I can't believe it's been over a year and a half that I last posted about Jessica, I'm also shocked with myself that I haven't shared this album sooner. Without further ado let's check out Jessica's 2nd mini album WONDERLAND.

On the 30th of December 2016, a English digital version was released of the WONDERLAND mini album.

Jessica wrote and co-composed 4 out of the 6 tracks on her mini album, as well as being credited as one of the produces. She wrote and co-composed Dancing On The Moon, Celebrate, World Of Dreams and title track WONDERLAND, all 4 tracks are the English digital release of the album.

*YouTube views correct at the time of posting*
The M/V for WONDERLAND has so far gained 9,874,059 million views, with the views continuing to increase.

WONDERLAND is set out in a box slipcase with a hardback book style booklet. The first half of the album tells a story of Jessica's dream and journey to her dream land of white, the story is a continuation of her Fly M/V connecting With Love, J to WONDERLAND.
The second half of the album contains the photobook and lyrics, with the pictures taken at the same sets that the WONDERLAND M/V is shot.

Track List:
WONDERLAND
Dancing On The Moon
Celebrate
World Of Dreams

My jaw dropped when I first looked through this album, the artwork and colours used in the story are just gorgeous and I love how it connected her fly M/V to this comeback. I don't normally post the pictures from practically the whole album but, it's too gorgeous not to. I love each and every song on this album and it made me happier that she's no longer a part of Girls Generation as it shows she has more creative control over what she writes and puts into her albums, meaning she's putting more of herself and her feelings into these releases. I love that Jessica's photobooks always seem to focus on fashion (well she does have her own fashion business), the gorgeous scenery adds so much more to it. There is nothing bad that I can say about this album, from cover to cover it's aesthetically pleasing, from start to finish it has me singing along (yes I sing along, whether I'm pronouncing words right is another thing), it has me up dancing and personally for me it's my favourite album as a whole from Jessica. I love that she released an English version for the tracks she wrote, I think it shows she not only thinks about her Korean fans but also her international fans, strangely though I always listen to the Korean version, even if I have an English version on I confuse myself when I'm attempting to sing the Korean.
Like my last Jessica post I will be sharing the English versions of the tracks too as well as the Korean.
Check them out below.

The next time I'll be back with Jessica will be celebrating her 10 years since debut and hopefully we won't be waiting too long for Jessica to have another comeback and possibly a full length album.
