reasons why you should stan SAAY, one of the best soloists of this generation, if you haven’t already: a thread
SAAY, born kwon sohee, is a korean r&b soloist under universal music. she was the former leader of the girl group evol until 2015. she began to release solo music in 2017, starting with the bop single THE ZONE
SAAY ranks within the top 10 female idols with the most KOMCA copywrites songs, meaning she’s written a huge portion of her own music, and in a remarkably brief period of time
her songs have an extremely addictive energy and style, like ZGZG, which she cowrote and produced. it’s been praised as “a work of pop scholarship, a knowledge-driven flex that works because of SAAY’s wise choice to not let any element control the track.”
she’s not just an amazing live vocalist and songwriter, but also an expressive and hard working dancer! her choreos like this one for “encore” are enjoyable to watch
her full album CLAASIC is a work of art, co-produced by saay and deez- who is well renowed for working with red velvet, taemin, and other sm artists. the two worked together to create a melodically strong, moody, and lyrical music story https://open.spotify.com/album/5KL4s0DShFK5oz3zKy9zmP?si=f75GGElFSMal4QNYcZA2BA
i started this thread with an example of her beautiful live vocals, but i’m constantly falling in love with how amazing she sounds in her studio versions as well! this song “stay” has such a powerful combination of her real vocal layered with rich harmonies
momentary break from her music to promo her instagram @ saayworld where she posts some of the hottest baddie pics
and her twitter too also at @SAAYworld where she posts pics vids and has the CUTEST interactions with her fans, who are called SLAAYERS
she is an absolute angel with her fans, saay gets really involved in slaayer selca day and is consistently hyping her fans up, encouraging them and preaching self love 


saay is a wonderful human being. she is also extremely generous, having donated 5k in the past for the australian wildfire relief effort. and she is also a vocal ally to the lgbt community

i love how so much of her music is also conceptually deep, covering the darkness of the human condition while at the same time being comforting. her latest single, winter follows such a storyline
i love her range from performing very high energy choreo’d tracks like ZGZG to sexier and cooler songs like SWEATY (ft. crush)
love how much effort she puts into interacting with international fans especially, she tweets all the time in english and includes subtitles on so many mvs. there are also interludes on her album entirely in english that really pull at your heartstrings like “TIME ENERGY & LOVE”
so yes, i am very much in love with saay and you should be too! she’s planning on releasing her next album this year... please dive deep into her music and support her!! https://open.spotify.com/artist/2pvCf5g7XBReiPIvcq7W18?si=XJvi5CmfRvKcVTTgngzEAQ
i think i’ll keep adding things to this thread as i please... one thing I always love is learning a technical breakdown of music, so this vid of classical musicians reacting to ZGZG is really great watch to appreciate the songs production!
**correction to the first tweet i meant to say bop ** EP** the zone, not single T___T
anyways check out her live stage of zgzg
anyways check out her live stage of zgzg
she also has a new OST out right now, her vocals are so beautiful in a pure ballad style!! https://twitter.com/saayworld/status/1237415236488974336?s=21 https://twitter.com/SAAYworld/status/1237415236488974336
here she goes blowing up on twitter for being insanely gorgeous and photogenic https://twitter.com/saayworld/status/1246088089165901824?s=21 https://twitter.com/saayworld/status/1246088089165901824
this is literally just so funny to me that i had to include it
she has tiktok now and you can enjoy so many wild videos such as this one where she says the word motherfucking several times
she eats cd’s for breakfast
going off the last post, she wanted to meet and provide comfort for fans during the pandemic so she hosted a home concert just for slaayers on ig live :’) you can watch the full thing here
the next few tweets are going to be clips from her mini documentary saaygram, i really recommend watching the full thing if you’re interested in getting to know her as an artist
I just think she is so down to earth and humble, and also at the same time intensely dedicated and passionate about being an artist people will enjoy
watching her work in her studio and explain her process behind creating music for her albums is honestly hypnotizing to me. she spends so much time journaling, sketching, thinking deeply about emotion to show through her concepts
saay has been a choreographer and group leader since high school. she started out in a dance group, then after she did the same in her girl group, evol. now she does it all on her own, and has proven to herself and loved ones she has what it takes to follow her dreams.
going to leave this thread for now with our environmentalist queen
