NEW MUSIC: SHAUN | SO RIGHT (FT. YUNA)

South Korean producer and singer-songwriter SHAUN, whose real name is Kim Yun-ho, has enlisted Malaysian singer Yuna on his latest single, "So Right." The track’s electronica beat is accompanied by a jazzy guitar riff also played by SHAUN himself, as Yuna drives the song’s narrative forward with her vocals. The collaboration was spearheaded by SHAUN’s management company Unbound Entertainment Group, home to fellow Korean American star Sam Kim. According to a press statement, the brand chose to focus on the “Asian American narrative” for the single as part of their drive to promote multiculturalism in the music industry. SHAUN first debuted in 2009 as a member of South Korean indie rock band The Koxx and has since worked with EXO, SHINee, and f(x) as a producer. In 2018, his single "Way Back Home" became a viral hit, sending him to the top of the Gaon Digital Chart. More recently, in May 2021, he released the single album, "SHAUN #0055b7," featuring the tracks "Closed Ending" and "BLUE," a collaboration with rapper Wonstein. Earlier this month, Yuna announced that her upcoming fifth studio album is being split into five parts, with the first part, "Y1 Hello," coming as soon as March. Details on the album, including the tracklist and collaborators, if any, have yet to be released. Yuna’s last solo releases are "Don’t Blame It On Love," featuring American R&B singer Pink Sweat$ released in June 2021 and "Dance Like Nobody’s Watching" in December 2020.
