It’s been over a year since HEIZE’s last release, HAPPEN. The mini-album marked her first project under new label P NATION; suffice to say, the label suits her well, as her newest full album Undo is simply decadent.

“Undo,” the title track of the album of the same name, sees HEIZE return to her groovier roots; the breakup track sounds like it could have come straight off the tracklist of her 2016 EP And July. Don’t be deceived by the dance beat or hints of disco, though—”Undo” is indeed a sad song at its core. In the track, HEIZE bitterly sings of how she has given up on her relationship, and the dance beat further serves to prove that she truly could not care less for the love that has left her behind.

The music video for “Undo” takes place in a 24-hour convenience store, creating a liminal space as HEIZE dances up and down the empty aisles. Neon colors and flashing lights are present in a majority of the shots, adding to the city pop feel of the retro song, and creating a dazzling display out of a rather desolate setting much like the song itself.

Like many of her releases, Undo is an album filled with guest stars, and this starts from the get-go with george on the second track on the album, “Sad ending.” The song has a soft bossa nova feel to it, with george’s relaxed vocals adding an extra comforting touch in the second verse. GIRIBOY is featured on the next track, “I Don’t Lie,” and his melodic rapping suits the whimsical sound of the song only too easily. Minnie of (G)I-DLE joins HEIZE in “Thief,” a track that pulls from ‘90s pop influences, and the pull of the song is easily the way their voices complement each other. “Distance” is an easy standout on the album, and not just because it stars I.M from MONSTA X, though he certainly helps. Fans have seen HEIZE duet with many of her K-R&B contemporaries over the years, but I.M’s tone sounds particularly beautiful against HEIZE’s signature raspy vocals.

The second half of the album has HEIZE return to the spotlight, starting off with the acoustic ballad “Love is alone.” “Real LOVE” takes things even further into ballad territory, with HEIZE accompanied by piano and beautiful swelling strings that make the song sound like it belongs on a movie soundtrack. “SUPERCAR” revisits a more acoustic vibe, adding to the overall melancholy tone of Undo. “Traveler” feels a little off-kilter as a song thanks to its music box sound, lilting rhythm, and unexpected chord progressions. The album comes to a close with “About Time,” an instrumental-only outro in 3/4 time that feels like the final credits to a movie with a sequel on the horizon.

Check out the video for “Undo” below and prepare to get your groove on in the saddest of ways.
