The participants of iKON proceed to stretch their wings, freeing increasingly solo releases in various genres. It’s already been a hectic 12 months on this regard, and now lead vocalist Track Yunhyeong is throwing his hat within the ring with the vigorous It’s Name (콜이야). Its boisterous trot sound could also be unexpected to start with, however whilst you dig deeper into iKON’s albums there’s in truth precedent for this.
Trot is a kind of genres I’m so glad exists, despite the fact that I’d hardly make a choice to hear it myself. Given Ok-pop’s persisted Westward growth, it’s refreshing to listen to one thing that feels tailored for Korean listeners. It’s Name is a huge, brash package of silliness, carried out with verve and and a understanding humorousness. It’s too amiable to dislike, and its punchy refrain will put on you down through the years. I believe it could be a blast at karaoke.
But, a little bit of It’s Name is going some distance. As with maximum trot songs on this taste, you truly must be in the appropriate temper to completely experience it.
