Sensory Flows is the first Korean studio album by South Korean singer Yesung. The album was released on January 25, 2023, by SM Entertainment and Label SJ. The album features ten tracks in total. The album was then re-released as Floral Sense on February 27, 2023, with three additional tracks.

Background[edit]

Previously, Yesung had released four Korean mini-albums — Here I Am (2016), Spring Falling (2017), and Pink Magic (2019), and Beautiful Night (2021), but yet to release a full length album. He stated that he had been preparing for Sensory Flows, and Floral Sense for a long time.[2]

On January 2, 2023, it was reported that Yesung was preparing to release a new album. Label SJ later confirmed the report that Yesung would release a studio album by the end of the month.[3]

On January 9, it was announced that the album is scheduled to be released on January 25, at 6 PM KST.[4] On January 13, the highlight medley for the album was uploaded on Super Junior's YouTube channel.[5]

The music video for the lead single, "Small Things", was released alongside the album on January 25.[6]

A month later on February 27, the album was re-released as Floral Sense, including the titular track with the same name, featuring Winter of Aespa. Additionally, the album featured Yesung's solo version of the song, and a self-written track, "Mother". Yesung states that Sensory Flows expressed his sensibilities for the fans, while Floral Sense was the emphasis of his blooming sensibilities.[2]

Composition[edit]

Yesung experimented with various genres in Sensory Flows and its repackage. The lyrics of "Small Things" talk about simple emotions and stories that make everyday life worthwhile.[7]
