YAEJI Shares New Single ‘Done (Let’s Get It)’

Today, Yaeji returns to share the second single and music video ‘Done (Let’s Get It)’ from her upcoming debut album With A Hammer, out April 7th on XL Recordings / Remote Control.

On Yaeji’s latest single she reflects on the patterns, modes of thought and traumas we inherit from our ancestors, taking on the mission of smashing these inter-generational cycles as a path toward healing herself and the world. Accompanied by a music video directed and edited by Yaeji, ‘Done (Let’s Get It)‘ stars Yaeji alongside her grandpa dressed as bunny dogs and was shot in Seoul, South Korea earlier this year. “Let’s get it done / I want it done” Yaeji demands, questioning what’s taking us so long to free ourselves from the past, and beckoning us to do just that.

Last month Yaeji shared the details of her debut album With A Hammer, alongside the album’s first single and music video ‘For Granted,’ to which the New York Times noted was “certainly promising,” with Hypebeast exclaiming of the artists return: “Yaeji is a one-of-a-kind talent in the realm of house and experimental pop music.”

Yaeji’s introspective, genre-pushing tracks have made her a global icon occupying a space all her own. After breaking out with her 2017 debut EPs that featured singles ‘Raingurl‘ and ‘Drink I’m Sippin On,’ Yaeji featured on Charli XCX’s 2019 album Charli, produced remixes for Dua Lipa, and Robyn, collaborated with the beloved Seoul-based polymath OHHYUK for stand-alone singles ‘29‘ and ‘Year to Year‘, headlined her own shows and festival stages around the world, and launched her bespoke lifestyle webstore JI-MART.

About Yaeji:
After breaking out with her 2017 debut EPs that featured singles ‘Raingurl‘ and ‘Drink I’m Sippin On,’ Yaeji featured on Charli XCX’s 2019 album Charli, produced remixes for Dua Lipa and Robyn, collaborated with the beloved Seoul-based polymath OHHYUK for stand-alone singles ‘29‘ and ‘Year To Year‘, headlined her own and festival stages around the world, and launched her bespoke lifestyle webstore JI-MART. Born in Flushing, Queens in 1993, she has roots in Seoul, Tokyo, Atlanta, and New York City, all serving as the backdrop for her singular, hybrid-sound that synthesizes influences of Korean indie rock and electronica, late ‘90s and early 2000s hip hop and R&B, and leftfield bass and techno. With her critically-acclaimed 2020 mixtape WHAT WE DREW 우리가 그려왔던, she sharpened her vision as a musician who is creatively unbounded by language and geography, leading to collaborations with timeless entities such as PAC-MAN. Named by Pitchfork as one of the “25 Artists Shaping the Future of Music” in 2022, she’s also graced the cover of Crack, The FADER, MixMag, and Burdock, among others, and has been featured in programming at the V&A Museum, Serpentine Gallery, and MoMA PS1. Her highly anticipated debut album, With A Hammer, sees Yaeji excavating her inner world with full force, smashing everything in order to build it back up into the true visions of her dreams.
