The Seoul Philharmonic Orchestra (SPO) and SM Leisure’s classical label, SM Classics, have as soon as once more joined palms for the discharge of the orchestral model of Pink Velvet’s chart-topping hit “Psycho,” Friday.
The partnership between the SPO and the leisure powerhouse was solid in June 2020, pioneering a collaboration between classical music and Okay-pop.
Since then, they’ve delighted followers with orchestral renditions of iconic Okay-pop songs comparable to Pink Velvet’s “Pink Taste” and SHINee Jonghyun’s “Finish of a Day” in 2020, Pink Velvet’s “Really feel My Rhythm” and aespa’s debut music “Black Mamba” in 2022 and most not too long ago, Ladies’ Era’s “Into The New World” and EXO’s “Growl” in 2023.
The orchestral rendition of “Psycho” is the most recent addition to this collaboration, promising a contemporary interpretation of Okay-pop’s monumental hits by way of the lens of classical music. With preparations that infuse orchestral devices to intensify the music’s melodies, listeners will take pleasure in a symphonic expertise that amplifies the emotional depth of the unique monitor.
Particularly, the incorporation of Rachmaninoff’s Symphony No. 2 lends a definite allure to the association, leading to a mix of classical motifs and modern beats.
The SPO and SM Classics vowed to proceed pushing the boundaries of cross-genre collaboration.
