Re-Make (JAPAN Edition)

The Japanese edition by the notable Korean singer-songwriter JOO HYELYN, featuring re-recordings of her past songs with a band setup along with the original versions, is released on LP. Since her debut in 2021, she has continued to gain recognition, with "Crazy" from the EP "COOL" nominated for the Korean Music Awards. In 2026, "Busy Boy" and "STEREO" were also nominated in two categories at the same awards, further increasing attention on her. Side A contains dynamic band performances from the re-recordings, while Side B contains the original tracks. Bold reinterpretations stand out, including the acid-jazz groove of "Busy Boy," the soul x reggae style of "Sorry," and the samba arrangement of "Crazy." This is a highly accomplished work that lets listeners enjoy at the same time songs created by live energy and meticulous tracks.
