Career
2014–present: Solo debut and first full-length album
Heize made her debut in 2014 with her EP Heize, which included a total of six songs.[6][7]
Heize took part in Mnet's reality rap show Unpretty Rapstar but was eliminated in the semi-finals. Nevertheless, her appearance brought her attention as a singer.[8][9]
Heize released her second EP And July in 2016, and it eventually peaked at 34 at the Gaon Music Chart. The two singles "And July" and "Shut Up & Groove" peaked at 8 and 27, respectively, on the Korean national chart. "Shut Up & Groove" also charted on Billboard US World chart.
Heize released her digital single "Star" in December 2016, and it achieved an "All-Kill" after reaching number one in all Korean music real-time charts upon release.[10] Her third extended play, /// (You, Clouds, Rain) (2017) and its lead singles "Don't Know You"[11] and "You, Clouds, Rain"[12] were successful and achieved "All-Kill" after reaching number one in all Korean music real-time charts and charted at number one on Gaon Digital Chart.
Heize released her fourth EP, Wind (alternatively called Wish & Wind), on March 8, 2018. It was well received, with the lead singles topping the charts.[8][9]
Heize released her first full-length studio album, She's Fine, on March 19, 2019. The album contains 11 songs and features appearances from Simon Dominic, Colde, Sunwoo Jung-a, Jooyoung, Nafla and DAVII. She reportedly chose the title of the album because she "wanted to tell people that it's all fine."[13] Billboard ranked the album as number 11 on its list of the "25 Best K-pop Albums of 2019", commenting, "Satin-soft sensitivity wraps the album in warm comfort, drawing one into Heize's heart and proving why she is one of the most colorful and exciting artists of her generation."[14]
On July 7, 2019, Heize released the single "We Don't Talk Together" featuring Korean rapper Giriboy.[15] Produced by Suga, the alt R&B song is co-written by Heize and is about how a former couple has grown far apart from one another."[16] The song reached number two on the South Korean Gaon Digital Chart.[17]
