Yaeji shares video for new single, 'Passed Me By': Watch
It comes ahead of the release of her debut album, 'With A Hammer', later this week
Yaeji has released a brand new song, 'Passed Me By'.
Lifted from her debut album, 'With A Hammer', which will be released this Friday, 7th April, the track comes backed by a video that sees Yaeji address her younger self. You can watch the visual below.
Speaking to Zane Lowe on his Apple Music show about 'Passed Me By', Yaeji said the track "musically came together really fast and that's usually how my workflow goes. First came the bass that you hear in the intro. I wrote the bass and wrote the words somewhat simultaneously which was unusual for me I think, and since there was no beat and I didn't use a metronome, there's a really weird swing that happens in that intro.
"I think it liberated me to create a weird song because I wasn't locked to any grade from the start and I think 'Passed Me By' is the first time I felt like I had expressed something I couldn't in either Korean or English through sonics, through music."
'With A Hammer' combines the electronic music with which Yaeji has come to be associated with influences of Korean indie rock and pop from the '90s and early 2000s. It features guest contributions from Loraine James, K Wata, Enayet and Nourished By Time, and will be released via XL.
Yaeji previously shared the album cuts 'For Granted' and 'Done (Let's Do It)'.
