LP – Limited Edition Oxblood Colour Vinyl.When Are You Leaving? is the second full-length album from LA-based Korean-American artist NoSo (Baek Hwong), and it marks a bold evolution in both sound and storytelling.Where their 2022 debut Stay Proud of Me introduced a deeply earnest voice navigating identity and belonging – earning praise from NPR’s All Songs Considered, Paste, The Guardian, and a stunning performance at Tiny Desk – this follow-up turns the lends inward with even greater clarity and confidence.Across a vibrant palette of disco grooves, jagged guitars, and atmospheric ballads, NoSo captures the quiet power of letting go – of fractured relationships, old narratives, and the need to be understood by others.The album is rich with emotional contrast: thorny truths wrapped in dreamy production, vulnerability delivered with the assuredness of an artist coming fully into their own.Self-produced and sonically fearless, When Are You Leaving? is a coming-of-age record for anyone still in the process of becoming, and a testament to NoSo’s place among the most compelling songwriters of their generation.
