Albums of the Year 2024 - Number 38

Highly anticipated debut record of South Korean DJ Peggy Gou. PG takes us back to the 90s by scratching the surface of alternative and trip-hop staples. Tracks like Back To One and Purple Horizon feel like they've been pulled straight from albums like Debut by Björk, or Blue Lines by Massive Attack. This deeply satisfies the native Bristolian in me, and was not something I expected from the Berlin-based DJ, whose hits have been akin to European House throughout her career. However, there are still plenty of summery tracks to go around (such as I Go) for the casual listener, cementing Gou's on-going reputation as a club classic. - Erika, Rough Trade Bristol | Albums of the Year So Far 2024

Artist, producer, DJ and cultural trailblazer Peggy Gou releases her long-awaited debut album. One of the most hotly-anticipated debut records in recent years, I Hear You is released via XL Recordings. 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.”
