Korean-American dance music sensation SOHMI has released her new Recital EP on Permission / Thrive Music.

Rounding out the final chapter of SOHMI’s anticipated Recital EP, the titular track is an edgy dance-pop cut filled with sultry vocal accents and entrancing celestial tones. Through a transportive, ethereal soundscape, SOHMI showcases a harmonious blend of her self-pioneered ‘minimal pop-tech’ genre.

As a whole, Recital represents SOHMI’s most personal project to date, touching on themes of escapism and metamorphism. Marking her debut 4-track EP, Recital is a testament to SOHMI’s transcendence as a multi-talented singer, producer, instrumentalist, and DJ. Recital features SOHMI’s previous singles ‘Missin U‘, ‘Only One‘, and ‘Somebody‘ and arrives ahead of her return to Coachella for this year’s Do LaB stage. 

Regarding the track, SOHMI said, “I wanted to end the EP with something really different, and take the listener outside the expected club-structured fare and instead into something that simply feels and sounds like a dream. ‘Recital’, the track, is the soundtrack to all the many daydreams I’ve had over the course of my childhood and life, which were always about becoming some kind of performer for as long as I can remember. While I’m singing over nearly the entire track, there are no real lyrics, just freestyled humming, as one might while daydreaming about becoming something and somebody bigger than themselves in an alternate version of life. Then when the EP starts over again, you find yourself there. You begin at ‘Somebody’.”

Along with the EP, SOHMI has shared an intimate trailer video capturing the essence of the project. Offering an autobiographical look into SOHMI’s life, the trailer watches her transition from a classically trained pianist into the poised electronic musician fans have come to know and love. The visual accompaniment acts as an extension of SOHMI’s musical narrative, indulging the literal and metaphorical motifs around personal growth and acceptance that are strung throughout the EP.
