Singer John Park recently released his very first solo album, and his fellow artists cannot stop raving about the tracks.
Title song “Falling” from John’s album ‘Knock‘ made an impressive debut, securing high ranks on the music charts after being released on February 22nd.
But the other four songs on the album including “Falling”, “Why Is It Like That”, “It’s Not Supposed To Be This Way” and “Good Day” are also receiving highly favorable remarks from fellow celebrities.
Musician Jung Jae Hyung recently wrote on his official Twitter page, “Headed home after ending rehearsals for SBS ‘YOU&I‘, and playing John Park’s ‘That Song’ on infinite repeat in the car. Sounds good!”
Girls’ Generation member Yoona also raved about “That Song”, saying she could “feel the emotional sensibility of Kim Dong Ryul through the song,” capturing the attention of fans.
Singer Lyn who is earning praise for her ‘Moon-Sun‘ soundtrack “Back In Time” also praised the rookie singer by writing on his Twitter page, “Hey Sung Kyu (John’s Korean name)~ I find joy in listening to your album these days. I saw your performance on Music Bank. Make sure you take care of yourself.”
And Girls’ Day member Minah recommended John Park’s new album to her fans saying, “John Park’s ‘It’s Not Supposed To Be This Way‘ is really stirring my heart, I can’t seem to fall asleep. Everyone should give it a listen.”
But this sort of response was almost expected. Veteran singer Kim Dong Ryul personally produced John’s first album, and the consensus seems to be that the album is of top-notch quality.
The sound of the album is different from the trends today, and the music seems to effortlessly move the hearts of listeners everywhere.
John Park singed with entertainment label Music Farm last April, the agency home to talented musicians such as Kim Dong Ryul, Lee Juk, Lee Sang Soon, Cho Won Sun, Jung Sun Yong,Cherry Filter, and more.
‘Knock’ is John’s first release in a year, and with it, he has made a graceful yet successful entrance onto the K-pop music scene.
His album has secured the #1 spot on the Hanteo charts selling 13,000 copies the first day of release, and his title song “Falling” was written by European band Mamas Gun‘s Andy Platts. John was active when it came to putting his album together, personally producing and penning the lyrics to “Falling”.
