Kassy Releases New Ballad 'Too Sad Between Us Friends' with Hitmaker Cho Young-soo

Singer Kassy is set to release a new emotional ballad, capturing the raw confessions of a complex relationship, in collaboration with renowned hitmaker Cho Young-soo.

The new track, titled 'Too Sad Between Us Friends,' will be available on all major online music platforms starting today, the 15th, at 6 PM KST.

Kassy and Cho Young-soo, who have a long history of musical synergy, have joined forces once again for the 'Nextstar Project.' Their latest collaboration delves into the delicate emotions of a heart afraid to name love but unable to conceal it any longer.

Cho Young-soo took charge of composing, arranging, and writing the lyrics, with Kassy co-penning the lyrics to enhance the song's depth. Built upon a warm acoustic soundscape, the track delicately layers piano and strings, allowing Kassy's signature clear and powerful vocals to amplify the emotional narrative. The soaring vocal layers and ad-libs in the latter half poetically capture the explosive moment of confession.

The lyrics express the bittersweet feelings of being 'more than friends, less than lovers,' a sentiment many have experienced: 'Since when did I start loving you / This unbearable heart can no longer be hidden / Even if we can't go back to how we were / I will confess to you, that I love you.' Kassy's voice brings these heartfelt sentiments to life, resonating with listeners through realistic empathy within the simple expressions.

Cho Young-soo is celebrated for crafting timeless hits for artists like SG Wannabe, Davichi, and SeeYa, establishing his signature emotional style through intricate melodies. Kassy has captivated listeners with numerous hits such as 'Back Then Was Better' and 'True Song,' consistently pursuing an authentic musical journey.

This new song, combining Cho Young-soo's precise emotional structure with Kassy's nuanced vocals, unfolds like a sincere confession. Produced with Nextstar Entertainment's signature refined sound and tasteful arrangement, it is expected to softly fill listeners' playlists this autumn.

Kassy's new song 'Too Sad Between Us Friends' from the Nextstar Project is available from 6 PM KST today, the 15th.

Netizens are expressing excitement, with comments like 'The combination of Kassy's vocals and Cho Young-soo's songwriting is already making me anticipate it,' and 'Is it a story about a friend turning into a lover? The lyrics seem so sad,' and 'A perfect autumn ballad has arrived!'
