[Indigo], RM of BTS’s solo album – selected as the no.1 K-pop album by Billboard staff, has a strong title track featuring ‘youjeen’. RM said he could not imagine a vocalist other than her – She is the irreplaceable female vocalist of all time from the K-Rock Scene. 


Her band cherryfilter made headlines last year by participating in the Pentaport Rock Festival, Korea’s leading rock festival. They showed off their influence by making all the fans sing along during the 40-minute performance.


Since then, they have released a remixed&remastered album from their fifth album [Rocksteric]. The album is full of high-quality songs as a work that encompasses the analog and digital generations. The new song ‘MIA’ is their signature straight rock number.

[Dear My All]

Mingginyu

December 28, 2022

We waited for a year and a half! After uploading the song on her own YouTube channel, there were so many requests for the official release. Many playlist and videos were generated with the unofficial version, and many indie artists have uploaded their cover on SoundCloud. Swamped with the request for the official release, Mingginyu has finally done it! After the release, ‘Dear My All’ is making a big splash, topping the MelOn chart and reaching 100K streams on Spotify in just one week! 

The lyrics and the warm, resonant voice comforts the ones who are lonely, depressed, or hurt.

[Always]

YUHA

December 20, 2022

A new single by singer-songwriter YUHA, who is drawing attention for her voice and lyrics that can be sympathized with ordinary people, has been released. YUHA is an artist with a brilliant career, including Best Folk Album and Song nomination at the Korean Music Awards 2019.

The single ‘Always’ has lyrics inspired by her three nieces like “I’m not out of breath even when I meet you and walk, run with you.” (This is a little surprising, but it makes sense right away. Imagine three young nieces running as fast as they can.)
This is a song that was unfortunately not included in her second full-length album “Nap”, it will be a special gift for her fans.

[Virtuality]

Blossom Club

November 10, 2022

The synthpop representatives of two countries have met! OOHYO, the most loved indie singer-songwriter in Korea, participated in the 2nd track ‘Douce Cassette’ of French synthpop duo Blossom Club’s debut EP [Virtuality].

Actually, OOHYO and Blossom Club have never met, but their musical paths have crossed virtually. The artists call ‘Douce Cassette’ a ‘French-Korean childhood nostalgia ballad’. On top of a dreamy analog synth sound, the two beautiful voices recall the happy memories and dreams of their childhood, in their own languages.

Listen to the song that reminds you of where you came from and who you really are, and where you’re headed.
