JEON SOMI DROPS NEW SINGLE "CLOSER" OFF HER BRAND NEW EP "CHAOTIC & CONFUSED" - OUT TODAY
August 11th, 2025 (Seoul, South Korea) -- THEBLACKLABEL’s flagship artist JEON SOMI unveils her powerful new single and music video for the title track ‘CLOSER,’ from her brand-new EP Chaotic & Confused, out today. Watch HERE and listen HERE.
‘CLOSER’ reimagines the classic ‘Beautiful Girls’ through the lens of Stutter House, blending a sensual mood with bursts of intensity and rising tension that pull the listener in. With its grand, polished production, the track becomes a true celebration of beauty. Visually striking and explosively dynamic, the music video mirrors this intensity, portraying JEON SOMI in scenes that shift between raw chaos and goddess-like elegance.
JEON SOMI’s 2nd EP Album [Chaotic & Confused] marks a pivotal moment in her artistic journey, capturing her growth through bold musical experimentation, transformative soundscapes, and heartfelt storytelling.
From the title track “CLOSER,” which experiments with a new genre called Stutter House, to “Escapade,” a stylish reinterpretation of post-punk, each song on the album offers something fresh and vibrant. The pre-release single “EXTRA” blends new disco and R&B, while “Chaotic & Confused” is a hybrid pop track marked by unpredictable transitions true to its name. Rounding out the EP is “DELU,” an emotional R&B number. Together, these tracks form a cohesive narrative of artistic self-discovery, told entirely through her own voice.
The various chaotic situations surrounding her—including the pressures of being an artist and the struggle with inner conflict—serve as central themes throughout the album. Lyrics like “My voice goes hoarse as I battle myself” are symbolic, capturing her journey of self-discovery through her internal struggles and the beauty that emerges from them. The album stands as both an honest confession and a reflection of a young, contemporary artist’s creative journey toward artistic evolution.
JEON SOMI, who contributed not only to songwriting and composition but also to the album’s visuals and performance direction, challenges herself creatively at every level. She showcases her multifaceted artistry, affirming her growth and transformation into a truly one-of-a-kind artist.
The album also credits TEDDY, Vince, Dominsuk, Jesse Bluu, Zikai, Johan Carlsson, Elvira Anderfjärd, Shae Jacobs, B.I, and Mudd the student as some of the Songwriters and Producers who contributed to this project.
