I never claimed to be normal

Lee Sun-mi, known mononymously as Sunmi, is a South Korean singer, dancer, songwriter and record producer. She debuted in 2007 as a member of popular South Korean girl group at the time called Wonder Girls. Sunmi had her debut as a soloist in 2013 and has released many chart topping singles.

I personally have been following Sunmi’s music ever since her debut so it has been about 12 years now since I became her fan. I have really enjoyed watching her music evolve over time and her take more creative control over it. In her most recently released album, Heart Maid, she has had her hands in not only writing the lyrics but composing most of the songs on it, which I highly respect and admire.

After listening to her most recent album I was very impressed and wanted to share a few of my favorites from it, all songs with different vibes showing her versatility:

I wanted to end on one of my favorite performances of a few of her older tracks (her with the band and that sax player especially is soo good!) 🎷

Sunmi has also talked about her struggles with mental health in interviews, something that is still very stigmatized in South Korea. Aside from her massive talent and creativity, her openness and honesty is just another thing that I respect about her and makes me proud to be a fan of her all of these years. 💖
