R&B soul's leading artist Bumkey remakes a song by the late Wheesung, continuing the genre's lineage.
Bumkey will release a remake recording at 6 p.m. on the 30th, reinterpreting Wheesung's second album [It's Real] track "I'm Missing You" in his own style. The project was carried out with the formal consent of the bereaved family and expresses respect and tender feelings for Wheesung.
The two artists previously formed a musical connection through the duet "How Much Is Love," and through this remake Bumkey focused on adding his own color without harming the original's sentiment. Bumkey's unique interpretation, combining deep emotion and delicate vocals, is expected to deliver a different kind of moving experience from the original.
This remake maintains the essence of the R&B soul genre while capturing contemporary sensibilities, and it is even more meaningful in that Bumkey carries on the musical thread originating from Wheesung.
Brand New Music said, "Through this remake, Bumkey wanted to express deep respect for Wheesung's music," and added, "He created a highly polished result with a sense of responsibility toward the R&B soul genre."
Meanwhile, Bumkey's new song "I'm Missing You" is scheduled to be released at 6 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 30, on various online music sites.
