Artist Cracker sings about the most ordinary day.
Cracker will release the new single "1000/60" at 6 p.m. on the 20th through various online music sites.
"1000/60" is a number that represents the realistic figures of "a 10 million won deposit, 600,000 won monthly rent," and it is a song that depicts the average housing environment of Korea's young generation. Everyday words such as narrow rooms, piling laundry, a small pot, and the cold wind seeping through the door gap delicately portray a landscape of reality that anyone can empathize with.
Composed as a double title, this single will draw listeners' empathy by presenting the same song with different vocals and interpretations.
The first track, "1000/60 (feat. Kim Gyeol)," expresses an attitude of creating meaning amid lack in a warm tone and delicately portrays the inner self that cultivates love in reality. By contrast, the second track, "1000/60 (feat. 615)," views the same space with a more cold and realistic perspective. The sensations of getting through a day and the weight of reality come to the forefront, and the restrained vocals calmly convey the anxiety and resignation within relationships.
In particular, Cracker directly participated in the overall production, leading the song's direction and sound to enhance its completeness. Featuring artists Kim Gyeol and 615 contributed their strengths. Kim Gyeol warmly conveyed everyday emotions with delicate emotional expression and a soft timbre, and 615 calmly captured realistic feelings with restrained vocals and understated expression.
Cracker has steadily built a unique narrative by rendering everyday subjects in delicate language. This single, "1000/60," while not flashy, highlights sufficiently meaningful relationships and days, quietly delivering records of love and reality that began in the smallest spaces.
Cracker has received steady love through seasonal songs such as "Fly to me," "My Ddudu," and "Maemmaem." "Fly to me" reached No. 12 on Spotify's K-INDIE NOW chart, "My Ddudu" placed No. 13 on Indonesia's R&B/Soul chart, and "Maemmaem" reached No. 19 on iTunes U.K. K-Pop chart, marking meaningful achievements. Expectations are growing for what musical world Cracker will unfold through this single.
Meanwhile, Cracker's new single "1000/60" will be available to listen to on various online music sites starting at 6 p.m. on the 20th.
