New Boat – 하현상 (Ha Hyun Sang)

Singer-songwriter Ha Hyun Sang returns with his second full-length album, New Boat, breaking a three-year hiatus from regular album releases. After maintaining a steady creative pace with five single releases last year, he took full charge of writing and composing all nine tracks on this record, further solidifying and diversely expanding his unique musical framework. As the title New Boat suggests, the album reflects the artist's determination to leave familiar shores and venture into uncharted waters. The title track, "Odyssey," serves as a symbolic anthem for this journey, blending a refreshing, open sound with Ha Hyun Sang's signature vocals to deliver a multi-dimensional sense of liberation. This latest release features a sophisticated infusion of pop elements through a collaboration with producer Kim Jun-won, alongside diverse musical experiments such as the track "biscuit," which features artist SUMIN. Seamlessly traversing genres like rock, gospel, pop, and ballad, the nine tracks converge into a singular, cohesive voice under the identity of Ha Hyun Sang, marking a significant new milestone in his career.
