Cocktail ParadiseYun Seokcheol, Sejin
Cocktail Paradise is a pop number I highly recommend for this summer.
It’s a collaboration between jazz pianist Yoon Seok Cheol, who’s active across a wide range of genres, and Park Sejin from the female acoustic duo Rooftop Moonlight.
The rhythm evokes the open, resort-like mood, and the soft, pleasant melody will have your body moving before you know it! There’s a subtle addictive quality, too, but the tones they create and the vocals offer a warm, soothing touch.

Summer nights are wonderful, aren’t they? The heat eases, and it’s a time when the heart feels calm.
“Summer Night” by the indie singer Herz Analog is a song with that gentle charm.

Your SummerKIM A REUM
The moment you hear the birdsong and the sound of waves, along with a sweet-toned guitar and a slap-driven bassline, you’re already in a car cruising along a midsummer seaside! Kim Ah-reum, who sings this track “Your Summer,” is a South Korean female singer who debuted in 2013, and as of 2023 has released four original albums—an artist with a solid, mid-career résumé.
Her slightly lisping, cute vocals combined with a sound directly descended from 1980s Showa city pop create a perfect synergy, making this a track that fans of the style will absolutely adore.
The romantic saxophone tone adds a wonderful flavor, too!
