Piano torch singers don't come much more tender than Ran, a vocalist who makes gliding melodies and intensely poignant balladry. Full of intimacy and floaty calm, the songwriter—real name Jung Hyeon-sun—specialises in songs that are gentle and breathy but pack a firm emotional punch, pulling on heartstrings as acoustic guitarists and drummers accompany her enchanting voice. Whether backed by a simple pianist or a full orchestra, her towering talent soars above it all.
