K-Indie Singer Kwon Jin Ah Drops New Modern Rock Song 'Rain On Me'

Singer Kwon Jin-ah will release the pre-release song "Rain on Me" from her third mini-album 'SAVE ME' at 6 PM on the 23rd. The song features the modern rock sensibility and band sound of the early 2000s, with Kwon Jin-ah's own guitar playing and calm vocals harmonizing to heighten the sad emotions.

One day before the new song's release, on the 22nd, Kwon Jin-ah released a documentary chronicling her daily life and music production process. In the documentary, she revealed, "The opening lyric, 'I leave this love at your feet and begin,' was written five years ago," and stated that the song flowed easily once she shifted from a piano ballad to a modern rock direction. She also explained that while the song began about unrequited love, during the production process, she felt the narrator was experiencing emotions like being caught in a sudden downpour, leading to the title and lyrics of "Rain on Me."

This song marks Kwon Jin-ah's first full-fledged foray into the rock genre since her debut, signaling a dramatic transformation from 'Ballad Queen' to 'Rockstar.' Kwon Jin-ah had previously garnered positive reactions from audiences by performing "Rain on Me" live at her concert in April and at the Seoul Park Music Festival in June.

Kwon Jin-ah's third mini-album 'SAVE ME' is scheduled for release on the 15th of next month. The album will include a total of five songs: the title track 'Monster,' 'Rain on Me,' 'Who Can Change,' '87 Days,' and 'Don't Save Me.'

Meanwhile, the band Thornapple will release their new mini-album 'My Century' at noon on the 23rd. This is their first release in three years since 'Animal' in 2023 and includes five songs, including the title track 'Planetarium.' Notably, the song 'Acacia' incorporates a brass session for the first time in Thornapple's music. Thornapple will hold concerts of the same name in Seoul and Busan in August.
