Raised in Seoul, Korean singer, songwriter, rapper, house and techno dj 박혜진… Read Full Bio ↴Raised in Seoul, Korean singer, songwriter, rapper, house and techno dj 박혜진 (park hye jin) blends elements of dream-state house, raw hip-hop & psychedelic darkwave and mixes her own English and Korean vocals over dreamy synths & thick beats for a forward-thinking dancefloor experience.

A resident DJ at Seoul’s Pistil Dance Club, with broadcast performances on Korean independent radio SCR, Park exploded into view in January 2019 with her late-’18 debut EP IF U WANT IT. The five-track EP with breakout tracks I Don't Care and ABC finds Park singing duets with herself in both Korean & English over leftfield soundscapes, thunderous 4/4 beats & smoky digital piano lines, and has sparked popular interest in the emergence of "k-house" as a potential cross-over form of electronic music, while also introducing the voice of new underground sensation. How Can I followed in 2020 on Ninja Tune, as she relocated to Los Angeles.

Her first full LP came in September 2021: Before I Die featured Let's Sing Let's Dance.

Regards of hesitant assertions
Losing out on what is certain
Pale blue inside my eyelids
Yeah, yeah
Pedal faster just to keep up
Your bestie told you he's a keeper
But you've been shootin' for the ether
Yeah, uh

How do you feel? How do you feel?
Late night riding just to feel safe
Safer when you're on the highway
Headphones on although it ain't safe
You don't care 'cause it's your getaway
Breaking through and making headway
Smelling gasoline and old brakes
"Room on fire", looping all day
Hands on the stick and your eyes closed
Breathe and exhale for the first time
Time to change out of your old clothes
When was the last time that you cried?
(Yeah)

How do you feel? How do you feel?
How do you feel? How do you feel? (Hey)

I've been racing when my head feels light
Hiding on the streets, holding out to meet
I've been racing when my head feels light
Hiding on the streets, holding out to meet

The color symbolism of "pale blue inside my eyelids" suggests a feeling of sadness or melancholy.

The song also delves into the concept of escape and finding solace in the act of driving. The lyrics describe late-night rides on the highway, where the singer feels safer and uses music as a means of escape, even if it may not be a completely safe choice. The mention of "smelling gasoline and old brakes" adds to the sensory experience of the journey. It is a transformative experience for the singer, symbolized by changing out of old clothes and embracing new beginnings.

The repeated question of "How do you feel?" suggests a contemplative state of mind, challenging the listener to reflect on their own emotions and experiences. The lyrics in Korean towards the end of the song, "내 전화를 받지마, 내 걱정은 하지마," can be translated as "Don't answer my call, don't worry about me." This line reinforces the theme of self-discovery and the need for personal space and time for reflection.

Overall, "CALL ME" is a song that explores the complexities of emotions, the desire for escape, and the journey towards finding oneself.

I've been racing when my mind feels weightless

Concealing on the streets, waiting to meet
