Somdef releases ‘Some Definition of Love’ EP
Somdef has released his second mini album, ‘Some Definition of Love‘, today. The EP features Loco, Crush, George, Hoody, BewhY, SUMIN, Jinbo, and Bravo.
Somdef released his first album ‘Somdef’ in 2013 and his first single ‘Ring Ring Ring (Feat. Verbal Jint, Paloalto, DPR LIVE, Car, the Garden)‘ in 2017. He produced G2‘s ‘Hymn (Feat. Don Mills)‘ as well as tracks for Mad Clown and Yankie.
Last month, Somdef pre-released the single and music video ‘ONE PLUS ONE‘ off ‘Some Definition of Love’.
What would you answer if you were asked, “What is love?”
Love means a lot of different things to different people. Based on the current situation you are in, or past experiences you have had, one could think of love as thrilling and exciting or as sorrow or sadness.
On this album, all the artists, including Somdef, tried to give their own definition of love through the songs they worked on.
“What song suits your definition of love?”

SOMDEF drops single and music video ‘ONE PLUS ONE (Feat. LOCO, Bravo)’
DJ and producer SOMDEF has released his new single and music video ‘ONE PLUS ONE‘ featuring rapper LOCO and singer Bravo today.
SOMDEF released his first album ‘Somdef’ in 2013 and his first single ‘Ring Ring Ring (Feat. Verbal Jint, Paloalto, DPR LIVE, Car, the Garden)‘ in 2017. He produced G2‘s ‘Hymn (Feat. Don Mills)‘ as well as tracks for Mad Clown and Yankie.
The producer’s second single is his first with WNA Records, a label for DJs and producers. AOMG‘s LOCO and singer Bravo of Beautiful Noise and Childwood perform the track.
The lyrics were written with support from Mad Clown, while singer-songwriter Jinbo helped with the arrangement and the chorus. Seokcheol Yoon, known for his work with Zion.T, contributed to the arrangement on the keyboards.
People often say that one plus one equals one, or two. In the first case, it means that two people become one, and in the second it means that their happiness is doubled. Either way, it is a positive equation. That makes this song perfect for confessing your feelings to someone you love.
