Balming Tiger and Yaeji Collaborate on a Double-Single Release.

      From Seoul to New York...

      20 · 10 · 2025

      The progressive K-pop collective Balming Tiger and Seoul-based artist Yaeji collaborate on a new double single titled ‘wo ai ni / break it even’.

      This double single reflects over a year of creative collaboration between Seoul and New York, stemming from the mutual admiration shared by Yaeji and Balming Tiger. Both artists emphasized the significance of working directly together, valuing connection, communication, and shared experiences over mere efficiency.

      Their partnership blossomed through everyday moments, such as visiting Nakwon Instrument Arcade (the largest musical instrument exhibition complex in the world) and enjoying kimbap and noodles together.

      ‘wo ai ni’ conveys a message of pure, unfiltered love—a sentiment that crosses language and geographic boundaries. Balming Tiger and Yaeji elaborate on the simple phrase “I love you,” presenting it in various languages and dedicating the track to their fans.

      ‘break it even’ reflects on the essential role of human connection in achieving true understanding, with Yaeji singing, “In our communication, there’s a missing person; when we’re physical bodies, I see you more clearly.”

      The release includes a music video for ‘wo ai ni’, directed by Balming Tiger member Jan’ Qui and featuring footage submitted by fans—a first in the collective’s history to include fans in their visuals.

Olive Jones Brings Classic Soul Imagery to Life with ‘End Of Time’

London songwriter Olive Jones has released her impressive new single 'End Of Time'. The vocalist has been a prominent name in the UK music scene for quite some time now.

The versatile musician will embark on a tour for his new era starting this November. The artist WAYNE SNOW, originally from Nigeria but based in Brussels, has released his third album, ‘Snowdome’, under Curators. Building upon the groundwork established by the single ‘Fearless’, ‘Snowdome’ delves into the "tension between vulnerability and power, identity and imagination." The album features 10 tracks that fuse experimental soul, minimal pop, and unconventional electronics into a sound that is both personal and elevated. ‘Snowdome’ follows SNOW’s summer collaboration with the Amsterdam house duo ANOTR and 3DDY on ‘Hold On, Let Go’, which has received support from club and festival circuits by artists like Keinemusik, Jamie Jones, and Paul Woolford. This new album comes after SNOW's 2021 release ‘Figurine’ and his debut studio album ‘Freedom TV’, which was launched in 2017. SNOW will take ‘Snowdome’ to venues across Europe, Asia, and other regions this year, presenting a unique opportunity to experience the cinematic album live. He is set to perform at the Jazz Cafe on November 26th and at the Jam Jar in Bristol the following day. Additionally, the musician will appear alongside the legendary Jazzanova on select European and international dates.
