Korean R&B powerhouse, SAAY, has just dropped her latest single, 'DOMINO', and it's a captivating exploration of ambition's double-edged sword. The all-English track, released today, is a testament to SAAY's ability to transcend cultural boundaries and solidify her position in both Korean and international music scenes.
'DOMINO' is a deeply personal offering, co-written and co-composed by SAAY herself. It delves into the intricate emotions that come with striving for success - the thrilling anticipation and the paralyzing fear of failure. As SAAY eloquently puts it, "I wanted to express our feelings of insecurity and imperfectness. I had to do it for me and for us."
SAAY's journey is one of evolution and reinvention. She started as the leader of the K-pop girl group EvoL but has since blossomed into a multifaceted solo artist. "Not Just K-pop: The New Wave of Korean Music" by Hypebae highlights SAAY's role in breaking stereotypes and expanding the genre's global appeal.
The accompanying music video is a visual feast, featuring collaborations with renowned dance crews WE DEM BOYZ and IBAN, all stars of the hit Korean dance competition series Street Man Fighter and Street Woman Fighter.
Described by Hypebae and Vogue as an artist you need to know, SAAY's unique blend of R&B, hip-hop, and soul, along with her powerful vocals, sets her apart. Her musical talents extend beyond performing, as she's also a sought-after composer, lyricist, and producer for major K-pop acts like TWICE, Aespa, and EXO's Baekhyun.
With 'DOMINO', SAAY continues to push boundaries and captivate audiences with her raw talent and authenticity. Keep an eye on this rising star; she's just getting started.
