Jihae's voice is melancholic but defiant. At times cynical, but always resolute. Her hypnotic rhythms are seductive and her lyrics, subversively sentimental and knowing. The dynamics of her music carry each story and poem into a dreamworld, featuring daring arrangements on voice, guitar, cello, viola, bass, synth, drums, percussion and programmed beats. Jihae is the unique yet familiar sound of now
Following the success of her critically praised debut LP, My Heart is an Elephant, Jihae is back!! Afterthought, Jihae's newest release, is an EP comprised of four remixed songs that appear on My Heart is an Elephant as well as the brand new single "Simple Man." Afterthought, an exclusively digital release, was released June 12.
"A delicate, soulful hybrid of many styles, Jihae's debut album My Heart is an Elephant betrays an unmistakably sophisticated arrangement sensibility at work, which Jihae applies to the songs in confident, subtle strokes."
- New York Press
"The shimmering and sultry release weaves together Nico's lush longing with Fiona Apple's ferocity and self-awareness." - Venuszine
"Creative genius may be the perfect way to explain it all. Jihae's music has an original and brutally honest edge. It is almost as if each musical component, from her luring voice and unparalleled musical composition, to her lyrics which probe the internal intellect, have all simultaneously found each other to form this union of artistic venture." - Trace Magazine
"A croon with this kind of husky, lusty depth does its own PR. Surely drawn to vocals that cross Chrissie Hynde with Aimee Mann. Filmmaker Michel Gondry got in on this Jihae album. The result is a tidy sonic twist under a singer/songwriter's spirit." - Download.com
