comment
Hotter and Sexier: "I Got Love" most certainly is, with much more seductive lyrics and vocals than what Taeyeon usually goes after. "Shhh" has no business sounding so seductive, especially since it's a Christmas song. It's worth mentioning that the live performance has confetti being blasted right as the climax of the song hits. Taeyeon is audibly trying not to laugh in some points of the song.

Darker and Edgier: Downplayed. While Girls' Generation's stuff is considered to be fun and "poppy", Taeyeon's music is far moodier and biting. It should be noted that she does veer into "fun" territory every now and then, such as in her 2016 mini-album Why. Taken to new heights with "Can't Control Myself," in which both the song and video portray her as the victim of an emotionally abusive relationship.

comment
Genre Shift: In general, Taeyeon's solo work is stylistically different than Girls' Generation. While her group goes for bubblegum and electronic pop, her solo work leans toward R&B, soul, ballad, and alternative pop with some pop, pop-rock, and jazz snuck in there.

New Sound Album
 Taeyeon (Music) / int_22093e9b
comment
New Sound Album: Why and Something New both largely stray from the acoustic pop and ballads she's most famously known for. What Do I Call You and INVU are rather somber lyrically, but have a more experimental pop edge.

Concept Video: Has a few under her belt: "I" has Taeyeon unhappily working as a waitress. "Starlight" has guest singer Dean fall for a Manic Pixie Dream Girl played by Taeyeon. "Something New" has Taeyeon fighting off would-be assassins in a luxury hotel. "What Do I Call You" takes inspiration from Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind as it has Taeyeon and her boyfriend break up. She subsequently decides to erase all her memories of the relationship. "Can't Control Myself" stars Taeyeon as a star actress, trying to deal with her fading relationship with her co-star while still trying to put on a happy face. She finally succumbs to her feelings by the end, symbolized by the myriad of cuts on her body as she puts on a small smile. "INVU" has Taeyeon become Artemis, the Greek goddess of the moon and hunt. She wields a bow and arrow and even has a couple scenes where arrows are flying all around her.

Lighter and Softer: Why is far more lighthearted than most of her work before and after the album was released, featuring some of the most poppy songs in her discography. "Happy" is a lovely doo-wop song that talks about a love that the protagonist never wants to let go. After a string of more somber-leaning tracks, "Weekend" is a synth-pop/city pop song that talks about the singer's desire to go somewhere else. As a bonus, she raps (well, more like sing-talk) in the middle of it.
