[Dispatch=Reporter Kim Ji-ho] Singer Lee Seung-chul and Uz are drawing attention with a special collaboration. They will present a tribute song commemorating Lee Seung-chul's 40th debut anniversary.
Since his debut in 1986, Lee Seung-chul has led Korean popular music history for 40 years. He has also earned the epithet "live emperor" for his signature voice and explosive vocal prowess.
Junior artists are participating in a tribute duet project album to mark his 40th debut anniversary. The advance released tribute song is "Our Story," which will be released on the 30th at 6 p.m. through major online music platforms.
"Our Story" is a song that Uz participated in writing and composing as a gift to Lee Seung-chul. Uz captured deep respect sent to senior artist Lee Seung-chul, who has been making music for the long span of 40 years.
At the same time, Uz also depicted the 40th anniversary he would one day face. The narrative of two artists standing on different timelines was brought to life as a single song.
The genre of "Our Story" is alternative rock. It begins with gentle and delicate guitar sound and a piano intro. Instruments are layered in sequence to heighten emotion, with a dramatic narrative arc that stands out.
In the latter half of the song, a rich string sound unfolds. Over it, the explosive yet warm vocals of Lee Seung-chul and Uz blend together, showcasing perfect harmony.
An official from the album said, "This song carries the meaning of 'the beginning of a new journey' in which Lee Seung-chul's music is continuously reinterpreted and continued through the voice of another generation."
The official added, "Junior artists who participated in this tribute album have grown up listening to Lee Seung-chul's voice and nurtured their dreams," and expressed expectations that it "will become an exemplary case showing deep musical exchange and respect between seniors and juniors in the music industry."
A music video will also be released alongside the track. It was prepared with cinematic direction reminiscent of a film. In the darkness of night, you can see Lee Seung-chul and Uz each riding in a classic car and convertible with emotional driving.
In the latter part of the video, the two people finally meet in one place and create harmony together. The passionate vocal performances of the two creating deep connection as one through music will be shown.
