Kassy is set to release her sixth EP today, marking a significant return with "Full Bloom".
This latest work comes after a hiatus since her EP "Cold Day" in November 2022, translating to a 1-year and 4-month gap. "Full Bloom" encapsulates stories that resonate with many listeners, covering the spectrum of love's journey from its inception to breakups, and the yearning for reunification with a past lover. These narratives are presented in a manner that balances poignant emotions with an uplifting ambiance.
The EP's lead track, "Love Fool" stands out as a medium tempo ballad that skillfully blends folk and reggae influences. Composer Cho Young-soo has contributed to crafting this piece, ensuring it complements Kassy's vocal and emotional expression perfectly. Kassy herself participated in the lyric writing, beautifully conveying the desires of reuniting with a former lover and the hope that couples experiencing a rut can persevere in their love.
Beyond the title track, Kassy engaged in the lyric writing for all songs on the EP, including "Let's Start Spring," "My Reason," and "Law of Parting," among others. These tracks cover the entire arc of a love story, ranging from ballads to R&B and soul, showcasing her ability to create lyrics that match the beautiful and lyrical mood of various genres.
The music video teaser for "Love Fool" has already garnered considerable attention. It employs a dramatized format shot in vertical camera mode, a unique approach that deeply resonates with the audience. The music video strikingly contrasts the present and past of a couple through color, spatial perception, and camera movement. It also pays homage to iconic scenes from films, enhancing the emotional visual aesthetic.
