Review: Global dance music superstar Peggy Gou comes back with a second super summer single that is widely infused with her own distinctive influences. Chiefly, that is a love of 90's dance anthems, which was rekindled in her during downtime during the pandemic. Released via her own Gudu Records, 'I Go' is a catchy, singable bit of throwback dance-pop with her own vocals front and centre. The old school beats and bass will get any party pumped, with the synth work looks to the cosmos and explores a very different vibe to her previous single. An instrumental and acappella are also included on this lovely 12".
Review: Still basking in the warm after-glow of her chart-bothering debut album, the XL Recordings-released explosion of dancefloor colour that is I Hear You, Peggy Gou returns home to Gudu, the label she established six years ago, with a typically loved-up and peak-time ready single. In keeping with her work in recent years, 'Find The Way' is simultaneously nostalgic and on-trend, with Gou adding her distinctive vocals to a retro-futurist house jam rich in colourful synth sounds, tactile Korg-M1 organ riffs, snappy drums and mazy solos. The quality and kaleidoscopic nature of the backing track comes to the fore on the accompanying instrumental take. Both versions sound like crossover anthems in waiting.
Review: Following up last year's production with Baltimore techno legend Maurice Fulton on 'Jigoo', the next release on Gudu is the first of two songs by label boss Peggy Gou that she will release over the coming months. Her first single in over two years, it translates to 'Butterfly' and is another collaboration. This time with fellow Korean sensation OHHYUK who is the lead singer and guitarist in the band Hyukoh. 'Nabi' is a downtempo, pop-inflected number said to be inspired by '80s synth classics and '90s Korean songs that Gou's mother used to play at home during her childhood.
