Kai Punnipa Jirasak, a legendary artist known for her timeless hit “Red Rose,” officially announces her return to the music industry after more than 32 years at the press event "Dance-Eat, Dance-Eat, Fun Fever" held at 65 HABITS, Sukhumvit 101/1. During over a year working behind the scenes, she has prepared to release over one hundred new songs, covering Thai music, newly composed international songs, world classical pieces, and ballroom dance music.
The event’s highlight was Kai Punnipa’s dazzling tango dance performance alongside 10 ballroom dance couples to the song “Red Rose Tango.” She also announced four major new projects showcasing her diverse artistic identity:
* THE WOMAN BEHIND THE ROSE (Flagship Project): A new English-language album featuring 13 songs selected from over 35 originals, inspired by her real-life experiences. The project involves British songwriters and recordings with live musicians in the UK. They are also accepting proposals for film or short film adaptations.
* NO.1: A new Thai album with 13 songs, marking a reunion after 30 years with Porpoj Antanai. It debuted with the single and music video “Don’t Do This” (IT'S TOO LATE).
* BALLROOM DREAMS: A major project comprising 112 songs under the concept "Return the Floor to the Heart," creating easy-to-listen-to and truly danceable ballroom tracks (Waltz, Tango, Cha-Cha-Cha, etc.). Forty songs are completed, with an open call for demos from new songwriters to develop the remaining 72 songs.
* THE BEST OF PUBLIC DOMAIN: Reinterpretations of 40 world-class classical international songs such as Scarborough Fair, Shenandoah, and Danny Boy, delivered through her distinctive voice.
Nova Records, a new label led by CEO Porpoj Antanai, revealed its direction as a Music & Creative Entertainment Platform. Porpoj emphasized that collaborating with Kai Punnipa is not about revisiting the past but about bringing her experience and enduring value to create fresh works that connect with listeners of all ages.
Meanwhile, Dr. Parin Singhnat, Chairman of Nova Group Holdings Co., Ltd., stated the company’s aim to build a Creative & Technology Ecosystem linking music, AI, creative activities, and music therapy. Kai Punnipa has taken on the key role of Music Therapy Development Manager to help drive music therapy projects within Nova Group Holdings. Plans are also underway to expand creative spaces through the Nova District project at Imperial World Samrong to support long-term community activities.
This event was also supported by Kanlayakorn Chaijinda, executive of Phra Khanong Culture and 65 HABITS, who is dedicated to providing a welcoming space for people of all generations to engage with music and arts activities in a friendly atmosphere.
Fans of Kai Punnipa and those interested can soon follow new single releases, ballroom soundtracks, and various Nova Records activities through the label’s online channels.
