What struck you about [minwee]?

The music, her singing, and the lyrics. I had listened to thousands of pieces of music before but the first time I heard ‘The boy with the aubergine hair’ I heard atmosphere for the first time. I could hear spaces and intervals before but now I understood rising intensities and mood. There’s a pensive, uncertain strain in the song. Before the beats start there’s a nervous anticipation or waiting. It’s as if you’re taking small, uncertain steps before you really venture out. Something unsure awaits you. Just like us, really.
