'Korean wave balladeer' Hwang Chi-yeul has returned as a warm, comforting star to brightly light dark, weary nights.
Hwang Chi-yeul released the audio and music video for his new digital single "I will be a star" at 6 p.m. on the 28th through various online music sites.
Returning with a new song about 1 year and 2 months after his third full-length album "ALL OF ME," released last February and much loved, Hwang Chi-yeul once again demonstrated his solid prowess as the irreplaceable "Korean wave balladeer," flaunting an even deeper, richer emotional voice.
Hwang Chi-yeul's new song "I will be a star" is a piece that, like a poem, paints a desperate hope to be able to shine on one's own even in deep darkness. Even in moments of endless loneliness and exhaustion, it conveys a message of hope and consolation that he will become a presence that silently lights others like the stars in the night sky, captured fully by Hwang Chi-yeul's distinctive excellent singing ability and soulful voice.
The song's dynamic development also delivers dramatic emotion. The intro begins gently with simple guitar accompaniment and a lyrical harmonica melody, but as it moves to the latter part, piano and strings and a heavy drum sound layer upon one another, explosively expanding the swelling emotional line. The grand yet warm arrangement perfectly harmonizes to maximize the song's sentiment, leaving listeners with a rich, deep aftertaste.
"It's okay woo- woo- / When the night passes / Tomorrow will come again / I'll try to become a star / I always shone / I will shine on the dark days of the past /"
The video released with the audio captures Hwang Chi-yeul passionately singing "I will be a star," drawing attention. His sweet yet powerful vocals, emitted while fully immersed in the song, instantly captivate listeners' eyes and ears.
Hwang Chi-yeul, a premium vocalist who earns the public's steadfast trust by perfectly digesting any genre from ballad to dance in his own color. The new song "I will be a star," filled with hopeful messages in his soulful vocals, is expected to gently soothe the public's hearts.
