한국 가요계의 살아있는 전설 조용필이 월드스타 싸이의 “젠틀맨”의 독주를 제지하고 나섰다.
지난 화요일, 올해로 63세가 되는 조용필이 다음주에 공개되는 19집 앨범 “Hello” 발매에 앞서 “바운스”라는 곡을 선 공개했다. 이 신곡은 전 음악 차트의 상위 10위권 안에 들며 벅스뮤직과 소리바다 차트에서는 월드스타 싸이의 신곡을 누르고 1위를 차지하기도 했다.
지난 화요일, 올해로 63세가 되는 조용필이 다음주에 공개되는 19집 앨범 “Hello” 발매에 앞서 “바운스”라는 곡을 선 공개했다. 이 신곡은 전 음악 차트의 상위 10위권 안에 들며 벅스뮤직과 소리바다 차트에서는 월드스타 싸이의 신곡을 누르고 1위를 차지하기도 했다.
조용필은 이 곡에서 그는 “Baby you’re my trampoline, you make me bounce, bounce”라는 영어 코러스까지 넣으며 보다 세련되고 모던한 모습을 보여주었다.
1968년 미군들을 대상으로 한 컨트리 클럽 Atkins 에서 가수로 데뷔한 그는 1979년 락밴드 ‘김트리오’를 결성하고 1975년 발매된 ‘돌아와요 부산항에’를 통해 이름을 알리고 국민가수라는 자리에 오르게 됐다.
5년 뒤 “창 밖의 여자”를 발매하며 그 해 한국 가수로는 최초로 뉴욕 카네기홀에서 공연을 했다. 1994년에는 한국에서 최초로 천만 장의 앨범을 판매한 기록을 세웠다. 40여년 간의 가수 생활 동안 그는 2003년을 마지막으로 총 18장의 정규 앨범을 냈었다.
그의 19번째 정규앨범이 공개되는 오는 4월 23일, 서울 올림픽 공원에서 특별 쇼 케이스가 열릴 예정이다. 쇼 케이스는 네이버를 통해 저녁 8시부터 라이브 중계된다.
또한 그는 5월 31일부터 6월 2일까지 올림픽 체조 경기장에서 3번의 공연을 가진 뒤 새 앨범 홍보 차 해외 공연에 오를 예정이다. (코리아 헤럴드/번역 서혜림)

Legendary Cho Yong-pil bounces back after a decade
By Julie Jackson
The 63-year-old Cho Yong-pil has returned to the music scene with his first single in 10 years, titled “Bounce.” The track is a prerelease single from his upcoming 19th album “Hello,” which will be unveiled next week.
“Bounce,” released on Tuesday, was ranked in the top 10 on all the major local music singles charts, including Bugs and Soribada charts where it overtook Psy’s global hit “Gentleman” and claimed the No. 1 spot.
The versatile artist showed a completely different side of himself with his new release: a modern, upbeat bubble-pop track with the English chorus line, “Baby you’re my trampoline, you make me bounce, bounce.”
Cho first debuted as a musician in 1968 performing for the U.S. Army with his country band Atkins. Two years later he joined the rock ’n’ roll band Kim Trio, which inspired Cho to pursue rock music.
His first commercial single “Come Back to Busan Port” was released in 1975 and launched him into national fame. Five years later he released his first album titled “The Woman Outside the Window” and in the same year, he became the first Korean pop singer ever to perform at Carnegie Hall in New York City. In 1994, Cho became the first artist to sell 10 million album copies in Korea. Throughout his career spanning more than 40 years, Cho has released 18 full albums, the last one released in 2003.
Cho, who is being likened to the British singer David Bowie for his long-lasting power, versatility and a successful comeback album after a decade, will be performing a special premiere showcase at Seoul Olympic Park on April 23, the night his new album is to be revealed.
The showcase will be streamed live and can be viewed online through Naver starting at 8 p.m. local time. The rocker will also kick off his “Hello” nationwide tour with three concert performances in Seoul from May 31 to June 2 at the Gymnastics Stadium at Olympic Park.
