Korean-Canadian artist slchld (pronounced seoul-child) has unveiled his highly anticipated EP, ‘APOLOGY’, alongside the focus track “IMAGINE” featuring global hitmaker eaJ.
The new EP ‘APOLOGY’ masterfully showcases his signature blend of smooth R&B/pop melodies and compelling storytelling. Since beginning his music journey in 2018, slchld has built a flourishing catalog of music, amassing hundreds of millions of streams across various platforms.
Longtime friends who met through online gaming, slchld and eaJ have been mutual fans of each other’s work and decided to finally collaborate on the heartfelt track.
“‘IMAGINE’ is a song about reflecting on a relationship where the magic seems to have faded. There isn’t really one side to blame, but the feeling of drifting from each other is there and there is a feeling of self-consciousness that you are holding the other back,” he shares.
Building on the themes of love and perseverance, “IMAGINE” follows the soulful single “CARE”, which delves into the resilience needed to navigate challenging times in relationships.
With over 400 million total streams and an arsenal of heartfelt love songs distinguished by emotive lyrics and slchld’s soulful vocals, his music has deeply resonated with listeners worldwide, particularly in Asia. He has held sold-out headline shows in Bangkok, Singapore, and Taipei, and his songs have dominated viral playlists on Spotify Asia like Viral Hits Thailand, Pop Rising Philippines, and more. Currently, Bangkok ranks at #1 followed closely by Jakarta, Kuala Lumpur, Singapore, Taipei, and Quezon City in his Top 10 Streaming Cities worldwide.
Now based in Seoul, slchld is gearing up for the upcoming ‘APOLOGY’ Asia tour, with dates and locations to be announced in Q3.
