Global pop sensation KUN has returned with a fresh burst of retro-soul charm, unveiling his new single ‘What a Day’. The upbeat groove, recorded live to tape, captures the joyous energy of his sold-out Los Angeles show at The Fonda in August and marks the latest chapter in his expanding musical evolution.
Blending modern production with the warm textures of classic soul and vintage rock, ‘What a Day’ showcases KUN’s expressive vocal range through English lyrics and effortless flair. Alongside the single, he released a lavish, one-shot music video inspired by the behind-the-scenes world of old Hollywood musicals, filmed entirely in London and fully choreographed to match the song’s vibrant spirit.
Speaking about the track, KUN shares, “‘What a Day’ is about appreciating the simple, ordinary moments in life. We recorded the song to tape to capture the energy of the live band and nod to some of the great artists who have shaped me. I want the listener to feel like they are in the studio with us.”
‘What a Day’ continues the momentum built by his international debut earlier this year with ‘Deadman,’ followed by the funk-influenced romantic single ‘Jasmine.’ Beyond releasing new music, KUN has been making an impact on global stages, including headline sets at Head In The Clouds in New York and Los Angeles, and his sold-out Fonda Theatre concert.
the music video that accompanies the track is a grand visual spectacle that draws from vintage influences of retro films and dance sequences. The video follows KUN around movie a set with stunning backdrops and charismatic choreography that channels the irresistable groove the track holds.
Across Asia, KUN’s influence continues to rise. He was recently honoured as All-Round Artist of the Year at JOOX’s Top Music Night in Bangkok and headlined the inaugural Bubbling & Boiling Festival in Singapore. He also continues to dominate the fashion world through major collaborations — from appearing at Gentle Monster’s HAUS NOWHERE in Seoul to serving as global makeup ambassador for Charlotte Tilbury and global fragrance ambassador for Mugler. Most recently, he was spotted at Mugler’s show at Paris Fashion Week, reinforcing his status as an artist seamlessly bridging music, fashion, and culture.
With ‘What a Day,’ KUN deepens this new era of expressive, classic-meets-contemporary sound, offering fans another glimpse into the artistry he continues to hone on a global scale.
