How interesting. Despite DJing for over a decade Peggy Gou has never dropped a full length LP. She brings good news for the fans announcing to finally change that with her debut album named “I Hear You“. Paired with the announcement she drops her newest single “1+1=11” paired with a music video directed and starring friend and artist; Olafur Eliasson.
When asked about the video Olafur had this to say.
Dance is transformative! It bends and reshapes our relationship with time and space. When I was a teenager, breakdancing changed my life. I was into popping, moving like a robot, and doing the electric boogie. Street dance enabled me to explore the space of my body in relation to the world around me. I came to realise that by moving, I could change space. I could change what I saw and what I sensed. And these experiences actually proved foundational for my later artistic work.
Sculpture and dance are both non-verbal languages. Sometimes in order to communicate, you simply have to move. That’s what happened when I first met Peggy. We were having lunch, talking about our shared interests in psychosonics, rhythm, and movement, and to show her the moves I was talking about, I stood up in the restaurant to dance. I was thrilled that she later asked me to dance on video for one of her upcoming releases and to develop the visual language for it. By bringing together dance—embodied exploration of space—with colourful shadows, lights, and mirrors, I was able to bring some of the key interests that have long shaped my art into an entirely new context. Working together has been rewarding and a lot of fun!“I Hear You is more than just my debut album,” Peggy Gou says during a press release. “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.”
The project will feature her collaboration with Lenny Kravitz “I Believe in Love Again” and singles“I Go” and “(It Goes Like) Nanana“.
