Yaeji amplifies the energy on new single ‘booboo’.
The electronic figure took a step back from the club space, exploring other aspects of her art in the process. The NYC-via-Seoul artist, producer, singer-songwriter, and DJ impressed on last year’s full length ‘With A Hammer’, a feast of glorious innovation.
New single ‘booboo’ is out now on XL Recordings, and it’s Yaeji’s first dose of new music in a year. A triumphant return to club energy, it’s a dynamic electronic thriller, retaining her world-building finesse but making it more physical.
Previewed during a recent Boiler Room set, it’s an anthem-in-waiting – catch Yaeji at Field Day this weekend.
She comments…
i think with anything – a little breathing room, a little break – distance makes the heart grow fonder. with the overpowering attention that came from raingurl, i took a break from clubbing, dance music, and the underground scene, but in that time away from it all, it’s allowed me to gain new perspective and a deeper appreciation for it. this year is the 10-year mark for many of the parties my friends and i used to go to, so ‘booboo’ coming out now feels like full circle moment. and with my closest friends—who i’ve witnessed grow as DJs and start their own labels, throwing parties & having fun, all while creating a radical and safe space, it’s been so fun being their cheerleader and now rejoining them in the club, front right!
Tune in now.
