Tiffany Young -- who just turned 30 last August 1 -- showed that her talent and beauty is far from waning with the release of her newest single called “Magnetic Moon.”
The hooking lo-fi pop tune dropped midnight after her birthday, aptly capping off a celebration with a musical track that showcases not only her glamorous vocals but also her songwriting and composing chops.
Together with her collaborators Kwaye, Viktoria Hansen, and Kev Nish, Young birthed to a song about two people who harbor strong emotions for each other. As metaphoric as this piece is, the singer-songwriter revealed in a statement that she actually has a special connection with the moon.
“Some of my best writing and recording sessions are in the latest hours looking up at the moon,” the 30-year-old star shared.
Apart from taking the helm on conceptualizing the song and bringing it to life, Young also took charge in the creative direction of its equally stunning music video. In the “Magnetic Moon” visuals, she worked with designer Kim He Kim to offer the audience a stellar experience laced with captivating moon-inspired imageries and alluring choreographies.
“There’s a special creative energy [that the moon] brings out of me, [and] I wanted to capture [it] in the music video,” she explained.
Ahead of the release of her newest offering, Young and the members of Girls’ Generation -- the legendary girl group that launched her career in the K-pop music scene and beyond -- made the rounds online when they reunited for her 30th birthday celebration.
Girls’ Generation first debuted in 2007, and is responsible for many globally-known hits like “Gee,” “Genie,” and “I Got A Boy.” The K-pop outfit is celebrating their 12th anniversary on August 5.
While she’s still part of the group, Young left their agency SM Entertainment in 2017 and pursued a solo career in the United States.
The California-born artist dropped her EP “Lips on Lips” -- her first US release -- in February 2019. Earlier this year, she also won the “Best Solo Breakout” award from the iHeart Radio Music Awards.
In an interview with Yonhap News, she said that “felt that [she] was being rewarded for [her] determination [to make a solo debut in the United States]” through the recognition.
Young was in Korea for “Open Hearts Eve,” her first concert in the country in three years.
Meanwhile, she will be heading back to the US for her “Magnetic Moon” North American Tour slated to commence on October 25 in San Francisco. The extensive one-month concert series will take her to key areas including Vancouver, Seattle, Toronto, Boston, Houston, and Los Angeles among others.
