Girl’s Hood is a collaborative project between R&B artists Jiselle and SUMMER CAKE, created to increase recognition and appreciation for female artists in K-R&B. The project debuted with their pre-release track, “Circle in Me,” on May 19. The song emphasizes unity despite differences in individuality and emotion.

Jiselle is an R&B artist known for her distinctive musical identity. She has collaborated with artists like CHANGMO, pH-1, BewhY, PENOMECO, BIG Naughty, and Seori. Featured in ENA’s House of Girls last year, Jiselle’s presence and talent continue to grow in the K-R&B scene.

SUMMER CAKE is best known for her appearance on Mnet’s The Voice of Korea 2020, where she finished as a finalist in the Top 4. Since then, she has released music that reflects her personal emotions and perspective, including tracks like “Love Villain” and “Bake.” Fully immersed in writing and producing her music, she has developed a unique sound that seamlessly blends alternative R&B, pop, and hip-hop.

‘LET THEM’ is the second act in Girl’s Hood’s creative movement. Released on September 12, this single adds a vibrant touch to their growing discography. Featuring minimal, groove-driven, Afrobeat-inspired production, “LET THEM” combines cultural appreciation with individuality. The track highlights the contrasting vocal styles of Jiselle and SUMMER CAKE, creating a harmony that is uniquely theirs.

Stone Sound Record states, “Moments when you are constantly having to explain and prove yourself under others’ gazes and judgments, moments when you begin to doubt and compare yourself to standards set by someone else. 'Let Them' starts from the attitude of not reacting to every single thing, but leaving the rest to them and focusing on one’s own life and choices. For Jiselle and Summer Cake, who have maintained their own identity and built a long-lasting career as female artists, this message is more than just a slogan. In an environment exposed to countless gazes and standards—deciding what to wear, how to behave, and what music to play—the two have created their own originality in their own ways. Therefore, 'Let Them' is both advice offered to someone and a candid reflection of the two artists on themselves.”
