Korean singer-songwriter george is preparing to open a new
chapter in his musical journey with the upcoming release of his EP ‘solsol~
condo’, arriving on August 20. Ahead of the full project, the artist
has unveiled its pre-release single “if i'm with you (feat. MINNIE)”, a
heartfelt collaboration with MINNIE of i-dle that introduces the emotional
landscape of the record.
Rather than focusing on destinations or grand experiences,
george’s latest project centers on a simpler idea: the places we remember most
are defined by the people beside us. “if i'm with you” captures that sentiment
through a delicate blend of george’s understated R&B style and MINNIE’s
warm, expressive vocals, creating a comforting introduction to the stories that
unfold throughout ‘solsol~ condo’.
The upcoming five-track EP is designed as a musical escape
into slow, meaningful moments. Built around relaxed rhythms, subtle melodies,
and george’s signature minimalist approach, the record feels like a peaceful
summer afternoon spent in good company. Every song highlights the beauty of
ordinary experiences, from shared moments that make worries disappear to
memories shaped by friendship, travel, and reunion.
Leading the project is the focus track “bgf,” a
gentle reflection that carries the EP’s laid-back atmosphere. Other tracks
expand the world of ‘solsol~ condo’ through different emotional snapshots. “hanaumabay”
featuring Chawool paints a dreamy picture of Hawaii’s coastline, evoking
images of clear waters, coral reefs, and unhurried days under the sun. “thathat”
featuring JINBO the SuperFreak continues the feeling of carefree enjoyment,
while “bakehouse” featuring moyo closes the EP with a nostalgic
celebration of reconnecting with familiar faces.
Across its five songs, ‘solsol~ condo’ avoids unnecessary
complexity, allowing george’s storytelling and emotional honesty to remain at
the forefront. Each track serves as a reminder that happiness is often found in
the smallest moments: a conversation with someone special, a shared memory, or
simply being present with the people who matter.
At its core, the EP embodies the feeling of spending a quiet
day in a breezy condo with someone you love. It is an invitation to slow down,
appreciate the present, and recognize the value of meaningful connections.
Since his debut in 2016, george has become recognized as one
of Korea’s most distinctive voices in contemporary R&B. His music is
defined by intimate songwriting, warm lo-fi textures, and restrained production
that allows emotions to shine through naturally. Instead of relying on dramatic
arrangements, george creates songs that feel personal and familiar, building a
connection with listeners through honesty and subtle expression.
Throughout his career, george has worked alongside some of
Korea’s most respected artists, including Loco, Heize, BIG Naughty, SUMIN, pH-1,
Sam Kim, Yoon Jong Shin, and Kwon Jin Ah. His breakout songs, including “Boat”
and “look at me,” helped introduce his sound to a wider audience, while
his debut EP ‘cassette’ earned recognition through a Korean Music Awards
nomination. His first full-length album, ‘FRR’ (2023), further
established him as an artist with a unique and compelling creative identity.
With ‘solsol~ condo,’ george continues to refine his
approach to storytelling by transforming everyday experiences into intimate
musical moments. The EP reflects his ability to find beauty in simplicity,
offering listeners a soundtrack for slowing down, reconnecting, and
appreciating the people who turn ordinary days into lasting memories.
‘solsol~ condo’ arrives August 20.
