'Home': Ailee Gets Trap-y and Vulnerable for New Single & Video

Ailee has solidified herself in K-pop as the diva you can depend on for a Beyoncé-esque R&B ballad or banger, but the New Jersey–bred singer is changing things up with a powerful new single.

From the opening notes, "Home" indicates a new Ailee is upon us as woozy, trap beats back the 27-year-old's pleads for a lost lover. Our girl's strong vocals are as present as ever, but they're a little subdued, a little sexier, and boasting a little more melancholy as she declares "I'm coming home / I'll run to you / I'm coming home" before lamenting "but now I'm all alone." Classic rapper Yoonmirae drops in for a memorable verse, making for an awesome American-born-Korean-stars collab.

Aside from the sonic shift, Ailee is also pivoting on her typical song subjects as most of her singles are about empowerment and leaving a wack dude behind ("Mind Your Own Business," "Don't Touch Me," "Singing Got Better," to name a few). Here, Ailee here is showing her vulnerable side which works to stunning results.
