There is a sense of acceptance that comes with Taeyeon’s sixth EP. 17 years into her career and nine years into her journey as a soloist, the mini album feels like it draws on all the difficult times she has admitted to experiencing in the past—from her struggles with mental health to the burnout she talked about feeling last year. In Letter to Myself , Taeyeon comes out the other side, stronger.

Accompanied by a London-shot music video, the six-track EP reveals different facets of Taeyeon’s musical artistry—and once again solidifies her status as one of K-pop’s most beloved performers. But for now, we’ll let the music speak for itself. Below, all the thoughts I had while listening to Taeyeon’s Letter to Myself .

Letter to Myself is now available on all streaming platforms..
