Black is the sixth studio album by South Korean singer-songwriter Lee Hyori. It was released on July 4, 2017, by Kiwi Media Group and distributed by LOEN Entertainment. It is her first full-length after a four-year hiatus since Monochrome (2013). It comes after the expiration of her contract with B2M Entertainment[1] and signing with Kim Hyung Suk's Kiwi Media Group.[2]

This album continues the progress started with Monochrome with Lee veering from her early pop sound for more mature, experimental sound. Lee contributed self-composed songs while fully producing the album for the first time. Hyori worked alongside "10 Minutes" producer Kim Do Hyun[3] while writing eight and composing nine of the ten album tracks.[4] This album Lee decided to focus more on storytelling and revealing a more personal side without compromising her sexy image.[4] it contains a total of ten tracks, including the pre-release "Seoul" and lead single title track.
