Kang Seung-yoon and Song Min-ho impressed music listeners with their emotional reinterpretation of “Still Life” with WINNER’s color.
WINNER members Kang Seung-yoon and Song Min-ho released a cover video of BIG BANG’s “Still Life” on the evening of July 17th.
“Still Life”, which was reborn with WINNER’s own color, suited their voices so well. Kang Seung-yoon’s appealing vocal melting into the simple melody of the song together with Song Min-ho’s dynamic rap created a great synergy that completed a new narrative of “Still Life”.
Kang Seung-yoon digested Tae-yang and Dae-sung’s singing parts perfectly and once again proved himself as a “trustworthy” vocalist. By adding his soulful vibe to his powerful voice, Kang Seung-yoon multiplied the loneliness feeling conveyed through the original song. His flexible speed control and rich emotions made the listeners sink deep into the lingering emotions.
Song Min-ho introduced his self-written rap, which is different from the original lyrics by G-Dragon and T.O.P. “The sigh of a mature dreamer overlaps with my very self” – Song Min-ho implied a message directly in the new lyrics, giving a glimpse of his philosophy. The unique lyrical expression with structured rhymes is also the point that confirms himself as an extraordinary artist.
While the strengths of Kang Seung-yoon and Song Min-ho stand out, the stage production, which transcends an atmosphere that is both calm and dynamic, reminded the viewers of a music video. Special effects, such as the set and props depicting the flow of time that blooms and withers, pin lighting matching the set, as well as special effects like thunderbolts and volcanic ash gave a great sense of immersion.
By reinterpreting “Still Life” with WINNER’s unique music color and expanding the fun to allow listeners to listen to the song in various ways, good responses are pouring out. “This is the first time I see WINNER perform a song in this mood. I’m overwhelmed “, “I got goosebumps while listening to it”, “Kang Seung-yoon’s vocal matches the song perfectly”, “Song Min-ho’s lyrics are genius”, “As expected from YG Family! WINNER is so amazing!”, fans commented enthusiastically.
WINNER recently released their new album “HOLIDAY” and topped the iTunes chart in 18 countries. The title song “I LOVE YOU” is ranking high on major domestic music charts, such as Melon, Naver Vibe, Genie, and Bugs.
