John OFA Rhee Released New EP [sunset blvd.]

On 26th May, singer-songwriter and producer John OFA Rhee’s released his brand new EP, [sunset blvd.]. The EP is part of his first full-length album project, [bleeding in sunset blvd.]. The album is expected to be released in July in its entirety.

The EP [sunset blvd] is consisted of a total of 4 songs – “NO THING“,” FRIDAY NIGHTS (w/ bottle gods)“, “STAY” and “CRAZY (Studio Live Ver.)”

The title track “NO THING” is a confession of love and showcases a well blended mixture of hip-hop and bossa nova, with catchy melodies that echo throughout. “FRIDAY NIGHTS (w/ bottle gods)” describes one’s exhaustions towards long weekend nights, supported by a catchy string-arrangement like guitar melodies. “STAY” paints a picture of two so-called lovers caught in a conflict where one always tries to catch the other, backed up by a consistent drum groove supported by the bass and electric guitars. “CRAZY (Studio Live Ver.)” a song initially released back in 2018 is reborn with a new live arrangement.

“NO THING” will be the first music video to be presented for the EP. To compliment the cheery nature of the song, animator “@_and1and_” depict the story with his/her lovely goblin-like character as the protagonist, along side hidden cameo’s featured throughout the video.

Following his first EP [bleeding in] released back in April, John OFA Rhee continue to unravel his story accompanied by a wide variety of emotional expressions through various musical genres. These 2 EPs capture an obvious point of contrast, naturally feeding the curiosity of the full album to grow further.
