Solbi will release the digital single "Holiday" through various online music platforms at noon on June 21. This new release marks her first solo track in about two years since "Monday Disco," which was released in 2024. As a member of the group Typhoon, it is her first new song in about a year since "Pong Dang! Pook" was released last year.
The release is particularly meaningful as it is a commemorative single marking Solbi's 20th anniversary in the industry. Since debuting with the group Typhoon in 2006, Solbi has built her own unique career by balancing her work as both a singer and a painter. Having maintained a distinct path through consistent musical activities and art exhibitions, she plans to once again showcase her presence as a singer with this new track.
The new song "Holiday" is a modern reinterpretation of rock & roll with pop elements. It features a rhythmic band sound, an addictive melody, and Solbi's signature refreshing vocals, evoking a summer vibe. The song captures the desire to break free from the repetitive daily routine and dream of freedom, aiming to deliver bright and positive energy.
The single draws attention for being produced by performance director Goonjo. Goonjo has maximized Solbi's musical capabilities and performance charm, creating a new synergy. As the two artists, who have each established unique styles in their respective fields, are collaborating for the first time, expectations for the special result are rising.
Furthermore, hit composer Park Hae-woon, known for creating songs such as DJ DOC's "Dance with DOC" and "Run To You," as well as COOL's "Beer and Peanuts," participated in the project to enhance its quality. Solbi also took part in writing the lyrics, infusing the song with her own personal story.
The concept images released alongside the announcement feature Solbi and Goonjo styled in vintage denim jackets and patterned scarves. The free-spirited atmosphere against a red brick building and the retro aesthetic further highlight the energy of the new song.
Solbi and Goonjo, who are working together for the first time through this project, also plan to appear on various concert and festival stages in the future. Attention is focused on what kind of performances will emerge from their collaboration, which transcends both music and performance.
Meanwhile, Solbi's digital single "Holiday" will be released at noon on June 21.
