Sung Si Kyung & Laiza Drop Duet Song

Singer Sung Si-kyung and Indonesian singer Raisa are releasing a duet song titled 'HEAVEN KNOWS'. The song will be released on the 19th at 6 PM KST through various online music sites. 'HEAVEN KNOWS' conveys messages of love, hope, destiny, and connection beyond culture and borders, with Raisa taking on the Korean lyrics and Sung Si-kyung tackling the English lyrics, completing a cross-cultural collaboration.

The connection between the two artists began at Sung Si-kyung's concert late last year. Raisa attended the performance by invitation from an acquaintance, which led to her meeting Sung Si-kyung. Subsequently, a cover video of Lionel Richie's 'Endless Love' released on Sung Si-kyung's YouTube channel garnered significant attention. This video surpassed 1 million views on YouTube and 2 million views on Instagram Reels, gaining popularity, and the original artist, Lionel Richie, even left a comment praising the performance.

Buoyed by this collaboration, the two artists are once again joining forces for their first original duet song, 'HEAVEN KNOWS'. This song harmoniously blends the delicate emotions characteristic of Korean ballads with modern global pop sounds, enhanced by rich orchestral arrangements to deliver a profound resonance. The production of this new song was handled by E2W Group, a German entertainment company actively involved in connecting the Asian and global music markets.

Sung Si-kyung revealed that he played a song he originally intended to release around winter to Raisa, and she liked it, leading to the collaboration. Raisa added that she felt "a very Korean sensibility" from the song, finding it new and captivating. More pictorials and interviews with the two artists can be found in the June issue of @star1.
