Lee Seung-yeol releases new song ‘Life was easy’

Musician Lee Seung-yeol will release his new song ‘Life was easy’ today(the 7th)at 6 PM.

‘Life Worth Easy’ is a new song released six months after ‘you are’ in December of last year, and is a song where you can meet Lee Seung-yeol’s unique contemplative and dense emotions once again.It is characterized by being completed while maintaining the sound consistency of his previous work.It starts with only two sounds, piano and vocals, and the cello and the most restrained beats are added to deliver a more intense emotion as it goes on.

‘Life Worth Easy’ progresses as if three people are having a conversation, with Lee Seung-yeol’s voice and piano playing intersecting and the cello alternating between the two.In the running time of nearly six minutes, Lee Seung-yeol calmly and lyrically captures the scenery where memories of the past freely flying in the sky overlap with the present expressed as a black sky.

Lee Seung-yeol said in the liner notes, “For the past seven years, my daily spell, prayer, and mantra has been, ‘See you under the sun tomorrow,’ and I’d like to add one more: ‘Somewhere over the rainbow.’ I’d like to thank the two great musicians who played the piano and cello.The light passing through the two prisms created a rainbow.”

‘Life Worth Easy’ was written, composed, MIDI programmed and produced by Seung-yeol Lee, with Ji Park on cello and Ju-yeon Lim on piano.The album’s artwork was completed with ‘Atlantic Avenue I’, a work by photographer Woo-young Kim that captures traces of time.Woo-young Kim’s photographs capture an obsession with tenacious vitality and a premonition of death in a single frame.

Meanwhile, Lee Seung-yeol debuted in 1994 with the band U & Me Blue and has been active as a solo artist since 2003.He has released a total of six full-length albums and has experimented with sounds ahead of their time and genres such as modern rock, blues, and electronica.Recently, he has been showing off another spectrum with minimal sounds and poetic lyrics that are impossible to measure in depth.

Lee Seung-yeol plans to release an EP with a sound concept such as ‘Life Worth Easy’ and ‘you are’, which are composed of piano and cello, in the second half of this year.
