Today, artist, producer, DJ and cultural trailblazer Peggy Gou announces details of her long-awaited debut album. One of the most hotly-anticipated debut records in recent years, I Hear You will be released on 7th June via XL Recordings / Remote Control.
The ten track album is the culmination of years of work for the Korean-born artist, who’s uniquely revered as both an underground icon and global sensation, sticking by her own unwavering vision to become one of the most in-demand electronic music artists and DJs in the world. Featuring previous singles, the 2023 chart-topping global hit ‘(It Goes Like) Nanana’ and her Lenny Kravitz collaboration ‘I Believe in Love Again’, the LP sees Gou stepping into the next level of her artistry and boldly claiming her voice through the kaleidoscopic lens of ‘90s house music.
Talking about I Hear You, Peggy Gou says “I Hear You is more than just my debut album. It embodies countless hours of dedication in my journey to create something timeless, and is a testament to the power of listening, to ourselves and to each other.”
To celebrate news of the album, Peggy Gou today releases a new single ‘1+1=11’, a festival-sized anthem that signifies “togetherness” and is set to unify dance-floors around the world. ‘1+1=11’ is accompanied by the first-ever music video from acclaimed Icelandic-Danish artist, and Gou’s longtime friend, Olafur Eliasson.
Meanwhile, 2024 is set to be a huge year in the live arena for Peggy Gou. Having played to over a million people in 2023 (including Australian stops at Wildlands and Beyond The Valley festivals), she already has high-profile appearances lined up at the likes of the Glastonbury, Coachella and Primavera festivals.
