Yaeji released her new highly anticipated debut album “With A Hammer.” This album is a diaristic ode to self-exploration, facing one’s own emotions and the transformation that is possible if a person is brave enough to do so.
She also released a new single to accompany her new album called ‘Passed Me By.’ This song will enchant you with a hypnotizing hook and trip-hop drums reminiscent of the early work of 90s K-pop pioneer Seo Taiji.
In ‘Passed Me By’, Yaeji addresses her younger self: “Do you remember your childhood?” she asks in Korean before switching to English: “Do you know that that person is still / Inside you waiting for you to realize it?”
