Yaeji has unveiled a brand-new music video for her latest track, “Easy Breezy,” and it’s a delightful ride through the streets of Brooklyn with none other than Yaeji herself and her trusty canine companion, Jiji, on a scooter adventure. But this song is more than just a catchy tune; it’s a heartfelt homage to Yaeji’s musical roots, drawing inspiration from her Japanese and Korean music upbringing.
In her own words, Yaeji describes “Easy Breezy” as a sequel that weaves a narrative thread through her previous releases, connecting her past with her present. She beautifully incorporates snippets of lyrics from her previous songs, offering a glimpse into the evolution of her music and her journey of self-discovery.
“Learning to let go,” a lesson she gleaned from “For Granted,” sets the tone for this introspective track. The line, “진정한 변화는 (true change) it’s not so easy, it’s not so breezy,” hails from “Submerge FM,” underscoring the idea that genuine transformation is anything but effortless. Yaeji opens up about her personal experiences, sharing, “한장 한장 기록으로 채운 나의 20대의 일기장을 펼쳐서 (I opened up my diary filled with memories of my 20s)” from “I’ll Remember for you, I’ll Remember for Me.” It’s a glimpse into the diary of her twenties, filled with nostalgia and introspection.
As the song progresses, Yaeji touches upon the relentless march of time with the lyric, “시간이란게 점점더 빨라지며 (time keeps moving faster and faster),” from “29.” This reflection on the fleeting nature of time is a universal sentiment that resonates with many. And she doesn’t shy away from addressing the passing down of unwanted legacies, stating, “isn’t it so crazy how we pass down what we didn’t want to,” from “Done (Let’s Get It).”
Sonically, “Easy Breezy” bridges the gap between Yaeji’s current self and her middle school years when she first discovered the enchanting world of bossa nova, drum and bass, and house music through Korean and Japanese pop electronica. It serves as a musical thread that pays homage to her memories while encouraging change, courage, and laughter.
Yaeji’s message is clear: change is within our grasp, and we should never doubt our ability to effect it. “Easy Breezy” is more than just a song; it’s a testament to Yaeji’s musical evolution and a reminder that we all have the power to embrace change and move forward with determination and joy. So, as you watch the video below, take a moment to appreciate the journey and the melodies that have shaped Yaeji’s artistic soul.
