"A delicate, soulful hybrid of many styles, Jihae's debut album My Heart is an Elephant betrays an unmistakably sophisticated arrangement sensibility at work, which Jihae applies to the songs in confident, subtle strokes." - New York Press"The shimmering and sultry release weaves together Nico's lush longing with Fiona Apple's ferocity and self-awareness." - Venuszine
"Bold sonically and just bold, always surprising -- strong willed and always in charge of the intelligent thread -- extremely detailed and extremely intimate and yet distant..." - Richard Kroehling, writer/director
"Enthralling new album, boasting production work by Brent Arnold and Patrick McCarthy, and guest appearances by filmmaker Michel Gondry and Lenny Kravitz, shows a confident singer who is equally ethereal and down-to-earth." - Baebel Music
Trace Magazine Review by Stephanie Morris:
Jihae's My Heart is an Elephant debut album serves up Mazzy Star meets Nina Simone dream pop sound. Jihae's music is packed with enough emotion to cover every realm of today's musical genres and has a dynamic all its won, mixing ups and downs, taking listeners on a musical journey to the very depths of their own minds.
Her love of the arts and collaborations with multifaceted and multimedia artists, allows the singer to transcend expectations, giving her music an original and brutally honest edge. It is almost as if each musical component, from her luring voice and unparalleled musical composition, to her lyrics which probe the internal intellect, have all simultaneously found each other to form this union of artistic venture.
With songs such as "Faint," which inspires listeners to take a nostalgic look into their own lives, her affinity for abstract composition is obvious. There is no set harmonic level or musical report, it all just seems to flow. In fact, the only mainstay in her music is pure emotional release. Creative genius may just be the perfect way to explain it all.
