Get ready to vibe, because Jacqui’s latest single, ‘fries, bb’, is out now via Beeline Records. Born in South Korea, raised in China and in the U.S., and now spending most of her time back in South Korea, this neo-soul firecracker has been making waves since her 2022 debut EP, Birthday, stacked over 500,000 Spotify streams. Her journey’s been wild—rocking SXSW Sydney, opening for slchld, and owning Bangkok Music City earlier this year. Right now, she’s lighting up UK stages at Focus Wales and The Great Escape Festival in Brighton. Her voice has already popped off on Netflix’s My Holo Love with ‘White Clouds’ and Amazon Prime’s BUTTERFLY with ‘Sagwa’. Drawing from Erykah Badu, Jacqui weaves raw feels and playful vibes, serving a sound that’s got FKA Twigs and Mahalia energy but is 100% her own.
‘fries, bb’ is a slick, R&B-drenched bop that flexes Jacqui’s sharp lyricism and lush production. Her smooth-as-velvet vocals slide over a cheeky, polished beat, mixing flirty swagger with a fearless edge. It’s the kind of track that feels like a 2 a.m. diner sesh, oozing longing and effortless cool, pulling you deep into Jacqui’s world with every note.
Jacqui spills the tea on the track: “‘fries, bb’ takes place in a late-night burger shop, ordering things when I am not even hungry, just because I want to spend more time with this person next to me. Still, no moves are made and then it’s me saying “just so you know, I am into you.” I focused on creating a straight-forward and aggressive (in a cute way!) sound that penetrates the whole song which matches with the message I am carrying in this song. So that is why you will hear different types of distortion on my voice and the instruments.”
With ‘fries, bb’, Jacqui’s proving she’s a neo-soul powerhouse, dropping a track that’s as addictive as a late-night munchies run.
