[SPOTV News=Reporter Kim Won-gyeom] Vocalist Gummy is adding another standout entry to her long line of acclaimed duets. A frequent genre-hopper, she’s aiming for playlist rotation this spring with “You’re Like Spring,” a duet with SEVENTEEN’s main vocalist, Seungkwan.
Over the past 20 years, the artists Gummy has teamed up with form a glittering roster. She first paired with Fly to the Sky on “I Love You, Us,” then collaborated with G-Dragon on “Intro (Work It Now),” T.O.P on “I’m Sorry,” Bobby Kim on “Love Recipe” and “People These Days,” Kim Junsu on “Because It’s Love,” Loco on “Lie Down,” Jo Jung-suk on “First Hello,” and Dynamic Duo on “Take Care.”
Anchored by a distinctive R&B sensibility, Gummy has demonstrated a broad musical range. Her voice moves from the aching intimacy of “I Love You, Us” to the daring electronica of “I’m Sorry” and the hip-hop–meets–ballad blend of “Take Care,” combining delicate feeling with forceful energy on every track.
Her modern tone and soulful delivery are decisive qualities in creating seamless chemistry with artists of differing styles. She slips into any collaboration without feeling out of place, yet leaves a strong imprint that deepens a song’s emotional pull and persuasive power. Her refined phrasing—even when paired with rap—has helped many songs endure.
Expectations are high for “You’re Like Spring,” the seasonal single Gummy and Seungkwan will release on the 24th. Marking Gummy’s 23rd year since debut, the veteran diva teams with Seungkwan, whose role as SEVENTEEN’s main vocalist complements the group’s global reach. Both are at the top of their fields, and the pairing promises another reliably compelling duet. The collaboration also draws attention because it’s Seungkwan’s first official duet with a female vocalist since his debut.
Before the release, Ameba Culture posted a teaser image to its official social channels on the 16th announcing an ARS promotion for “You’re Like Spring.” Calling the number on the flyer plays a short snippet of the song’s gently arranged backing track and lets listeners hear Gummy and Seungkwan, heightening curiosity ahead of the full release.
Gummy and Seungkwan’s duet “You’re Like Spring,” a song built on luminous harmonies that aim to color a spring day, will be released at 6 p.m. on the 24th.
