Jessi is a Rockstar in New Comeback, “What Type Of X”

After the massive viral success of her track “눈누난나 (Nunu Nana)” and her interview series in 2020, Jessi is finally back with a new single, “What Type Of X.” The new track is very different from her previous hits in terms of sound, but still conjures up the same level of fierceness and boldness that she is known for. The track is a pop-rock anthem about self-confidence and self-expression. Co-written by Jessi herself, “What Type of X” is a bold statement about being proud of being different. Through the lyrics, Jessi wants her haters to not judge her actions because they don’t know her life

The track’s music video features Jessi performing on a massive chess board with her dancers dressed up as knights. Jessi once again brings back several statement fashion moments. Throughout the music video, she makes clever references to the lyrics of the song which in turn contain references to her viral success in 2020.  

Jessi’s mainstream popularity has grown exponentially over the past year thanks to her variety show Jessi's Showterview, where she has interviewed major K-Pop stars including Sunmi, Tiffany Young, SHINee’s Minho, and many more. Her label P NATION has effectively utilized her new found popularity into promoting Jessi’s music, which translated into her massive global viral success. With “What Type of X,” Jessi grows as an artist in every aspect and shares a new side of herself musically. Watch the powerful music video for the song below.
