I Hear You is the upcoming debut album by South Korean DJ and singer Peggy Gou, scheduled for release on 7 June 2024 through XL Recordings. It includes the singles "I Go", "(It Goes Like) Nanana", "I Believe in Love Again" with Lenny Kravitz, and "1+1=11". The album will also include a collaboration with Villano Antillano.[1]
Background and themes[edit]
Gou called I Hear You "more than just [her] debut album" as she felt it "embodies countless hours of dedication in [her] journey to create something timeless".[2] The album was influenced by 1990s house music.[3]
Gou released "1+1=11" as a single alongside the album's announcement in April 2024, which is intended to represent the album's running theme of "togetherness".[4] Gou collaborated with Icelandic–Danish artist Olafur Eliasson on the video for "1+1=11", and he also designed the angled mirrors she wears around her ears on the cover art, and contributed his poem "Your Planet Seen from Within" to the first track, "Your Art".[5]
Singles[edit]
The album includes Gou's 2021 single "I Go", as well as her most successful track, 2023's "(It Goes Like) Nanana". In addition to also including her collaboration with Lenny Kravitz, "I Believe in Love Again", Gou issued the intended lead single,[5] "1+1=11", in April 2024.[2]
