just Min Unveils ‘Molten’, a Stirring Debut EP Born from Loss, Betrayal, and Becoming
There are records that speak — and then there are records that bleed. Molten, the debut EP from Korean-born artist and producer just Min, belongs to the latter. A searing chronicle of grief, heartbreak, and emotional rebirth, Molten doesn’t just tell a story—it immerses you in the raw, unraveling process of transformation.
Written in the shadow of immense personal turmoil—the passing of his grandmother, the suicide of a close friend, and a deeply personal betrayal—Molten captures a young artist wrestling with the weight of life’s heaviest truths. At just 19, just Min found himself with more pain than answers, and turned to music not for escape, but for survival.
Raised between Seoul and Hong Kong, just Min’s music lives in the in-between: between cities, cultures, languages, and the versions of ourselves we shed as we grow. His sonic palette draws from indie, bedroom pop, and soul-baring songwriting, evoking artists like Joji, Keshi, and Daniel Caesar while carving out a voice distinctly his own. It’s music for the late-night overthinkers, the quiet feelers, the ones still figuring it out.
But what makes Molten truly compelling isn’t just its emotional weight—it’s the courage to sit with discomfort, to document the fire without flinching. “Every song is something I had to let go of,” he explains. “Memories, people, versions of myself I couldn’t carry anymore. Molten is about learning to sit with the fire of transformation, even when it burns.”
With over 600,000 Spotify streams and early support from Wonderland and Notion Magazine, just Min is quickly establishing himself as one of alternative pop’s most compelling emerging voices—an artist unafraid to be vulnerable, and in doing so, deeply relatable.Molten doesn’t promise resolution. It doesn’t offer easy answers. But it does what all powerful art does: it reminds us we’re not alone in the chaos of becoming.
In a time when most pop music is dominated by formulaic hooks and predictable production, Mimi’s Revenge has carved out a space all their own. Hailing from Atlanta, this boundary-pushing duo has just released their latest single, ‘Dire’, a moody, cinematic track that feels both like a glimpse into a larger narrative and a powerful statement on its own. It’s a raw, introspective dive into their world, where emotional depth collides with sleek, high-gloss production.
What sets ‘Dire’ apart from the get-go is its atmosphere. From the first notes, the track pulls you into an immersive sonic space, where every synth swell and beat drop feels deliberate. There’s a cinematic quality to the production, as if every element — from the sparse vocals to the haunting instrumentals — is working together to tell a larger, unfolding story. It’s rare that a single track feels so fully realized and yet so open-ended, like the first chapter of a book that leaves you aching to know what happens next.
The beauty of ‘Dire’ lies in its contrasts. The song is at once sleek and shadowy, smooth and jagged. It manages to be both polished and deeply personal, offering a space for listeners to reflect and dance in equal measure. The production is glossy without ever feeling superficial, each layer of sound building tension and release. And at the heart of it all is the vulnerability of the lyrics — a powerful exploration of emotional chaos, pain, and the catharsis of turning those feelings into art.
Behind ‘Dire’ is a duo that refuses to be constrained by genre or expectation. Mimi’s Revenge pulls influences from the likes of Prince, Outkast, and blink-182, but instead of mimicking, they combine elements from these icons in a way that feels uniquely their own. There’s a rebellious spirit here — the kind that refuses to fit into neatly labeled boxes. This is music that exists on the margins, unapologetically dark yet brimming with possibility.
One of the most striking aspects of Mimi’s Revenge is their DIY ethos. From the brooding beats to the visuals and even the handmade costumes, the duo controls every aspect of their artistry. This commitment to creative independence speaks to a deeper vision — one that is about more than just making music. It’s about creating a space for those who feel too much, for the outsiders and the misfits, and making them feel seen and heard.
With ‘Dire’, Mimi’s Revenge prove that they are artists to watch. This single is more than just a song — it’s a declaration of intent. If this track is any indication, the duo is on the verge of something even bigger. Bold, beautiful, and brimming with promise, ‘Dire’ is a perfect introduction to the world of Mimi’s Revenge, one that you won’t be able to look away from.
