Sep 9, 2021Before I Die firmly establishes Hye Jin’s multifaceted sound and crafts a mood that feels very of the moment.
-
Sep 10, 2021Hye Jin refines her sound, pulling from trap and boom-bap, not to mention dubstep and techno, to turn out a coming of age hip-house album. Before I Die is the clearest artistic vision we've heard from Hye Jin.

MojoSep 21, 2021A lugubrious but fresh, genre-bending take on modern club music. [Nov 2021, p.91]

Sep 14, 2021A fairly unique record that shape-shifts through electronic tones all while giving us a clear view of her inner monologue.
