Singer-songwriter RUNG HYANG has announced that she will release her new EP Legassic on May 20.
The title "Legassic" is a coined term combining "Legacy" and "Classic," conveying the idea of cherishing not only the future but also all the past influences that have shaped her. This concept is also reflected in the sound: while rooted in R&B and soul, the EP is composed with an expansive, cinematic approach.
The project includes tracks such as "Seeds of life" and "Lull you," which were inspired by artwork from painter Lee Izumida and created under a collaborative initiative by Takashimaya and SALON adam et rope'. The initiative aims to realize a society where everyone-including people with visual impairments-can enjoy fashion.
In addition, the six-track EP features the funky, groove-driven title song "Legassic," as well as "memento," a piece dedicated to her grandfather who passed away earlier this year. Altogether, the work presents a new form of expression within a soundscape that balances delicacy and depth.
Born in Chikuho, Fukuoka Prefecture, this third-generation Korean resident in Japan gained popularity on YouTube with the graduation song <Sakurabiyori> and made her major debut in 2012, appearing on numerous information and music programs. In addition to her own activities, she has also produced many artists, including eill, Eito, YAMORI, and Chinatsu Matsumoto, and her <RUNG HYANG Seminar> which has garnered attention across various fields, has even been featured on TV. She has released a succession of collaborative tracks with important figures in the music scene, such as SIRUP, Inshist, Taiichi Mukai, and Claquepot. Known for her realistic lyrics that feel like glimpsing into someone s life, she continues to evolve as a <soul> writer with a <mixed plate> style that incorporates various genres including jazz, hip hop, soul, and folk. Since 2022, she has also been appointed as a special professor in the Singer-Songwriting course at Osaka College of Music.
