Rewriting the genre boundaries by fusing unique Asian influences into electronic dance music, 'Jekyll & Hyde' is a fusion of K-Pop, EDM, Future Bass and Trap, which Justin himself has coined as 'Future Trap'. Opening with a delicate vocal topline, 'Jekyll & Hyde' quickly elevates towards a kinetic drop, flipping the track into a bass-fuelled anthem. Keeping in line with its title, 'Jekyll & Hyde' is a masterful play between subtle melodies and hard-hitting drops and is sure to grab the attention of even the most discernable bass music lovers. Deciding to craft a Korean version of 'Jekyll & Hyde' alongside the original, released via Loen Entertainment, Justin strives to introduce new sounds to EDM lovers in Korea, as well K-pop fanatics across the globe. Teaming up with director Olav Stubberud, whose client roster includes the likes of Justin Bieber and Kygo, the visual accompaniment is fittingly shot throughout Singapore, Bali, Tokyo and Seoul, heightening the Asian influences represented in the track.
