ARMYs these days are warmly welcoming SUGA's return with the D-Day album filled with emotions through each track. SUGA's solo album this time has a great meaning, marking his official debut as a solo artist and also ending the process of the Agust D and D-2 series.
In addition to SUGA's return in an emotional and powerful version, fans also realize that in his album this time there is also a reunion with a girl who collaborated with BTS for 5 years ago. ARMYs are extremely excited by this female artist's voice and touched to realize that their friendship is still close even though the two are no longer in the same company.
Here is the identity of the female artist who collaborated with SUGA in his SDL and Life Goes On:
Warming up for the comeback with “People Pt.2” featuring IU two weeks ago, on April 21, SUGA officially released solo album “D-DAY”. Coming to the album "D-DAY", listeners seem to be immersed in the musical personality when he personally participates in the composition and ideas for all the songs.
With this album release, SUGA successfully closed a long-term music project with a trio of products including "D-DAY" and two previously released personal mixtape "Agust D" and "D- 2". SUGA also mentioned that this could be the end of the journey where SUGA released music under the stage name Agust D.
Meanwhile, “D-DAY” has a total of 10 tracks including the title track “Haegeum” with the companionship of many artists and producers that SUGA directly works with. Those are still familiar names such as the exclusive producers of HYBE - El Capitxn and Pdogg, BLVSH, Chris James, IU, RM and j-hope...
After only 1 day of release, SUGA's solo album has also achieved the achievement of selling millions of copies, conquering listeners all over the world. One of the things that attracts fans to the songs on D-Day probably comes from SUGA's good coordination with other vocalists. While j-hope brings boldness and destruction in “HUH?!” – j-hope, IU and Woo Sung delivered an emotional vocal after SUGA rapping in “People Pt.2” and “Snooze”…
But besides that, the most notable is the female voice tone in “SDL” and “Life Goes On”, which fans love so much, although this girl’s voice is not mentioned explicitly in the tracklist, fans still recognize her flexibility, vibration and sweet sound like many years ago when she collaborated with BTS.
The girl mentioned here is the female artist Adora, who worked as an exclusive producer of Bł₲ Ⱨł₮ Music until 2021. Adora has now debuted as a female artist. and there are certain successes for this new path. However, for ARMY, all cannot forget the female producer who spent 5 years working behind the scenes to produce for BTS.
Adora has been working with BTS for 5 years since 2016 with a series of h̾i̾t ̾s like Spring Day, 'Not Today', 'Outro: Wings', 'Euphoria', 'Love Maze', SUGA's Seesaw, Jin's Epiphany... Not only did she perform the role of producer, but she also performed backing vocals to help these songs reach the highest melodic harmony. However, in 2021, Adora ended her contract with вιg нιт Music and, of course, did not work with BTS for the past 3 years until she featured in SUGA's SDL and Life Goes On again.
It is known that Adora went through a period of struggle with illness in 2019, when she was diagnosed with thyroid cαncєr. She had to put things on hold in her 20s, and dealing with thyroid cαncєr changed Adora's life a lot. It involved pushing her to fulfill her dream of becoming an artist – her unfinished dream so she wouldn't have any regrets.
Even so, when she debuted as a rookie, the shadow of BTS was too big for her to overcome. She was labeled "BTS's producer" to the point that many people didn't even know that she debuted as a solo artist. That used to make her feel pressured and worried that she wouldn't show her worth.
She also felt sad when many people thought that she relied on BTS's reputation to debut. Adora also expressed that when she first debuted, she was also afraid that she would affect BTS, but the great experience of working with such hard-working and kind artists as BTS made her know that she has to try harder to overcome prejudices and achieve certain successes.
Now, although she and BTS no longer work in the same company, they still have a good relationship. And that's the reason for her comeback and reunited with SUGA in SDL and Life Goes On after 3 years of not working together. Adora's name is also mentioned in the list of artists who worked with SUGA on D-Day.
Previously, in an interview in the last year of 2021, Adora mentioned that SUGA contacted her after a long time. Maybe it's time to start this collaboration! At the time, Adora also expressed that she was touched by his contact and agreed to join the project immediately.
She mentioned that at first SUGA reached out and complimented her cover of “Spring Day” on Artistock. She said: "Because he cheered me on, as the original artist, I was a bit…I thought that I should have dine better, I remember being a bit shy and very grateful". Then, there was another reason why Suga had reached out to her. ADORA revealed that he made a request for her to work on somєthing with him. Even though she doesn’t know what the exact project is, SUGA wanted her to help him with a chorus: "I don’t know what kind of song it is yet, it was just to check on my condition, to see if I could do it. SO I said that I can do anything."
Meanwhile, when D-Day was released, Adora also confirmed to fans that she had appeared in SUGA's SDL and Life Goes On on Instagram Story. This makes ARMYs love and express their excitement to once again hear Adora harmonizing in BTS's song!
