Album Review: 박혜진 Park Hye Jin - Before I Die

“Where How Can I should have seen her set off on an even larger victory lap, the pandemic obviously had other ideas. Instead, Hye Jin was left isolated in LA with nothing much to do except work on her full-length debut, which now arrives under the name Before I Die. From title on down, there’s almost no separating Before I Die from the situation in which it was created. While the hefty beats of How Can I remain, the dreamier elements of IF U WANT IT also return, as well as a new finesse that balances the two – culminating in a record that harnesses isolation but yearns for connection.”

The debut full-length from the LA based Korean producer 박혜진 Park Hye Jin is an intriguing one. My full review is on Beats Per Minute.
