Sunmi, a prominent figure in the K-pop industry known for her distinctive music style referred to as "Sunmi-pop" by her audience, has unveiled her latest single titled "Stranger." The release marks her return to the music scene after a hiatus of one year and four months, during which she embarked on a global concert tour.

In a recent press conference, Sunmi expressed her desire to present music that authentically represents her true self, rather than striving to introduce something entirely novel to her audience. The new single "Stranger" is described by the singer as quintessentially "Sunmi-ish," reflecting her persona and style that fans have long awaited.

The three-song single, entirely produced by Sunmi herself, includes tracks titled "Stranger," "Calm Myself," and "Call My Name." In the lead track, "Stranger," Sunmi explores the concept of viewing herself from an outsider's perspective, symbolized by the enigmatic "Mr. Stranger" in the lyrics.

"Calm Myself," an English-language song that opens the album, delves into the theme of self-healing, illustrating personal growth and resilience. The final track, "Call My Name," encapsulates self-love from the perspective of fans, inspired by their unwavering support and love for Sunmi throughout her career.

Sunmi, now in her seventeenth year of a successful singing career, has transitioned from her debut as a member of the girl group Wonder Girls in 2007 to becoming a solo artist in 2013. Renowned for her addictive melodies and captivating performances, Sunmi has embraced her role as a singer-songwriter, sharing her stories and experiences through her music.

As a female solo artist, Sunmi emphasized the importance of producing her own music, which has played a critical role in her continued success within the competitive K-pop industry. Through self-production, she has found a means of expression and a way to connect with her audience, staying true to her unique artistic identity.

Sunmi's latest single, "Stranger," was released at 6 p.m. on Tuesday, adding a new chapter to her musical journey.
