Hanbyeol, Park Sujin, and Eroom Shine as February's KiTake Stars

Hanbyeol, Park Sujin, and Eroom have been selected as the stars of the second February KiTake by KiTbetter.

On February 23, KiTbetter announced the release of the second themed KiTake album for February.

KiTake is a series of themed kit albums uploaded on KiTbetter's official X account. These albums are chosen from those produced and released through KiTbetter's service, which offers artists an easy and cost-free way to create physical albums for smart devices. The initiative aims to spotlight artists and introduce them to listeners through various related content, supporting their activities.

The theme for the second February KiTake is 'The Space Left by Departed Emotions.' The selected tracks fill the void left by intense emotions with unique personal warmth, capturing feelings of regret, relief, or emptiness.

The first selected kit album is Hanbyeol's 'Double Like.' Known for her kitschy visuals and distinctive voice, Hanbyeol is carving out her own pop style. The title track 'Double Like' is a pop-rock song driven by vintage guitar riffs and upbeat drum beats. It addresses the end of a relationship with straightforward lyrics over a rhythmic melody, offering a clear conclusion. The retro mood and Hanbyeol's strong vocals audibly capture the freshness after emotions have settled.

The second kit album is Park Sujin's 'Come Away With Me.' Park Sujin gained recognition as a talented vocalist after appearing on Mnet's 'Superstar K7' in 2015. Her track 'Blue Wave,' initially released as a debut single in 2017, became a key part of her musical narrative when included in her first full album. Known for her jazz-based, soothing music through various OSTs and singles, she sensibly portrays the blue emptiness following a breakup with a sophisticated city pop sound in this track.

The final kit album is Eroom's 'The Love of All Beings.' Eroom is a singer-songwriter known for her warm and genuine voice that evokes empathy. The track 'Find you,' featuring rapper INO, showcases a harmonious synergy between vocals and rap. The gradually intensifying instrumental arrangement amplifies the deep longing for a departed connection. Eroom's evocative vocals fill the empty space, while INO's rap delicately ties the emotional thread, leaving a lingering impression of unforgettable memories.
