가수 제이미가 첫 EP 앨범으로 돌아왔다.
5일 오후 6시 각종 음원사이트를 통해 제이미의 첫 번째 EP ‘One Bad Night’(원 배드 나이트)가 발매되었다.
첫 EP ‘One Bad Night’은 제이미가 지난 2월 발매한 영어 싱글 ‘Pity Party’(피티 파티) 이후 약 8개월 만에 공개하는 신보로, 타이틀곡 ‘3D Woman’을 비롯해 ‘GIRLS’, ‘In My Bag’, ‘Bedtime Story (feat. GEMINI)’, ‘Honesty (0822)’ 총 5곡이 수록됐다.
제이미는 타이틀곡 ‘3D Woman’과 ‘Bedtime Story (feat. GEMINI)’, ‘Honesty (0822)’ 작사와 작곡에 직접 참여, 한층 짙어진 프로듀싱 역량을 선보일 전망이다.
이번 타이틀곡 ‘3D Woman’은 강렬한 비트 위 톡 쏘는 듯한 리듬, 그리고 트렌디함을 음악에 녹여냈으며, 제이미의 과감함이 돋보이는 멜로디 라인 구성으로 리스너들에게 짜릿함을 선사한다. 듣는 순간 마치 클럽에 와있는 듯한 전율을 안기는가 하면, 짜릿한 일탈을 즐기는 매혹적이고 사랑스러운 ‘악녀’를 떠올리게 만든다.
치명적인 유혹 속으로 대중을 초대할 제이미는 앞서 티저 이미지와 영상을 통해 더욱 화려해진 비주얼을 자랑했다. 제이미는 금발 변신에 이어 자신만이 소화할 수 있는 과감한 노출 패션으로 화제를 불러 모았다.
머리부터 발끝까지 ‘섹시 힙걸’의 모습을 보여준 제이미가 걸크러시하면서 매혹적인, 과감하지만 빠져들 수밖에 없는 콘셉트로 돌아온 만큼, 그는 눈과 귀를 매료시키며 제이미만의 ‘밤’을 리스너들과 함께 보낼 전망이다.

Korean Singer-Songwriter JAMIE Releases “One Bad Night” EP and Colorful Music Video “3D Woman”
South Korean singer and songwriter, JAMIE, has released her EP, “One Bad Night,” along with a bubbling music video for focus track “3D Woman.” This body of work marks her first EP in over four years since jiminxjamie and is available on all digital streaming platforms via Warner Music Korea.
In the focus track of the EP, “3D Woman,” JAMIE’s strong vocals are layered over a trap infused beat to deliver an unforgettable audio-sensory moment. JAMIE has taken off her girl-next-door persona of the past and emerged as a much more edgy and mature woman for this track, with lyrics like, “They watch me when I’m walking but they listen when I’m talking.” She’s an empowered woman who knows herself and gets what she wants, and this catchy hook and rhythm are a power move that will have you singing and dancing along to her beat.
Right out the gate, JAMIE throws us into the club with a contagious first track, “GIRLS.” With a heavy and consistent bass pounding away, this opening number sets the tone for the entire EP: “Girls just want to have fun. Girls just want to get drunk.” With steady choruses and a spirited verse with cadence and flow that perfectly match the beat, “GIRLS” is an exciting track perfect for a night that has barely begun, with fun that’ll never seem to end.
The third track continues this lively, party energy with “In My Bag.” What immediately jumps out from this track is the extremely rhythmic beat. By taking the tempo down a notch, JAMIE’s carefree lyrics and spunky, almost aggressive delivery give off the perfect attitude of a woman who doesn’t have time to care tonight. She’s got her bag, and whether or not you have yours isn’t her problem.
Track four is a turning point in the EP, and although softer and slower than the first three tracks, “Bedtime Story” still brings its own unique vibe and energy. This track takes on a more R&B mood, allowing JAMIE’s impressive vocals to really shine through. Featured artist, GEMINI’s buttery verse is the cherry on top to this groovier, late-night ride. Overall, we get a subtle, layered bass line that meshes with JAMIE’s captivating singing and smooth lyrics to capture the yearning we all feel for that special someone.
The EP ends on a much more solemn note with its track “Honesty.” The soft piano and guitar instrumentals paired with JAMIE’s beautiful vocal performance create a sobering wakeup call after the alcoholic bender that was the rest of this EP. Despite the raw emotional depth this track centralizes on, it serves as a comforting end to “One Bad Night.” Providing a much needed (and deserved) sense of closure, this final track fully showcases JAMIE’s maturity and range as an artist.
Paired with the EP is a psychedelic music video for its title track “3D Woman.” The scene begins with pulling up to an exclusive warehouse-turned-nightclub and are thrown into a picture of debauchery: bleached blondes, leather, pole-dancing, drinks, and heavy, heavy jewelry. One simply can’t help but stare at this hedonistic scene where good girls turn bad, and boys are seduced and tossed aside. You might get a kiss, you might not, but JAMIE won’t kiss and tell, that's for certain.
“One Bad Night” EP Tracklist:
1. GIRLS
2. 3D Woman
3. In My Bag
4. Bedtime Story (feat. GEMINI)
5. Honesty (0822)
As a globally recognized artist, JAMIE has been releasing her handful of hit songs over the last few years, and she’s grown into one of the most featured artists hailing from Korea. In early 2021, JAMIE was included in the remix of American hip-hop artists Saweetie and Doja Cat’s “Best Friend” alongside South Korean-Japanese rapper CHANMINA, garnering over 13 million plays on Spotify. Other notable global collaborations include “Family” by David Guetta, Ty Dolla $ign and A Boogie Wit da Hoodie, and Numbers with CHANGMO which have all dominated the charts on its release. JAMIE has built an unparalleled repertoire, showcasing her chameleonic musical abilities and maturity in EPs like the coming-of-age “19 to 20”, the genre-hopping “jiminxjamie” and the soon-to-be-released new body of work is destined to be a standout once again. With buoyant, charismatic, mischievous charms, and inimitable vocal talent, which can be seen in her first English single “Pity Party”. The critically acclaimed singer-songwriter continues to enchant her growing international fanbase (under Warner Music Korea), as she currently boasts 1.6 million followers on Instagram and millions of streams on multiple platforms.
