Nah

Award-winning singer Youn Sun Nah announces her new album "Elles", which will be released via Warner Music Arts.

Korean singer Youn Sun Nah is one of the most brilliantly successful artists of our time in jazz and the music related to it. Four years have passed since her last highly successful opus, “Lento”, and now the extremely popular Korean, Parisbased vocal star is back, with a new album. It is a completely fresh project, recorded with a top New York band. Great intimacy, poetry and charm, pure-toned and emotional honesty - you can expect all of that from Youn Sun Nah.

Jazz sensation for fifteen years, the South Korean singer Youn Sun Nah, already a gold record in France is known for its exploration of an ever exclusive repertoire: from her original covers of standard rock, folk or song to his compositions with pop accents.

In our time and age, a jazz singer from Korea may still seem like an exotic concept. But anyone who knows how much effort Asian countries invest in education and promotion also knows about the growing circle of jazz fans in the region. So with notable exceptions it’s astounding that there aren’t more artists from Korea or Japan whose names are on everyone’s lips. However, Youn Sun Nah could change all that, and as the first Korean artist exclusively under contract with ACT, anyone listening to her debut album "Voyage" will understand why.

Light As Fuck is the 2015 "album" by Philadelphia artist Michul Kuun, who goes by the simple name of Nah. While it is the length of a standard EP, this is listed as an album. This was originally released on cassette before it was put out on compact disc by Ranch.

Often compared to Diana Krall and Norah Jones, award-winning Korean singer Youn Sun Nah displays her unique qualities on Lento as she blends different cultural and musical sources in a respectful yet unconventional manner. Besides jazz and related styles, she draws on chanson, pop and folk music. In addition to original compositions by her and her band members, there is a cover of a Nine Inch Nails song ("Hurt") and "Ghost Riders in the Sky", a classic country song made famous by Johnny Cash. And, for the first time, Nah explores European classical music: Alexander Scriabin’s 5 Preludes, Op. 16 was a source of inspiration for the album’s title and it also sets up an intimate, atmospheric and harmonious musical world.

Korean singer Youn Sun Nah is one of the most brilliantly successful artists of our time in jazz (or more accurately, jazz-related music). In her native country she is a major star. Her love of chanson took her to France, the country where her meteoric rise and her huge success (150,000+ sales of her last two albums) all across Europe took wing. Youn s voice is instantly recognizable, charismatically urgent and infinitely adaptable and with 'She Moves On' this chameleonic and delightful artist has reinvented herself once again.

Award-winning singer Youn Sun Nah announces her new album “Elles“, which will be released on January 26, 2024 via Warner Music Arts. Already today you can look forward to the single “Feeling Good“.
