On her new track “booboo,” Yaeji comes again raging. Sensitively. The NYC-via-Seoul producer made her title in 2017 on late-night club-pop tracks like “raingurl” and “Really feel It Out” that, in just some years, went from cool-kid get together cuts to omnipresent summer season staples. However the success of the previous track left her, if not outright alienated, no less than a bit of looking out: “With the overwhelming consideration that got here from ‘raingurl,’ I took a break from clubbing, dance music, and the underground scene,” she mentioned in an announcement. Previously few years, she’s dabbled in membership music, but in addition off-kilter hip-hop spotlighting Brooklyn’s indie rap scene, plush art-pop, and a collab with Korean indie rock musician OHHYUK.
Yaeji’s new single “booboo,” although, feels prefer it was recorded straight from the decks at your greatest buddy’s birthday. A rubbery Jersey membership observe that implores you to “dance and shake your booty from the left to the precise,” “booboo” is surgical-grade get together gasoline, rapidly ratcheting up in velocity and depth over its all-too-brief runtime. It’s not a rejection of Yaeji’s time away from the membership: Midway by “booboo,” she samples the hook of “raingurl,” turning the entire thing into a bit of canny meta-commentary. “You understand the one time I wrote a banger that goes like/‘Make it raingurl make it’?” she muses, “You understand that I wasn’t actually prepared on the time.” Nothing however dry eyes in Yaeji’s membership: It is a celebration of rising up and rising into areas you won’t have actually slot in earlier than. And shaking your ass, after all.
