Album DescriptionAvailable in:
Modern Times is the third Korean studio album by South Korean recording artist IU. It was released on October 8, 2013 by LOEN Entertainment under its imprint LOEN Tree. Under the theme of "French Black", the album departs from the singer's established image as "the nation's sweetheart", by attempting various styles of music including swing, jazz, and bossa nova. It is her first full-length release since Last Fantasy (2011).
For her brand-new record, IU collaborated with singer-songwriters Choi Baek-ho and Yang Hee-eun. Gain from Brown Eyed Girls, Jonghyun from SHINee, and jazz guitarist Bak Ju-won also participated on the album as featured artists.
Modern Times contains thirteen tracks in total, including the number-one hit "The Red Shoes" and the singer's self-composed song "Bad Day". It also features the Korean version of "Voice Mail" from her Japanese extended play Can You Hear Me? (2013) as a bonus track.
