[Sports Seoul | Reporter Ham Sang-beom] Harpist and singer-songwriter Sim Sojeong advances her musical path with a new single.
On the 19th, she released the digital single '꿈결처럼 (Like a Dream)' across major online music platforms.
The dream-pop track pairs the harp’s clear, glassy tone with airy, otherworldly textures to create the sensation of walking through a dream. Following her first EP, Reborn Hearts, released last November, Sim deepens the harp-centered, emotive sound she explored on that record.
The song opens quietly and steadily expands, building a lyrical flow that carries increasing emotional weight. Sim’s restrained, distinctive vocal delivery adds a quiet intensity and leaves a lingering impression. A warm, springlike mood pervades the track, gently stirring the listener’s emotions.
After the single and its music video were released, listeners praised the song as “beautiful, like hearing something inside a dream,” “perfectly capturing the thrill of spring,” and “so soft and lovely,” giving Sim’s new release strong positive feedback.
About 'Like a Dream,' Sim said, “It’s music that captures moments drifting between reality and feeling. I hope the song settles naturally into each listener’s memories and emotions.”
With her EP Reborn Hearts, she demonstrated her ability to unfold emotional narrative as a singer-songwriter. She followed that with the singles \"Winter Blossom\" and \"Runaway,\" maintaining a clear musical direction.
Centering her work on harp and voice, Sim has carved out a distinct artistic space. 'Like a Dream' has drawn attention for pushing the harp beyond its classical associations and foregrounding it as a central sound in emotionally driven pop music.
Meanwhile, 'Like a Dream' is available on all domestic online music platforms. intellybeast@sportsseoul.com
