Jazz Vocalist Stacey Kent Returns to Korea for Concert... Nobel Prize-Winning Author Participated in Lyric Writing

Jazz vocalist Stacey Kent, known for her poetic lyrics and delicate, warm music, is returning to Korea for a concert after three years.

The upcoming concerts, scheduled for November 19 – 20 at the LG Art Center Seoul and the HD Hyundai Arts Center in Ulsan, are being held to celebrate the release of her new album A Time for Love, her first in three years.

Stacey Kent sold over 2 million copies with her 2003 album The Boy Next Door, and topped the French jazz charts in 2023 with her album Summer Me, Winter Me.

In particular, the song "I Wish I Could Go Travelling Again," for which Nobel Prize-winning author Kazuo Ishiguro participated in writing the lyrics, drew attention from jazz fans after being selected as the only jazz track on former U.S. President Barack Obama's "2025 Favorite Music" list.

Author Ishiguro has consistently written lyrics for Stacey Kent's songs, having participated in a total of 16 tracks, including unreleased songs.
