4Minute Drops Spastic, Skrillex-Produced 'Hate': Listen
Last week, we learned that Skrillex was getting into the K-pop game by collaborating with girl group 4Minute, and we now have their new track in it all its thunderous, EDM-adjacent glory.
"Hate" essentially sounds like five different songs all smashed together: From Gayoon's torch-ballad opening to the melancholy hip-hop verses and the booming dance breakdown that wouldn't sound out of place on a Jack Ü record, "Hate" is like a dare to figure out how many sounds can blend together and still sound cohesive. The song's strongest moment comes in the emotional pre-chorus sections handled by Sohyun and Gayoon.
