Title: Nabi Artist: Gou, Peggy / Ohhyuk Label: Gudu Product Type: 7-INCH SINGLE UPC: 5060913700775 Genre: Electronic Release Date: 2021-10-15 Number of Discs: 1
Peggy Gou returns with 'Nabi' - her first single in over two years and the follow up to 2019's global crossover, 'Starry Night'. 'Nabi' is an incredible piece of slow-burning, 98bpm electronic pop, inspired by 80s synth classics, the piano pieces of renowned composer Erik Satie and the 80s and 90s Korean songs Gou's mother used to play at home during her childhood. Showcasing a less familiar side of Gou's diverse sound and influences, it retains the hallmarks of her unique take on electronic music; at once both nostalgic and totally modern. 'Nabi' - which translates as 'Butterfly' - is also Gou's first ever vocal collaboration, as she teams up with fellow Korean sensation OHHYUK, the lead singer and guitarist in Hyukoh. It's set to build on the widespread acclaim for her 2020 production collaboration with Baltimore techno legend Maurice Fulton (on his 'Jigoo' release for Gudu), 'Nabi' is the first of two songs Peggy Gou will release over the coming months. While the forthcoming follow up is set to dial up the tempo, kicks, 808's and 909s to soundtrack a summer where we can all (hopefully) dance together in our thousands again, 'Nabi' is very much the sound of now - a lowkey anthem fuelled by feelings of hope, freedom and positivity for what's to come.
