Fromm / 프롬 - Under The Daylight Moon / 낮달 (official music video)
Click + Listen #62 features the promising artist, Fromm. I discovered her via Mirrorball Music's Youtube channel with her catchy song below.
Fromm / 프롬 - A Spring Day Out / 봄맞이 가출 (official music video)
Fromm (프롬 in Korean) is a Korean female singer-songwriter-musician from Busan, now based in Seoul who performs with a band on stage. Her stage name comes from the name of the German philosopher called Fromm.
It's nothing better to know more about her in this interesting interview of the show K-Populous on Arirang TV (October 2014) (with English subtitles) :
For those who know well about the Korean independant music scene, like Chris from Korean Indie who reviewed her first album " Arrival" (1), I find that her songs don't remind me of typical songs by Korean independant artists. Also read his review about her recent single "Under The Daylight Moon" (2).
She arranged all the songs of her album "Arrival" by herself and when listening to it, you feel that all the songs are connected in some way and you can easily listen to it from the first to the last track.

"Arrival" is her first album released in October 2013.
Fromm / 프롬 - Merry Go Round / 메리 고 라운드 (live)
"Under The Daylight Moon" is a single released in May 2014.
Her voice is mesmerising and her songs are absolutely perfect. I'd love to find some of the lyrics translated somewhere.

- from "Arrival": 2. Don't Play With My Heart, 3. You and I, 4. Like You, 6. Moon Says, 7. Merry Go Round, 8. Come To Meet, 9. Isn't It Love, 10. Fireworks
- from "Under The Daylight Moon": 2. Under The Daylight Moon, 3. A Memory Spring (instrumental)
- from "Haenyeo, Living The Legacy / 해녀, 이름을 잇다", a 2013 short film about a still active 82-year-old female Korean diver : 그녀의 바다

A rainbow hangs in the night. The notable female singer-songwriter ‘Fromm’ wanted to tell people pursuing an ideal about valuable moment which passes unwittingly. “Tonight, there is a rainbow in the night sky for you. Everybody suffer from aftermath.” Mirrorball Music
