Singer Kassy will be releasing a new single, ‘I Won‘t Melt’, on the 8th. It is her first winter ballad in 9 years since her debut.

Kassy has been in the spotlight with hit songs about breakups, such as ‘Those Were the Good Times’, ‘You Left on an Autumn Night’, and ‘A Song with Sincerity’. In particular, she has proven the appeal of ‘Kassy’s Breakup Song’ with a dark mood that fits the fall season and Kassy‘s delicate voice.

In particular, composer Jo Young-soo’s signature medium tempo and lyrics based on Kassy‘s own experiences have stimulated listeners’ empathy and have been responsible for the playlists of those who are sad about a breakup or want to be comforted by longing.

Through songs like ‘I‘ll Write a Poem for You’, ‘To be honest, that’s what I‘m saying’, ‘Let’s Meet Again, Considering We‘re Fooled’, Casey maintained her signature wistfulness while also presenting variations of the genre with a more emotional and lyrical mood, expanding her musical spectrum.

Casey broke the stereotype that her voice is optimized for lonely and sad songs, and sang about the beginning and excitement of love with lyrical lyrics and a warm sound. ‘I’ll Light Up Your Footsteps’, ‘It‘s Too Sad to Break Up Late at Night’, which were released in the spring, were loved as Casey’s representative serenades.

Casey has been building empathy with numerous listeners by singing about the duality of love and separation with a voice that contains various emotions. The reason why Casey, who never stops trying new things in songs that are ‘Casey is the genre’, is gathering even hotter attention for the winter ballad ‘I Won‘t Melt’, which is being presented for the first time in 9 years since her debut.

‘I Won’t Melt’, which will be released on the 8th, is a song for everyone waiting for the white winter, and was created through the ‘trust and listen’ combination of Jo Young-soo and Casey. The dreamy sound and beautiful lyrics resembling a winter carol will bring back happy winter memories with your loved one.
