Song Ga-in, “‘Asadal’ is a song I rejected in the past... I listened to it again and it was so good”

Singer Song Ga-in confessed that she met ‘Asadal’ again after going around and around.

On the 11th, at the regular 4th album ‘Gain’s Dal‘ release commemorative showcase held at Sky Art Hall in Gangseo-gu, Seoul, Song Ga-in revealed that ’Asadal‘, one of the double title tracks, was a song she rejected in the past.

She said, “It’s a song that I didn‘t accept a year and a half ago because it didn’t resonate with me. They say it‘s not much different and it’s the same song, but when I listened to it again this time, it was so good. After listening to the song properly and practicing, I thought I should‘ve accepted it sooner. Why didn’t I know about such a good song back then? I chose it because I thought, ‘This is the song.’” She added, “I felt like the time that was wasted was a waste. Even now, I am honored to receive such a great song,” he said.

‘Asadal’ was inspired by the tragic tale of Asadal, the stone mason who built the Seokgatap at Bulguksa Temple in Gyeongju. Song Ga-in’s unique, cold Korean traditional music singing style leads the entire song, deeply capturing traditional emotions. The lyrical lyrics and sorrowful melody combine to create the essence of authentic trot.

Song Ga-in’s new album, ‘Gaindal’, which is being released after 2 years and 10 months, is Song Ga-in’s 4th regular album that contains Song Ga-in’s diverse musical colors, represented by authentic trot. The album contains 9 tracks, including the title tracks ‘Asadal’ and ‘I‘m Tears’, ‘A Lifetime’, which Song Ga-in personally participated in writing the lyrics for her fans, the classic trot ‘Farewell Song’, which features a sentimental melody, ‘Red Peony’, which sings of the sorrowful hearts of young men and women in love, ‘Why Me’, which expresses the lament of separation in the Latin funky genre, the slow rock ‘Saekdong Jeogori’, which contains the love of a mother in her childhood, ‘Father’s Tears’, a trot ballad depicting a father‘s love, and ‘Passing’, a country foxtrot song that sings of hope. Released at 6 p.m. on the 11th.
