Aanvankelijk was ik wat terughoudend toen Kim Sung Kyu’s nieuwste mini-album de aandacht trok. Het is verleidelijk om albums te vergelijken, vooral in het hedendaagse poplandschap vol geluidsmodificaties en zware producties. Maar na een paar keer luisteren bleek dit werk meer diepgang te hebben dan alleen maar aanstekelijke melodieën voor een zonnige dag.
De nummerstructuren zijn zo verfrissend als ze intrigeren; verschillende invloeden flirten door elkaar terwijl onze favoriete zomerse klanken ons hypnotiseren met vrolijke riffs en zelfreflectieve teksten. Hij vangt dat magische gevoel van seizoensverandering echt – het album waakt over persoonlijke groei, schommelingen van liefde, erodende grenzen tussen euforie en melancholie tijdens een mozaïek vol tinten temperatuur waar mijn gedachten mee beginnen op reis naar onbekende plaatsen… En wauw! Uiteindelijk durf ik uit te drukken: dit klopt helemaal.
Lourdes Aquilino from Salvador, Brazil –
Diving into the sultry waves of summer, Kim Sungkyu’s album crystallizes youth’s unbridled essence. Tracks like ‘Sunny Horizon’ amplify laughter under sun-drenched skies.
Luz Valentina Ríos from Medellín, Colombia –
Heyyy, if you’re looking for the ultimate summer vibes this year, you’ve gotta check out Kim Sungkyu’s new mini-album! The tunes totally transport me to a sun-soaked beach in my hometown—like I can almost feel the waves crashing while jamming. Seriously, his voice is like warm honey; it wraps around you. Plus, every song has that fresh pop twist but feels personal and raw? He nailed it! Perfect soundtrack for lazy afternoons or when you’re vibing with friends under fairy lights at night!
