Rookie boy group IDID has returned with their 1st Single Album "PUSH BACK" on November 20.
The title track 'PUSH BACK,' defying conventions, simply walking at my own pace. This hip-hop dance track symbolizes IDID’s evolution. Sweet vocals and powerful rap intersect over a brisk guitar riff and minimal bass, revealing the team's identity as a place of tension and composure. 'PUSH BACK' embodies the dual meaning of resisting norms on the outside (push back) and not pushing yourself back on the inside (don't push back). The solid yet brisk rhythm and clear sound convey the message, "Take off the mismatched price tag, just walk my way," and "The more you embrace it, the more free you become." This is the story IDID, three months after their debut, wants to tell.
The music video also creates a striking scene. The chaos encountered in a repetitive and meaningless routine actually fuels a thirst for music, leading to freedom. The boredom of the mundane becomes a performance, and the banal surroundings become rhythmic devices. If you embrace the unexpected without rejecting it, you will find something new within. That is the freedom of "PUSH BACK" that IDID envisions.
The second track on the single 'Heaven Smiles' is a hip-hop-based track that captures the thrill and liberation of confrontation. The unique intro, heavy bass, and spatial melody combine to create a tunnel-like immersion. Driven by curiosity rather than fear, they fearlessly leap forward, following their heartbeats. Following "PUSH BACK," this track expands on the confidence of the rhythmic clash, twisting the familiar chords.
This single maintains the youthful innocence of their debut album, yet captures a sense of ease and fresh energy through a more unconventional approach. The styling is trendy without being overdone, and the members' proactive attitudes and joyful expressions reflect their natural growth, filling the stage with a sense of purpose rather than maturity, a sense of vitality rather than calculation.
