Jisoo Lim teams up with international choreographer Jay Kim for a cover of Lewis Capaldi's 2019 hit, "Someone You Loved."
Uploaded on the Kreaon Plus YouTube channel last March 13, the two artists performed their respective halves of the cover version in separate locations, woven seamlessly to result in a heart-rending performance. Lim Jisoo is shown solemnly singing in an empty room fitted with only a white curtain and a ribbon mic, with the Korean singer appearing almost like a silhouette. On the other hand, Jay Kim is shown performing on a well-lit stage with contrastingly dark background at the Studio Carre in Seoul, South Korea.
Jisoo sings in a vocal quality that is quite difficult to find nowadays, reminiscent of Adele's voice, delivering a newfound sensitivity to the Lewis Capaldi hit. In between fading transitions, Jay Kim brings the longing and the hurt of the 2019 song in both his actions and facial expressions.
Halfway through the performance video, both artists are shown together at the Studio Carre setup - with Jay Kim dancing around Lim Jisoo who effortlessly belts the last chorus. Interestingly, the vocalist and the choreographer create two equal halves that come together at the last part to deliver how it feels "getting used to being someone [you] loved."
