Promising rapper Smartt has released his new single, “Kininaru“, for the first time in about six months. This song incorporates a love story blending “fun” and “frustration” in Smartt’s typical lyrics, creating a chill pop sound that shines with the use of guitar. “Kininaru” is an upbeat and easy-to-listen-to track, even for those unfamiliar with Hip-Hop. It successfully combines the heaviness and freshness characteristic of this musical genre, making it a universally appealing song.
Smartt’s live performance, accompanied by his DJ style using the MPC Live, has garnered significant attention. The sound production of this track was done by MPC GIRL USAGI, an artist known for her performances at various events and collaborations with other artists. The album cover, designed by Alin, an active designer in Korea, is inspired by the lyrics “Kininaru” and “Suki Naru“. The theme of the cover, “Love Games“, perfectly reflects the spirit of the song. By incorporating trendy words such as MBTI and SNS, Smartt once again showcases his talent for capturing the zeitgeist. His lyrics evoke nighttime and club scenes, reminiscent of his dynamic club activity. The great appeal of “Kininaru” lies in its ability to resonate with listeners while highlighting Smartt’s individuality.
