[K-R&B] Korean R&B Masterpiece Collection (61–70)
FRRgeorge
George is a singer who enjoys immense popularity in South Korea’s R&B scene.
While K-pop often grabs the spotlight when it comes to Korean music, in recent years artists who excel in Black music genres like neo-soul and R&B—such as CHUDAHYE CHAGIS—have also been gaining attention.
George’s new track, FRR, is an ennui-tinged song infused with R&B elements, crafted with a musical sensibility similar to that of Fujii Kaze in Japan.
Beyond Love (Feat.10CM)BIG Naughty
Big Naughty, who broke through after appearing on an audition show, collaborated with singer-songwriter 10CM on “Beyond Love (Feat.
10CM).” At first glance, it’s a bright, feel-good pop song.
However, its lyrics depict feelings for a loved one who has left.
Rather than grieving or resenting the other person, the song expresses a resolve to face forward and live life to the fullest.
Our ThingChoyoung
If you’re looking for R&B with a slightly unusual vibe, “Our Thing” is perfect.
It’s a track released by Choyeon, also known as a member of moderniq.
She’s a top-tier jazz singer as well, and this song blends the atmospheres of R&B and jazz.
First worth noting is the quiet melody of the piano solo.
Layering rap with a jazz-infused flow over it, she constructs a unique sonic world.
Right Now (Feat. Crush)Coogie
Kugi, known as a rapper and singer, launched his career in 2018 and quickly made waves, even winning music awards.
His track “Right Now” is a perfect fit for relaxed moments.
Featuring singer Crush, it’s crafted as a love song that evokes a tropical vibe.
The humming and flow are particularly distinctive, so try focusing on those elements when you listen.
헤픈 우연 (HAPPEN)Heize
For those who love sweet love songs, I recommend listening to “헤픈 우연 (HAPPEN).” It’s the title track from singer-songwriter Heize’s 2021 album, depicting a fateful encounter and a passionate romance.
She originally studied classical music, and you can sense those elements in this work.
Another noteworthy point is how the understated track highlights her crystal-clear voice.
