Michelle Zauner shares the 'sage rock advice' Karen O gave her that changed her life
As a teenager, Japanese Breakfast's Michelle Zauner looked up to Karen O of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs not only as a female musician who knew how to rock a stage, but as a fellow half-Korean American woman. "She was everything that any Korean mother tells you not to be," Zauner tells Q 's Tom Power in a recent interview. "That was so exciting for me and a big reason why I think I felt the courage I did to start playing music." In 2022, the Japanese Breakfast frontwoman got the chance to meet her hero when she opened for the Yeah Yeah Yeahs at Forest Hills Stadium in New York and later at L.A.'s Hollywood Bowl. The timing couldn't have been better for Zauner, who was desperately in need of a female role model who could help guide her through some big career changes. WATCH | Michelle Zauner's full interview with Tom Power: Just a year earlier, in 2021, Japanese Breakfast found massive critical acclaim for their breakthrough album, Jubilee, which received two Grammy nominations. Zauner's debut book, Crying In H Mart: A Memoir, also became a surprise New York Times bestseller. But all of that attention came at the cost of Zauner's mental and physical health. In her conversation with Power, she recalls feeling burnt out and scared about the new expectations she felt she'd have to live up to — so she took a break and moved to Seoul for a year to regroup. "I didn't realize how much stress and pressure can manifest in the body," she says. "I thought I was struggling with some kind of illness, but then when I went to Korea for a year, all of that kind of reset and I realized how all of that was just mental, which was pretty wild." The biggest takeaway from our conversations is not to be afraid to say no. - Michelle Zauner By the time Zauner met O, she was feeling much more grounded, but she was grappling with how to balance her career as a touring musician with her desire to start a family. She says O was able to give her some "sage rock advice" about the power of a single word: "no." "I think the biggest takeaway from our conversations is not to be afraid to say no," Zauner says. "She's so, so creative and no one is ever not going to wait around for her to do something, you know? So that was her big piece of advice: the power of no. And I think that was really hard for me as someone who came from a DIY background … because I said yes to everything." Watch or listen to the full interview with Zauner to hear about her new chapter and new album, For Melancholy Brunettes (& Sad Women), which is out now.

BIBI releases sophomore album ‘EVE: ROMANCE' with philosophical edge
South Korean singer BIBI arrives for the red carpet of the MAMA Awards in Osaka, western Japan, Nov. 23, 2024. (AP Photo/Hiro Komae), File) SEOUL, South Korea — South Korean artist BIBI released her highly anticipated sophomore album 'EVE: ROMANCE' on Wednesday, delivering a project that blends her signature genre-defying sound with philosophical twists. The singer, songwriter and actor, who moves fluidly between pop, R&B, hip-hop and electronic music, has built a reputation for her bold, unapologetic presence in an industry often defined by careful image management. Her latest album features 14 tracks, including six new songs alongside previously released hits like 'Bam Yang Gang' and 'Derre.' In an interview with The Associated Press, BIBI explained the meaning behind the album's lead single 'Apocalypse,' which carries a more poetic Korean title meaning 'The Apple Tree of the End Times.' 'I thought, if there was the fruit of knowledge of good and evil at the beginning, then this would be the apple tree at the end of times,' BIBI said. 'You know that saying — when asked what you'd do if the world ended tomorrow, some say they'd plant an apple tree, others say they'd have an orgy. ... But to me, they felt like the same thing. Both are, in essence, acts of planting seeds.' Her interpretation, merging ideas of creation, pleasure, and existential finality, may come across as provocative in a conservative South Korean society where open discussions about sex remain rare and often taboo. 'In reality, everything has an end, and what each person chooses to do in that moment is their own,' she added. 'It can't be labeled as good or bad. After all, isn't the very idea of good and evil ambiguous?' One of Korea's fastest-rising stars with a growing international presence, BIBI reflected on the surprising success of 'Bam Yang Gang.' The song, which means a chestnut jelly snack in Korean, became a viral sensation in South Korea last year while she was too busy to notice. 'I was filming two dramas simultaneously, so I was really busy,' she said. 'I couldn't really feel it at that time. Actually, I felt it more this year because people introduce me saying, 'Last year was the year of Bam Yang Gang.'' Despite her growing popularity, BIBI aspires to maintain an element of 'ambiguity' in her artistry. 'I want to be a mysterious artist. Like 'Gacha!' — that kind of feeling. Like you don't know what you'll get from a Gacha machine,' she explained, referencing the Japanese toy vending machines known for their randomized collectibles. The album includes 'Pygma girl,' a track that reimagines the Greek myth of Pygmalion by reversing traditional muse-artist dynamics, suggesting the subject is the art itself rather than merely inspiring the creator. 'Midnight Cruise,' another standout track, was written after she dreamt about her late grandfather before her Coachella performance in 2024. BIBI will kick off her first global tour in Seoul on May 16, before heading to the United States and Canada. She will then continue across Asia, with stops including Hong Kong and cities in Japan. The tour will conclude in Australia and New Zealand this October. 'EVE: ROMANCE' is out now. Juwon Park, The Associated Press
