Kim Bum Soo’s ‘I Loved You’ Single Revives Lost Passion
A 20-year Revival of a Lost Musical Gem
A Musical Time Capsule Reopened
In a remarkable turn of events, Kim Bum Soo, a beloved South Korean singer, is set to release a long-lost single titled I Loved You. Originally recorded in 2005, this single faced an unforeseen delay due to a critical hard disk error. However, thanks to the dedication and expertise of producer Min Hyuk Choi, the song will finally see the light of day on October 21, 2023.
The Story Behind the Song
I Loved You is a remake of a classic ballad that was initially popularized by the late Kim Kwang Seok in 1991. Despite Kim Bum Soo’s successful recording attempt in his 20s, the master tape experienced considerable damage, leading to an indefinite postponement.
In a fortunate twist, producer Min Hyuk Choi discovered the original session files while organizing archives earlier this year. Restoration and re-arrangement efforts were launched immediately to capture the song’s authentic aura while injecting contemporary flair.
A Collaborative Effort
The revamped version of I Loved You was orchestrated by talented arrangers including Bark, Jung Kyu Chang, Dr. Ba$$, and Kim Hyung Joo. Their concerted efforts managed to retain the emotional depth of the original while offering a fresh interpretation that resonates with today’s audience.
Moreover, this track will feature prominently in the KBS weekend drama, Ask the Eagle Brothers, heightening the show’s emotional narrative and enriching its storytelling.
A Significant Comeback
This innovative collaboration marks the inaugural project from the 7th E&M creative platform, spearheaded by executive producer Min Hyuk Choi. Kim Bum Soo commented on the surreal experience of hearing his young voice, remarking, ‘Revisiting my 20s in such vivid audio is strange yet fascinating.’
A testimony to the timeless nature of great music, Kim Bum Soo’s I Loved You promises to captivate listeners with its poignant lyrics and emotive delivery. Don’t miss the opportunity to experience this reborn classic, available from October 21, 2023.
