, but I might give it all to you [Chorus] I'm so love-starved Knowin' if I'm ready to trust you is goddamn hard You're pickin' at skin and bones I feel my lips, they're turning blue Are you great or something new? I'm so love-starved

[Verse 1] I got my "leave you before you leave me" type of mentality So for your every excuse You know I got two more I hate being needy, need you to need me Want you to want me Without me telling you to But what can I do?
[Pre-Chorus] I'll throw it all away if you ask me to All you gotta say is you'll do it too Deep down all I want is you
[Chorus] Don't want kiddie pools, I'm a fool, I want oceans On my tippy toes, hold your nose, fuck your floaties Call it what you want, but I'ma call it love Don't want kiddie pools, I'm a fool, I want oceans On my tippy toes, hold your nose, fuck your floaties Call it what you want, but I'ma call it love
[Verse 2] Don't mean to be a hypocrite, but you should make your choice quick 'Cause gettin' you to commit is like chasin' wind I'm tired, out of breath Good thing I'm persistent, oh, oh
[Pre-Chorus] I'll throw it all away if you ask me to All you gotta say is you'll do it too Deep down all I want is you
[Chorus] Don't want kiddie pools, I'm a fool, I want oceans On my tippy toes, hold your nose, fuck your floaties Call it what you want, but I'ma call it love Don't want kiddie pools, I'm a fool, I want oceans On my tippy toes, hold your nose, fuck your floaties Call it what you want, but I'ma call it love
[Post-Chorus] Love, love, love, love Love, love, love, love

- 애틀랜틱 레코드와 계약을 맺기 이전인 2020년에 게일이 해당 곡의 라이브 버전을 유튜브에 잠시 공개한 적이 있었다. 현재는 비공개 처리 되어 해당 버전을 직접적으로 들어볼 순 없으나, 현재 버전과는 사뭇 다른 스타일을 많이 느낄 수 있다. #
- 한 인터뷰에서 게일이 밝히길 kiddie pool이 포스트 말론을 위해 쓴 곡이라고 언급하였다. #
- 추후 발매된 앨범의 리믹스 EP에서 strings 버전으로 발매되었다.
성적에 대한 반응은 긍정적인 편보다 부정적인 편이 대체로 많은 편이다.
빌보드 200에서 138위로 차트인 하여 2주 밖에 차트인 하지 못한 것이 주 원인.
긍정적인 편의 입장에서는 해당 앨범은 실물 발매 형태가 아닌 디지털 스트리밍 형태의
EP앨범이고,
레이블에서는 앨범의 별다른 프로모션 또한 지원해주지 않은 데다가
게일은 무려 신인 아티스트인데 이 정도 성적이면 선방한 것이 아니냐는 의견을 제시하는 한 편, 부정적인 편의 입장에서는 빌보드 앨범차트가 개별 싱글 트랙들의 음원과 스트리밍을 합산해서 발표하기 때문에, 10위권 이내가 아닌 이상 딱히 의미가 없다는 의견이 대다수이다.
[3] 특히 리드 싱글인 abcdefu가 이미 빌보드 핫 100 상위권에 차트인해 있었기 때문에, 해당 싱글의 성적을 빼면 앨범차트 순위는 더 낮았을 것이라고 의견을 덧붙이고 있다.
결과를 따져 보면 위에서 언급한 별다른 홍보(프로모션)이 없었다고 하지만 앨범 홍보에 있어 가장 중요하다고 평가받는 싱글들, 특히
빌보드 핫 100 상위권을 차지하고 있었던
abcdefu의 주목도가 높았던 점을 감안하면 안타까운 성적인 것은 맞다. 디지털 스트리밍 형태로만 앨범이 발매되었다고는 하지만 이러한 형식으로 발매되는 앨범들이 많아지고 있는 추세인 것도 사실이기에 딱히 위안 삼을 거리가 되지 않으며,
게일처럼
틱톡으로 이름을 알리고 있는 아티스트들이 싱글만 흥행하고 앨범이 히트하지 못하는 비슷한 루트를 타는 사례도 많아지고 있다. 따라서
게일은 앞으로 이름을 더 알릴 수 있는 히트곡을 발매하는 것이 중요해 보인다.
- 앨범 발매 전 인스타그램을 통해 앨범의 파트 1(volume one) 이 있으면 2번째 파트(volume two) 도 있지 않겠냐는 게시물을 포스팅하며 앨범이 2개의 파트로 나누어 발매될 예정이라는 것을 간접적으로 언급하였다. #
- 앨범 커버를 자세히 보면 수록곡들의 이름이 적혀진 모습을 볼 수 있다.
