"My favorite song on the soundtrack is the closing number, "What it Sounds Like," in which Rumi and the rest of the Huntr/x girls come together, sing apologies to each other across a crowded stadium, and then defeat the demon king Gwi-ma. It is an incredible, anthemic finale that ties everything the movie has said and done together in one ensemble performance. It turns out, the demo laid that on a little thicker."
"Ejae sat down with YouTuber Daniel Wall for a lengthy interview discussing her process and playing demos of the film's songs. She is the sole vocalist on these early recordings, as they were meant to be proofs of concept for the songs that would finally appear in the film, and other vocalists, like the other two members of Huntr/x, Rei Ami and Audrey Nuna, hadn't recorded their parts yet."
KPop Demon Hunters has been a cultural phenomenon for six months. Ejae is the songwriter and singing voice of main character Rumi and recorded early demos as proofs of concept. The closing number "What it Sounds Like" features Rumi and Huntr/x apologizing across a stadium and defeating the demon king Gwi-ma in an anthemic ensemble. The demo version expands the finale with a medley that interpolates songs like "Free" and "How It's Done" and foregrounds Ejae as the sole vocalist since other Huntr/x members had not recorded yet. The final mix adds crowd chanting of the Korean "Hunter's Mantra" and emphasizes Rumi's lead with rich harmonies.
