Singer Cho Yong-pil pointed out his direction when writing lyrics.

Cho Yong-pil held a showcase for his 20th full-length album '20' at Bluesqué in Hannam-dong, Yongsan, Seoul on the 22nd and said, `I've sung too many love songs.' `Now I'm going to do music that gives hope.'

In the new work '20', Cho Yong-pil takes Cho Yong-pil's own intense musical seal on a wide genre spectrum across rock, electronica, and ballads. It shows 2024'.



'20' is an album that will be an important milestone in Cho Yong-pil's music world, and contains a total of seven songs, including the title song 'It's okay', 'Chalna', 'Timing', 'Like Serengeti', 'Why', 'Filling of You', and 'La'. Cho Yong-pil, who worked on this new report until the end, said, `I want a grand orchestra to go in. As I did it, I got greedy. It was like that even though the recording of the song was done. It's a bummer", he confessed.

The title song 'It's okay' is a touching cheering song for everyone in this era, and the lyrics are impressive, patting on to believe in yourself and saying that it's a little late. Cho Yong-pil's own modern rock was completed by combining cheerful electric guitar, refreshing jeolchang, and high-resolution sound.



Above all, if you look at the previous hits, the sea had a lot of lyrics about love. Recently, however, it is difficult to find love lyrics. "I sang too many love songs. Cho Yong-pil, "Isn't love like that?" is similar to his heart when writing the lyrics of 'Dream these days. I wrote lyrics after seeing an editorial about young people flocking to the city from the countryside. I don't write it, but I still make requests to the lyricists these days."

There seem to be many songs that seem to be cheering songs for this new report. Cho Yong-pil said "If you listen to old songs, don't you think there are such songs?" There are some music that cheer us up and give us hope. It seems to be an extension of that. Since I received such comfort, I think I should do it, too."



In the meantime, young people who are struggling must have a hard process to complete one thing. If you keep struggling, you can't do it in the end. Even if it's hard, you have to finish it. Maybe even a small thing will develop further in the future," he said.

The music video featured talented actors Park Geun-hyung, Jeon Mi-do, Lee So-om, and Byun Yo-han. Cho Yong-pil's unique powerful voice will be added with the actors' in-depth acting skills to increase the level of immersion in the music video. In addition, the dolphin gang, a top-notch video production company, participated in the production to add completeness.

I left it up to "You can do it" to work with hot people. I don't think it's my thing to meddle in. They're famous. Previously, I liked the animation music video of Feeling of You. Let's try it, I did it because I thought it was interesting."

Cho Yong-pil's 20th full-length album '20' will be released on various music sites at 6 p.m. on the 22nd, and the CD will be released on November 1.
