(Following interview ①)
Music producer Konquest has revealed the song "Cinnamon Shake" from the group ALPHADRIVEONE's debut album.
Recently, Star News met with the composer Conquest to talk about a variety of music work.
Konquest, who started his career as hip-hop music by participating in songs by rappers Drunken Tiger, Yoon Mirae, Bizzy, Woo Won-jae, Junoflo, and Bibi, has since worked with leading K-pop artists such as Kim Jae-joong, Aldi One, Mamamoo Wheein, Blitzers, 82 Major, and Waker to create a more colorful music spectrum.
Recently, he participated in the composition and composition of Cinnamon Shake, the last track of Mnet idol survival "Boyz 2 Planet" debut group Aldi1's debut album "Euphoria".
Regarding the "Cinnamon Shake" work, Conquest said, "When I first received a cut (sales) call, I was unexpectedly a little calm. There are quite a few cases where a song is selected and then left out, so I tend to be calm. This is the song I worked on at an overseas camp where I first participated in UP Music, which I currently belong to."
"I've been working on someone since I made the beat.""I had the idea of making music of a style that I like and can do well without restrictions, but Hwaji and Hugo Andersson, who worked together, completed a wonderful top line with the same mind," he explained.
How did you feel when you heard "Cinnamon Shake" with the voices of Aldi1 members. When asked, Conquest said, "Actually, the flow of the rap part was quite complicated, so I was worried that it would be difficult when recording, but I was grateful that the members implemented it so well. In particular, I don't know if it's intended, but I really liked the fact that the ad-lib of "Uh!" in the middle of the rap part was made cute with a feeling of "Woong!"
He also said, "I watched all of the performance videos of 'Cinnamon Shake'. It wasn't an active song, so I think I watched it carefully 10 times. I feel good because the choreography movements and emotional expressions I thought when I made music seem to be well expressed," he said.
When asked about his most favorite work among the numerous albums or songs he has participated in so far, Conquest picked up the album "Hannah" with rapper QM.
"Ironically, 'Hannah' is also the album that has had the greatest impact on K-pop work," he said, explaining the reason, "because it is an album that made me realize how meaningful it is for producers to participate in and plan their work independently."
He said, "The song 'Next time', which is the track of the album, is the root of various compositions that have been established in my career since then. I remember working happily with QM while trying various things at that time," he recalled of his time working with QM.
