EMERGING South Korean alternative rock singer LØREN has released his debut extended play (EP) Put Up a Fight on Thursday, March 23.
The album is composed of five songs written and produced by this rising artist under 88rising and THEBLACKLABEL.
He also released a stunning music video for the song Folks.
The song Folks amplifies the themes of the album through breathtaking and bloody imagery.
In the music video, LØREN struggles forward through a church as he is bombarded with bullets and arrows, with it ending in him triumphantly playing guitar as fireworks explode around him.
Put Up a Fight highlights LØREN’s unique strengths as a musician as the Korean artist wrote, produced, and played each instrument for all the songs on the EP by himself.
