[08.08.19][news] The countdown to Shin Hyesung's 3rd album begins

Having released his 2nd album, 'The Beginning, New Days' a year ago, Shin Hyesung is now back with his 3rd album where he finally gets to experiment with the different kinds of musical genres that he's been wanting to.

His 3rd album will consist of 2 parts: Side 1 where Shin Hyesung challenges different musical genres; and Side 2 where he returns to his trademark ballads.

He will first release Side 1 - Live and Let Live, featuring different genres like alternative, Britrock, swing, and big band. Side 2 will focus on ballads, and will likely be released in December this year.

The title track, Because of You, was written by singer/songwriter Vink of the rock band N.E.X.T and former member of Wittgenstein, who had previously written Island from Shin Hyesung's 2nd album. Together with lyricist Yoon Sara, this song - which is very appropriate for a magical autumn experience -was born.

In addition, the song which carries a Britrock feel to it, is likely to go down well with fans and music listeners with its catchy melody, strong guitar riffs and Shin Hyesung's unique vocals.

Other artistes such as Wheesung, Yurisangja's Park Seung Hwa, Wanted's Kim Jae Suk, 2006 Miss Korea Honey Lee have also participated on this album, making each song special in its own right. Park Seung Hwa wrote and featured on the track Promise, and the harmony will be something different from the usual style of Yurisangja.

Shin Hyesung said, "Like its title - Live and Let Live - the 3rd album aims to change my image of a ballad singer and I will challenge different musical genres in a style unique to Shin Hyesung. I'm more nervous than ever and I know that the expectations from the fans will be very high too. I went about making this album with my best efforts so that I wouldn't have any regrets after that. I hope that this album will be the best album that fans and the public will remember."

Prior to the release of the album, 2 teaser videos have been released on 8th and 14th August, and as a result have heightened the anticipation of the fans more than ever. Interviews with Shin Hyesung and the composers/lyricists will also be released on the official website from Aug 19 onwards.
