KPop Demon Hunters\u2019 music<\/a> comes from the mind of Ejae, who also provides the singing voice for Rumi, the lead singer of the movie\u2019s titular girl group. As such, there are demos for every song in the film with Ejae singing just about every part. This includes songs like \u201cYour Idol,\u201d which Rumi doesn\u2019t perform at all in the finished film, so when we get to hear these demos, it\u2019s like listening to an alternate version of the movie in which the girls of Huntr\/x were the demons singing songs to capture the hearts and minds of the masses.<\/p>\n

Ejae has played snippets of the demo version of \u201cYour Idol\u201d before, but this is the first time we\u2019ve heard this much of it. The singer\/songwriter was part of an event<\/a> where she and co-songwriter Mark Sonnenblick talked about the making of KPop Demon Hunters\u2019 soundtrack and played a couple of demos for the audience. This included the Grammy-nominated \u201cGolden\u201d and the original \u201cYour Idol\u201d recording, which has some different lyrics than those heard in the film. Even if it only includes the first verse, it\u2019s really cool to hear Rumi\u2019s voice singing a Saja Boys<\/a> song. I\u2019d take an EP of the Saja Boys singing Huntr\/x songs and vice versa, but I\u2019d settle for full releases of Ejae\u2019s original demos as bonus tracks.\u00a0<\/p>\n

KPop Demon Hunters\u2019 soundtrack did get a Deluxe Edition release, but its new additions are mostly just acapella and instrumental tracks. If Taylor Swift can release dozens of versions of her albums, what\u2019s the harm in Netflix and Sony putting out another version of the soundtrack that includes these old demos?<\/p>\n

For now, Ejae seems to be gearing up for her own solo debut after the success of the film. She released her first single, \u201cIn Another World,\u201d<\/a> last month, and will hopefully be writing songs for the upcoming KPop Demon Hunters sequel<\/a> in the near future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"KPop Demon Hunters\u2019 music comes from the mind of Ejae, who also provides the singing voice for Rumi,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":142661,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[146,85,46,1729,409],"class_list":["post-142660","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-music","tag-entertainment","tag-il","tag-israel","tag-kpop-demon-hunters","tag-music"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/142660","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=142660"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/142660\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/142661"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=142660"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=142660"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=142660"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
