Since the launch of the Samsung Galaxy S2 in 2011, when “Over the Horizon” was first debuted, Samsung has collaborated with several artists to reimagine its musical theme and create a signature sound that motivates people to challenge their limits. Globally known for his record producing ability, SUGA is the first artist to remix the song twice on top of producing a tune for the new editions of the Galaxy foldables.

SUGA’s goal when working on the ‘Over the Horizon 2022 Produced by SUGA of BTS’ was to encourage people to look forward to a bright future and think about what excitement is waiting ‘over the horizon.’ Subsequently, the new remix is all about positivity and brightness, and was composed so that when people hear it, they feel hopeful and upbeat.

From its origins as a rock-themed ringtone, the updated versions have put a variety of unique spins on the original theme, including new age, orchestral pop, fusion jazz and even a Nordic orchestra inspired spin. Much like the Galaxy ecosystem, “Over the Horizon” is constantly being updated to reflect what is happening in the world, and the partnerships forged with artists invited to remix the theme reflect the spirit of openness and collaboration that underline the Galaxy philosophy.

As excitement builds for the launch of the new Galaxy foldables, Samsung is delighted to invite SUGA to return to the mixing desk to create an all-new version and music video for ‘Over the Horizon 2022 Produced by SUGA of BTS.’

In addition, ‘Over the Horizon 2022 Produced by SUGA of BTS’ will be available as a ringtone through an upcoming software update on Galaxy devices.^*

For the release of the Galaxy S22, Samsung has gone even further. For the first time, “Over the Horizon” is debuting alongside an animated film, blending the artistic expression of both a world-renowned musician and a visual artist to capture the feelings of today. The latest version, themed “New World,” breathes new life into a post-pandemic world reimagined through jazztronica music and heartfelt illustrations.

LA-based musician Kiefer Shackleford is a pianist and producer known for his cross-genre, hip-hop-influenced aesthetic and jazzy electronic sound.

“’Over the Horizon’ was a genuinely enjoyable experience for me,” said Shackleford. “A great roster of musicians has been a part of the Samsung Galaxy signature ringtone, which gave me the impression that Samsung is looking for some solid music, not just any other ringtone. You have a five to ten-second opportunity to bring a spark to everyone’s day, and I hope this hopeful, optimistic and wistful melody does the trick.”

Bringing Shackleford’s music to the screen are illustrations from fellow Grammy-nominated artist and producer Phil Beaudreau. His sketches draw viewers into a familiar world that has shaken off the dust of the pandemic. His warm, silhouetted characters evoke nostalgia for a time when we were free to interact and smile freely, as people dribble basketballs, run through parks and connect without fear. All of this plays out in front of an animated Shackleford and his piano, his jazzy chords bringing the whole scene to life.

The 2022 version of “Over the Horizon” envisions a world where we emerge from the pandemic better than we were before — remembering what we’ve learned, reaching out for new connections and ready to rebuild. Paired with the new Galaxy S22 devices, it’s a powerful message. While the Galaxy S22 gives you the power and freedom to shape your world, the latest take on “Over the Horizon” encourages us to make that world our best one yet.
