“7” is Urban Zakapa’s new release, coming nine months after they released their mini-album “STAY” last November.
This single includes the title track “Blue Diamond” and the B-side “Unboxing.” Both songs are pop and R&B-based tracks written and composed solely by Jo Hyun-ah.
“Blue Diamond” conveys the message, “Let’s break free from the world’s standards and complicated thoughts and set off on a journey of freedom.” Their agency, Andrew Company, described it as “a song characterized by a gently flowing, dreamlike sound.”
“Unboxing” is a song that expresses the desire to cherish precious memories. Her agency explained, “It conveys the hope that, rather than letting the moments and emotions we share now slip away, we’ll treasure them one by one, so that someday we can ‘unbox’ those memories together and revisit them.”
Jo Hyun-ah said, “I hope these songs serve as an opportunity for people to move forward at their own pace, discover their own worth, and cherish the precious moments they share with their loved ones in their hearts.”
