K-POP sensation Sandara Park has made an eagerly awaited comeback to the music industry, delighting fans with the launch of her latest mini-album. This release marks her first solo project in six years.
Titled “Sandara Park,” the album arrives following the disbandment of her former girl group, 2NE1, in 2017. Comprising five captivating tracks, the mini-album is spearheaded by the title song “Festival.”
With this new musical endeavor, Park demonstrates her artistic growth and ventures into diverse musical styles. Collaborating with GRAY, Heize, and SJWA, she co-wrote the infectious title track “Festival.” The remaining tracks, namely “Dara Dara,” “T Map,” and “Happy Ending,” bear production or writing credits from these talented artists respectively.
An exceptional highlight of the album is the collaboration with legendary Korean singer Uhm Jung-hwa. The title track “Festival” cleverly samples Uhm Jung-hwa’s renowned 1995 song of the same name, and the accompanying music video features a special appearance by the iconic artist. Within less than 24 hours of its release on YouTube, the “Festival” music video has already surpassed one million views, a testament to the immense anticipation surrounding Park’s return.
In addition to her musical comeback, Park has also made a significant career move by signing with Abyss Company in 2021. This new album stands as her first official release under Abyss, a prominent agency representing other notable K-Pop acts such as Sunmi and GOT7’s BamBam.
