[BETTER KNOW]
Kim Seul Ong
release date: August 16, 2022
Not a singer-songwriter, not a drummer, but a rhythmer and band producer.
Kim Seul Ong is back as a solo artist in 6 years with the new single [BETTER KNOW]. Kim has gained a huge fan base after winning 1st place on <TOP Band 1 (KBS)> as a member of TOXIC. Recently he performed as a member of CNEMA, a band formed through <SuperBand 2 (JTBC)> where they ended in 2nd place.
‘BETTER KNOW’, written, composed, and produced by Kim Seul Ong himself, is a song that contains sincere hope to be free from the things that make us feel down. Kim’s unique voice and the rap feature by Louie (from Geeks) enhance the song’s perfection. The song is filled with funk-based sound and rhythmic melodies, and it focuses more on the raw sound of the instrument, by not using samples. Kim Seul Ong’s career as a drumer is shown on this song, and you’ll understand why he wants to be called a ‘rhythmer’, not a singer-songwriter.

A Night Of Yeonnam
Winter To Spring
release date: August 8, 2022
Listen to this music, from winter to spring!
Winter To Spring is a jazz trio that consists of Song Hagyun(piano), Kim HyunKyu(Bass), Kim hyunggyun(drum). Before officially forming a band, the three members served in a same military band and spent time together jamming and practicing everyday. They came up with the band name ‘Winter To Spring’ from the enlistment time, from winter to spring, summer, fall, winter, and spring again. Winter To Spring records the everyday life – it can be a particular time like ‘2AM’ or ‘11AM’, or places like ‘Haneul Park’ or ‘concrete jungle’, or instant feelings like ‘I Can’t Stop Doing This!’. The new single ‘A Night Of Yeonnam’ has recorded the memories with friends, made in Yeonnam-dong, Seoul.
All three members are highly experienced musicians who worked with various artists like Epik High, Sinawe, so soo bin, Mnyl, One More Chance, and no reply. If you considered jazz as a ‘difficult’ music, you must try Winter To Spring’s!
