ICHILLIN′ showcases musical versatility through five new tracks

STONE MUSIC released a video featuring five tracks from ICHILLIN′, ranging from the teen rock title 'KICK-START' to the dark techno track 'SIREN' following the addition of new member Jiyoon.

ICHILLIN′ has presented a wide range of musical variations, spanning genres from teen rock to dark techno. A video released by STONE MUSIC capturing the musical world of ICHILLIN′ contains five tracks with different textures.

Funky guitar riffs and hyperpop variations

The title track 'KICK-START' is a teen rock song featuring impressive funky guitar riffs, showcasing the energetic and confident image unique to ICHILLIN′. SELAH, Charlotte Wilson, and The HUB 88 participated in composing the song, with SELAH handling the arrangement as well as computer programming, drums, guitar, and bass to enhance the track's completion.

In contrast, 'MEME' is a hyperpop track based on an exciting hip-hop rhythm. Using the concept of a 'Meme,' the song expresses the meaning that ICHILLIN′ is the only escape from a predictable world that spins like a hamster wheel. RANG and VERSACHOI were in charge of composition and arrangement.

New beginnings and witty melodies

'Draw,' the first song to open the second chapter of the new ICHILLIN′ following the addition of new member Jiyoon, brightly and lightheartedly expresses the hearts of girls anticipating new love with a fresh sensibility reminiscent of a teen movie. Devine Channel took charge of composition and arrangement, with Park Yeong-gwang, Sakehands, and others participating in the instrumental performances.

'Alarm' begins with a dreamy whistle sound and is a charming track featuring intense brass sounds and an addictive melody over a hip-hop beat. The lyrics wittily express having one's heart stolen by someone met for the first time by saying an 'Alarm rings in the head.' Kang Ji-won was responsible for the lyrics, composition, and arrangement, and personally performed the synth, bass, piano, and drums.

The reversal of dark techno, 'SIREN'

There is also an intense variation that stands in contrast to the existing atmosphere of ICHILLIN′. 'SIREN' is a song built upon intense dark techno bass and electronic synths. The dark and powerful sounds capture attention from the introduction, and the Anti Drop part, which follows the emotional shifts and rising atmosphere, is designed to overwhelm the mood of the song in an instant. GALLERY MUSIC PRODUCTION handled the production, and the track is characterized by a catchy hook overflowing with the members' individuality.
