Introducing Kuk Seungpyo
If you’re a fan of R&B, you’ll definitely want to familiarize yourself with indie artist Kuk Seungpyo. For a quick introduction, Seungpyo runs a reaction channel on YouTube that has recently passed 101k subscribers. Everyone is familiar with K-Pop reactors, but this is essentially the same concept, only Korean artists reacting to American releases. He also publishes vlogs on that channel along with his music.
You can find his three singles on Spotify, kicking off with “Remain” in 2018. It is immediately apparent that “Remain” is a perfect track for the recently arrived autumn, with a midline tempo and a groovy beat that switches up from a slower R&B beat to a groovy upbeat feeling in the chorus. Seungpyo’s voice lends itself very well to the genre, shining on its own above the melody and bringing a unique flavor to the whole track.
In 2019, the single “GOOD VIBES” was released, and this track includes a music video as well. If you’re into grown people music (you know what I’m talking about if you do), this track will definitely be a new favorite. It has all the staples of a sexy R&B release to a tee. The beat is deep and intense, contrasted nicely by his higher vocal register, making the song really pack a punch. What really makes “GOOD VIBES” stand out on top of this classic beat is the shift in musicality about 60% through the song, where the beat switches to a more contemporary pop beat just for that bridge before returning to its normal sound, which helps leave a lasting impression upon first listen.
The soloist’s final release came in January of this year in the form of single “Wait,” accompanied by a lyric video that includes English translations. “Wait” goes back to the more relaxing vibe we hear in “Remain.” The slow and steady beat is extremely catchy and it takes almost no time to get into the groove of the song and enjoy it to the fullest. The song is a somber love story, yet so charming and will likely find itself in your heavy rotations in no time.
