'Singing again, becoming clear again.'

Hyun-chul Kim's hidden masterpiece 'Nevertheless' is finally resurrected today after 30 years.

The first song 'Nevertheless' from the remake project 'Highcolor' will be unveiled on the major music streaming sites at 6 p.m. on the 29th. THAMA, who is now considered one of the hip-hop R&B vocalists, will reinterpret the voice of city pop icon Hyun-chul Kim in a new style. The 'Highcolor' project will weave a narrative in a series format. It is a notable attempt in a trend where releases are often one-off. Under the slogan 'Restoring emotions,' the remake songs are expected to unfold like a cohesive story.

# Why 'Nevertheless'? 'Nevertheless' is a clever selection as the city pop trend is once again rising these days. Hyun-chul Kim is known as a pioneer of Korean city pop and a representative of sophisticated sensibility. Evaluated as ahead of his time, he is being reexamined 30 years later. The song is included in Hyun-chul Kim's 4th studio album released in 1995. Although it did not receive much attention upon its release, over time it has been discussed as a 'hidden masterpiece' among music fans. The 'Highcolor' project has forefronted this track to satisfy that thirst.

# From Hyun-chul Kim to THAMA in 30 years, THAMA injects new life into 'Nevertheless.' By reinterpreting it in a modern R&B style, it unfolds with a deeper and more sophisticated texture. Emotions are brought to a rich intensity without any explosive elements. The understated nature allows for a deeper emotional resonance. THAMA's distinctive vocals, layered softly over a restrained rhythm, add a contemporary texture while preserving the original song's sentiment.

The warm approach of expressing 'respect' by re-singing a legendary musician's song is notable. THAMA noted, "I hope this song brings back the spotlight on the original and leads more people to discover Hyun-chul Kim's music."

# The first step of 'Highcolor' and sincerity. 'Highcolor' is a remake project that sings beloved songs of an era with new emotions and colors in today's language. It is a remake brand developed by the music creative group 'the ESKIMO,' leading to moments where blurred memories are resurrected with vivid emotions. As it is the first project of producer Young-joong Park, who has built up experience as a reporter, lyricist, and planner, expectations are even higher. The starting point for this extraordinary endeavor, Highcolor Vol.1 'Nevertheless (THAMA),' will awaken the feelings of 30 years ago in a sensorial way at 6 p.m. on the 29th.
