She was definitely my bias in 9muses and I was sad when she left. But she still supports their group activities and seems sooo much happier doing her own thing. Can't wait for the album.

She was my Nine Muses bias too and when she left it broke my heart into the tiniest of pieces ):
1
brb running through the halls of my building screaming "SERA SOLO SERA SOLO SERA SOLOOOOOOOOOOOOO"
this is the BEST news, I am so so so proud of her and cannot wait for the album to come out...this is what I've hoped for her ever since she left 9M (even before then, tbh) and I'm so happy!
23
So this is what being blessed truly means

I fucking love Sera. Personality and beauty on top of talent. One of my favorite idols of all time. When she left 9M it was a sad day for kpop. I was hoping she would launch a solo career at least, though I'm more intro groups than solo acts, but I still wanted more Sera. Unfortunately, now that it's here, I'm not feeling any hype, just worry. Her youtube adventures so far have been massively disappointing. Dull and amateurish in my opinion. So far from my cup of tea that I can't even consider it liquid. Hopefully she will prove me wrong. Hopefully her youtube adventures aren't at all indicative of her song writing talent, or hopefully she'll have recruited the song writing and producing talent needed to make some awesome songs.
Barring all of that, I still hope she's successful, even if she doesn't cater to me. The heroine of the 9 Muses documentary definitely deserves it.

THIS.
I completely agree. Her covers and songs on YouTube have been second rate, and it's no wonder a label isn't picking her up (other than the reality that she's a woman who is considered too old for that sexist and ageist industry, and untouchable after leaving SE, because nobody wants damaged goods in music)(A girl who couldn't handle the abuse from her label and left instead of being treated like a piece of shit? We don't want that. We can't make someone like that sleep with managers and investors at our whim!). Without the backing of a major label, her production will be crap, her promotion will be veritably unnoticed (forget music shows, the politics alone will render her persona non grata), and she won't ascend to anything more than your typical open-mic night singer.
She deserves so much better than this, but sadly, she won't get it unless she changes professions. There's way too much working against her.
13
The best we can do is support her by buying her music and hope she can afford to do better. She isn't under an agency so I assume she is doing all of this by herself.

wow, that second part was unexpected. I don't know what to say anymore

I'm hoping her youtube works are free for the same reason a lot of people release free eps/mixtapes: it was her messing around/trying new things and liked the song, but didn't think it was good enough to be an album song.
If she actually got a studio engineer to tweak levels/add some perspective/production some of those songs would actually be pretty decent album songs (no singles, mind... but still)

Oh?! So she is going to return to the music industry without the backing of a record label or talent agency? I suppose this will be great for her since there won't be anyone to dictate her activities and what music she can produce. But most importantly, she is finally doing what she loves most, and that is producing music and being an actual singer. You can see that she truly has a passion for music and singing through the songs uploaded on to her YouTube channel. I really hope the best for her :)

I just hope it's good. I don't want her failing.
Definitely gonna have to put other purchases off, if this has a physical I'd bet it'll be a limited release.
12
Yup it is limited.
6
Yeah thank you then, definitely gonna have try to buy that before S/S and others from this summer.
7
My heart feels so warm
11
I'm so exited. I want her to succed
10
Aw, that's such a cute and clever title! Looking forward to it. She has a lovely voice and she's been doing well on her youtube channel since she left 9Muses.
9
Too bad she left nine muses. She was such an asset.

Finally!! This is going to be amazing!

YESSSSSS!!

I'm so happy that she's still continuing her musical career; she was hands-down my favorite idol. This will definitely be good.

Can't believe she passed up on the chance to spell the album 'Seranade'

Yesss! How's she paying for this though. Curious if she'll do any music shows too. Either way I'm excited.
