Lee Seung Gi comes out with new healing songs

On November 22 at noon, Lee Seung Gi released a new album, entitled Forest, which contains some emotive ballads. This time, Lee’s new musical partner was the Epitone Project. The group produced Lee’s new album and created comforting, healing songs for him to perform.

The lead track, “Turning Back,” is characterized by a beautiful melody composed by the Epitone Project and sung in Lee’s comforting voice. The repetitive melody and emotive lyrics of the refrain are especially impressive.

The other songs on the album are also lyrical and emotive. The comforting sound of Lee’s mature renditions of the songs is attracting a lot of attention. The third track, “Forest,” is offers a feeling of respite to people living in this stressful world.

For this new album, Lee avoided sweet love songs or addictive rock ballads, choosing slow, relaxing songs instead. His successful fifth album, Tonight, which came out in October last year and was done in collaboration with such singer-songwriters as Rady, featured similar songs, so Lee decided to do another album in the same vein.

Lee wrote the lyrics to some of the new songs himself. “Words of Love” is about a man who lets his lover go without saying any words of love. The medium-tempo song “Invitation For Me” is characterized by a variety of instrumental sounds and Lee singing in a lively voice.

Lee has decided not to promote his songs on TV. All tracks from his new album will be released for the first time at his live performances for Lee Seung Gi’s Hope Concert, which will be held at the Gymnastics Arena of the Olympic Park on December 1 and 2.
