Seiji Oh continues to redefine what it means to release music in today’s fast-paced streaming era with his latest single “For Real”, the eighth track from his ambitious THE LIFE ALBUM project.
Growing up across Europe, Japan, and Africa — far from his native Korea — Seiji turned to music as a way to navigate the constant upheaval of moving and starting over. For him, music wasn’t just background noise but a lifeline, a way to make sense of a world that kept shifting under his feet. That deep relationship with music, especially with full albums as cohesive works of art, still shapes how he creates today.
In a time when singles and playlists dominate, Seiji stands firm in his belief that music should be a journey — like reading a novel or watching a film. THE LIFE ALBUM is his answer to this fast-flowing culture: a 12-track album released one song at a time, in album order, allowing listeners to experience the full arc of his story as it unfolds.
“For Real” lands as a pivotal moment in this journey. Carrying forward themes and emotions built up in previous tracks, it blends Seiji’s signature introspection with a vibe that feels both raw and polished — a reflection of someone grappling with life’s complexities, but doing so on their own terms.
For those following the album’s flow, “For Real” adds another essential piece to the emotional and musical narrative Seiji is crafting — a reminder that even in a world obsessed with the next hit, some artists are still telling real, unfolding stories.
