TUNE OF THE WEEK: Eddy Kim “Coffee & Tea”

This week featured Tune is one I listened to once and absolutely fell in love with and I just have to squee about it a little, so here goes.

I first fell in love with Eddy Kim back in January when I stumbled across his video for “Apologize” during one of my adventures in the land of YouTube. I was immediately impressed by both his vocal and musical talent but even more impressed by the fact that his album Sing, Sing, Sing was fully self-composed. I’m always a sucker for anyone who not only performs amazing music but writes it as well, so naturally I fell hard for Eddy Kim. (I know, I know, I’m a bit behind on my Eddy Kim fangirling but late is better than never, right?)

Since January I’ve been on the lookout for this amazing performer and today I found him, his newest video just sitting there on YouTube, waiting for me to find him and fall in love all over again. And you know what? I did. Oh boy did I ever!

Eddy Kim’s latest song, “Coffee & Tea” is a sweet and catchy collaboration with MAMAMOO’s Solar and I absolutely love it! It’s just the most perfect combination of sultry vocals and plucky instrumentals ever and every time I listen to it I go into this kinda of happy zombie trance where everything in the world turns into lollipops and gum drops and cotton candy and cupcakes. In other words, it makes me happy.

I really hope Eddy Kim continues to make music for a very long time because every time I come across one of his songs, I’m transported to the Happy Land of Fangirl and it’s such a lovely place to be, I don’t ever want to leave. Of course I’m sure this more mellow, slightly jazzy tune might not appeal to everyone but I hope you give it a try. You never know, you might just find a new favorite artist to add to your playlist.

So tell me, what do you think of “Coffee & Tea”? Are you digging it as much as I am or is it really not your cup of tea? Let me know in the comments below!
