Singer-songwriter Kim Yuna of rock band Jaurim will release her fifth album, “Tales of Sensuality", her first solo full-length album in eight years.

The album will drop at 6 p.m. on Thursday.

The 10-track album will have two lead tracks: “An End” and “La Vie Rosée.” The music video for “An End” will be released Thursday, while the music video for “La Vie Rosée” starring actor Han Ye-ri will be uploaded a week later, according to Interpark Entertainment.

The album consists of tracks in a variety of styles and features special artists, according to the agency.

“An End” is a ballad in Kim's quintessential style. Other tracks explore styles beyond what Kim is known for; “La Vie Rosée” has tango elements, “Scent” has jazz undertones and “Last Scene” features Flamenco guitar instrumentals.

Singers Lee-Hi, Kim Feel, Bek Hyunjin and Yi Sung Yol are featured in four of the album’s songs: "The garden of adverbs (feat. Lee Hi)," "Carmelia (feat. Kim Feel)," "An Average Man (feat. Bek Hyunjin)" and "U (feat. Yi Sung Yol)."

This is Kim’s first solo full-length album in eight years after her fourth solo album, “The Pain of Others,” dropped in 2016.


Kim debuted in 1997 as Jaurim's frontman and began her solo activities in 2001 with her full-length album "Shadow of Your Smile." Jaurim, which celebrated its 27th anniversary since debut this year, is known for songs “Hey Hey Hey" (1997), “Magic Carpet Ride” (2000), “Ha Ha Ha Song” (2004), “Twenty-five, Twenty-one” (2013) and “XOXO” (2018).

Following the album release, Kim will hold concerts, titled “Tales of Sensuality” like the album, at the LG Arts Center from Thursday to Sunday.
