(Pop, KPop, Vocal) Forte Di Quattro - Forte Di Quattro - 2017, MP3, 320 kbps

K-pop levels up with popera Forte di Quattro. Combining elements of pop and opera, the so-called 'popera' singers performed four tracks off their first album. Crossover is a common genre in other countries, but despite Korean artists fusing different genres for decades, many Korean audiences are unfamiliar with 'crossover', not seeing it as a separate genre in itself. "Many Koreans think crossover means popera, but that's a misconception. Popera is a kind of a crossover, but there can be many more, such as the fusion of jazz and Korean traditional folk songs, or of rap and classical music. So, the genre will always be developing".
Phantom Singer winners Lee Byu Ri, Ko Hun Jung, Kim Hyun Su and Son Tae Jin form the first Korean crossover quartet Forte Di Quattro! Their debut release features new songs by world-famous crossover composers, as well as pop classics and songs previously performed on the show.
