SLEEQ releases second full-length album, ‘LIFE MINUS F IS LIE’
SLEEQ of DAZE ALIVE has released her second full-length album, ‘LIFE MINUS F IS LIE‘ today, as well as the music video for one of the title tracks, ‘I LOVE U’.
The “one and only” SLEEQ has released her second full-length album today. Her first LP, ‘COLOSSUS’, was crowned The Most Underrated Album of the Year 2017 at the Korean Hiphop Awards. In her new LP, the artist processes all the difficult experiences she went through in the last two years. In the center of the album stands feminism (F), and both SLEEQ and Ryunghwa Kim’s identity as a feminist.
There are ten tracks, including the pre-released ‘Dance for You‘ and two CD-only tracks. SLEEQ received support from CJ Azit’s indie artist foundation ‘Tune Up’, through which she met jazz pianist MeariNam. Other featured artists include singer Dongwook Jin of rookie band DECADENT and singer-songwriter YESEO.
SLEEQ comments on the release (via Instagram), emphasizing her efforts to raise awareness about and abolish misogyny in the Korean culture, especially in hiphop music. She criticizes how Koreans are “going wild over Childish Gambino’s new song in which he criticizes racism in the US-American society, but continue to be quiet about the sexual discrimination in Korean society.” She further expresses her anger “with artists who base their music on discrimination and hate” who “deny [proper] ethics and justify crimes in the name of art” and states that she “would like to keep telling the stories that [she] think[s] are right.” “Even if this decision should be against the music industry’s logic, even if I have to do it in a way that is no longer hiphop […].”
You can find SLEEQ’s second LP on iTunes/Apple Music. Scroll down to watch the video of the title track ‘I LOVE U‘! SLEEQ also uploaded a “self commentary” video in which she watches the MV and reveals background stories of the filming (in Korean only).
