Lee Hi Gives Update on Upcoming Album, Talks Love of H.E.R. & Classic R&B at SXSW
Among the many musical treats offered by SXSW 2018, Lee Hi's first-ever performance in the United States was a huge one with the K-pop songbird's husky vocals livening up the crowd as one of the final performers at the 2018 Korea Spotlight showcase. Despite the singer's last release coming via 2016's Seoulite, the 21-year-old delivered a fully rounded set that covered some of her chart-topping hits, but seemed to focus more on her recent hip-hop- and R&B-heavy collaborations that have dropped more recently. Speaking to Fuse backstage at the show, the singer-songwriter shared an update on her upcoming LP, her '90s musical influences and a message to the fans waiting for more.
