'Someday': K-drama's 'OST King' Sam Kim collabs with Indonesian artist Raisa for duet

Sam Kim, best known for the title track of Netflix’s 'Nevertheless,' has now collaborated with Indonesian singer Raisa for the new single 'Someday'

Singer and songwriter Sam Kim made his official debut back in 2016 with his mini-album, ‘I am Sam,’ becoming one of the many loved RnB artists to emerge from South Korea's K-pop industry. Now as he gears up for the release of his new dance song, Sam Kim is still sticking true to his RnB roots, and being the ‘OST King’ that he is, giving fans a dreamy release to look forward to. He has collaborated with Indonesian artist Raisa, who released her fourth full-length album ‘It’s Personal’ on November 12, available on all music streaming platforms.

The album features a duet titled ‘Someday’ featuring Sam Kim — a song that talks about a couple who can’t show their honest feelings to each other because of their pride. Mixing Indonesian music with K-pop vibes creates a sweet, immersive soundscape for fans to enjoy. Raisa has talked about collaborating with other Asian artists in the past and being well versed in RnB music. Thanks to his OST journey, Sam Kim seems like the perfect fit for Raisa’s new song.
