South Korean singer-songwriter and producer Dept and Brazilian artist IVYSON are joining forces for a collaboration presented in English and Portuguese. Their English-language release, “We Talk,” arrives on Oct 14, 2026, followed by its Portuguese-language Brazilian counterpart, “Lembra,” on Oct 22, 2026.
Dept has connected with Filipino listeners through songs such as “Strawberry Champagne” and “Green.” His smooth, polished melodies and lyrics about love and everyday life have helped him build a following in the Philippines and beyond. His connection with local fans also extends to the stage, including his “Dream Age Tour 2025” concert in Manila.
His international collaborations include work with American artist Ashley Alisha, Thai singer NONT TANONT and Vietnamese singer Hoàng Dũng. This latest project brings that spirit of musical exchange to Brazil through his collaboration with IVYSON, pairing Dept’s emotional R&B and indie-pop approach with a new creative partnership across languages.
The lyrics of “We Talk” explore the quiet distance between two people trying to talk about love. Images of neon light, rain and hesitant conversation create an intimate, reflective mood, with the recurring question at the heart of the song expressing the uncertainty of a fragile connection.
The collaboration extended beyond the recording process. During Dept’s visit to Brazil, the two artists met in person to film the project’s music video, bringing their musical exchange into a shared visual production on location.
