Sam Kim Talked about His Dance Music Single ‘Smile’ and More

The famous singer and songwriter Sam Kim finally released his most-awaited DANCE MUSIC single this January! Here Sam Kim talked about his newest single, ‘Smile,’ based on the interview with the singer.

Sam Kim new dance music single ‘Smile’ interview

1. About the process

Firstly, congratulations on your new release! Can you describe how your writing/production process went for this project?

Thank you so much! At first, I wrote the song with a guitar, like I usually do. Then, I sent it over to R3HAB, and he worked his magic over it to completely transform it from the original. Very fun process!

How did your collaboration with R3HAB come about?

My team showed me his music, and I really liked it. So, I was curious what would come out if we worked together.

2. The story and message Sam Kim conveys in ‘Smile’

What is one interesting backstory behind a song that fans may not know about?

Usually, you record in the songs original bpm (tempo), but for this song, my producer Simon Pétren and I thought it’d be interesting to record it in a slower bpm and speed it back up to the original. What you hear is that effect.

What message did you want to communicate to listeners with this track?

Sam Kim got funk

If you could describe your upcoming track in one word, what would it be?

Funkadellic

3. ‘Smile’ is not the first dance track of Sam Kim

You’ve gained a huge listening and fan base for your talents to convey emotional stories in tracks such as “Love Me Like That” while showing your versatility during R&B tunes like “These  Walls.” So, what made you decide to now venture into creating your first dance music track? How did you find the experience?

This actually wouldn’t be my first dance track! I have a song called ‘Dance’ and a song called ‘The Juice’ which I actually danced too. Overall, even though they were all slightly out of my comfort zone, I had a lot of fun writing and singing them.

‘The Juice’ was such a fun song and perfect for the middle of summer. You have truly mastered the R&B genre. What is a genre you want to try next? Which genres do you like listening to in your day-to-day?

I would love to get into hip-hop. Though I don’t have the voice or delivery of a rapper, I really do enjoy listening to the stories of rappers with those qualities. Kendrick is my go-to.

4. Sam Kim love any genres

Did you have any fears about diving into a new genre other than R&B and K-Pop?

Not at all! I love exploring new genres; I think there’s always something to learn in each one. Though, I have yet to learn my lesson in heavy metal. That’s for another time.

As a musician, how does it feel working a dance music track when you have mostly worked on ballads, acoustics with your guitar?

It was really refreshing to step out of my bubble for a little bit and dive into unfamiliar grounds. I end up learning and growing the most in these situations.

5. Sam Kim and best Kdramas OSTs

We have to also talk about your viral OST ‘Love Me Like That’ for the popular K-drama ‘Nevertheless.’ What was your response when you realized that it had become such a hit?

I remember writing this song a few years back when I was going through a rough time, and it’s probably why I never thought to give it a chance. But, when I saw how many people could relate to the song, the doubt went away, and I think the 20-year-old me who wrote it finally felt accepted.

‘Love and Relationships’ are the broad themes in a lot of your music and OSTs. What do you think it is about music that elevates a drama or movie further since you’ve lent your voice to so many memorable OSTs?

Even though I can’t see the scenes my OSTs will play in beforehand; I try my hardest to read the story in the lyrics and deliver the emotions to the best of my ability. I ask the songwriter lots of questions, such as should I sing this phrase a little softer? More powerful, sad? etc. The songwriters behind every such decision are the real MVPs.

6. Sam Kim to collaborate with BTS and Bibi

You have worked and collaborated with a variety of artists. From Zico to pH-1 and Crush, are there any other Korean artists you like listening to nowadays or have been inspired by and would like to collaborate with them in the future?

So many! I would love to do something with BTS as a songwriter and collab with BiBi as an artist. So many talented people to draw inspiration from.

7. Sam Kim recommended songs

Can you recommend some songs that you enjoy listening to these days?

Silk Sonic. Anything by them. Being a long-time fan of both Anderson .Paak and Bruno Mars. This project, to me, is a dream come true. A specific song I listen to when I feel like nothing’s going right is Park Hyo Shin’s – Breath. It never fails to remind me that I’m not alone.

8. Spending spare time doing ‘Squid Game’ games?

What do you like to do in your spare time? What is your hobby? ‘

Love playing good ol’ fashioned FPS games. Lately, however, I’m more into single-player adventure games with a nice story to dive into.

You watched the globally popular “Squid Game” drama, correct? So if you could excel at one challenge, which would it be and why?

With most of the games being based on luck, the only game I’m confident in is Red Light, Green Light. Mama told me never to fall for and chase after a girl who can spin her head 180 degrees and kill on sight, but you know, love will prevail, and all that.

9. The 2022 goal

As we enter the New Year, what is your main goal for 2022, and what would you like to show fans next?

I can’t say because I don’t want to jinx it, but I do have lots planned! It’s finally my year, the year of the Tiger, and I want to make it meaningful!

10. Sam Kim to global fans

Can you please share some words of love for your global fans?

Thank you so much for all the support. Every each and one of you push me to be a better me and also shows me love that I sometimes forget to give myself. I wish you all health and happiness in these rough times, and I will see you all very soon.
