Singer-songwriter Potatoi returned with an album full of bold experimentation and honesty.
Potatoi released his first full-length album Orange Courage at 12 p.m. on the 13th through various online music sites.
Orange Courage is the first full-length album released through the solo project Potatoi by Cha Sun-jong, the bassist of the band Wave to Earth; the title refers to orange as the color of youth and to courageous steps. If the previously released EP toy had the motto of being my own music played with like a toy, this album will serve as a musical calling card for the person Cha Sun-jong.
The album includes a total of 10 tracks, showcasing Potatoi's understanding of various genres and musical colors, including double title tracks 90s and Joe, as well as Ireokeman, Lion's Tear, Fairytale, Round and Round, Middle Man, 100p, She Wanna Blue, and See Ya.
Potatoi completed an album that best represents him with songs that capture moments from the late 20s to the end of his 20s: a song dedicated to a departed friend, a song born from everyday life after an overseas tour, a song born from a friend's tears, and a song performed at his own wedding as a congratulatory song.
At a recent solo concert held at Hyundai Card Understage, Potatoi performed many new songs and drew enthusiastic responses from fans. In particular, Round and Round, which Potatoi thought was the most maniacal among the album tracks, received the most explosive response from the audience that day, concluding the performance amid a passionate atmosphere.
Potatoi is the solo project of Cha Sun-jong, the bassist of global K-indie band Wave to Earth, whose Seoul solo concert sold out in one minute last month. Primarily presenting sensuous music based on the indie pop genre, Potatoi reveals his own musical color and identity through solo activities alongside band activities.
All tracks from Potatoi's first full-length album Orange Courage have been released on various online music sites.
