KIM TAE RAE strips 'Reminiscence' back and lets the vocal breathe

ZB1's KIM TAE RAE showcased his clean vocals by remaking San Ul Lim's masterpiece, 'Reminiscence.' In a recently released recording behind-the-scenes video, KIM TAE RAE revealed the process of choosing 'subtraction' over flashy techniques.

To preserve the emotion of the song, KIM TAE RAE explained, "I felt like it's a song that becomes strange if it's excessive, so I stripped everything away; the point is to sing it as if I am speaking." He focused on practice, fine-tuning to find the song's color, and shared, "I think the result came out well because it seems to align well with the direction I am practicing now."

The following project was 'Ring of Promise,' the OST for the drama 'Ossakhan Yeonae.' Regarding this song, which has a different texture from the previous remake, KIM TAE RAE confessed, "It was very difficult because it is a song that is hard to decode and pushes you hard."

Even though his condition was not perfect at the time, KIM TAE RAE increased the quality of the work by re-recording from the beginning to ensure he did not miss the surging emotional lines. He focused on delivering the energy of the song while comforting himself, saying, "I like songs that push hard, so I sang it well." Even amidst the fatigue immediately following his activities, KIM TAE RAE's dedication to breathing exercises and periodic checks was observed both inside and outside the recording studio.
