'Room With A View' is set for release on 22 May via Universal Music Group Korea

The release of the five-track EP marks the beginning of a global partnership with Universal Music Group Korea, which will see Yiruma’s works being released by the music company – where he first began his recording career almost 20 years ago.

The newly written pieces are inspired by the season of Spring. The music itself speaks of a personal, familiar and comfortable place, and the perspective of looking out from it through an imaginative window. The title track, Room with a View, weaves warm melodies that offer a feeling of being alone in a Spring morning sun-lit room.

Little Richard, the rock and roll trailblazer known for his electrifying stage presence and lively piano skills, has died. He was 87.

Kelvin Holly, a longtime member of the musician's band, shared a touching tribute on social media. "Rest in peace Richard. This one really stings. My thoughts and prayers go out to all of my bandmates and fans all over the world. Richard truly was the king!"

Musicians, actors and artists across a range of genres are paying tribute to Little Richard.

The self-proclaimed architect of rock 'n' roll died on Saturday from a cause related to bone cancer, Dick Alen, his former agent, told CNN. He was 87.

Hits like "Tutti Frutti" and "Long Tall Sally," combined with a pounding piano, pompadour hairdo, makeup and dazzling stage antics turned Little Richard into an American music legend and paved the way for other greats, including Mick Jagger and Prince.
