IZ - young rock band from South Korea

 

 

No one should be so much obliged to show such loving care for their fans, tapping Korean hospitality, as these four endearing boys do at intervals with their varied singles and albums, amounting to six announced. And with this kind of youthful, cheerful, carefree rock number from idol rockers. Sure, they beckon to Korean listeners who are used to and reminded of them, notably CNBLUE and more anciently, Click-B. Even older and in the bigger Northeastern Asian area, X-Japan. Some of their music videos show some naïve Beatles-like camaraderie, of the members lying freely around in a circle.

The track “The Day” featuring in their newest single album launched on the end day of January steadily spews springy and feisty lyrics and melody. Typically, and overall, their slight but various musical experiments, from tranquil to ballad to blues to boyish vocal to vocal unison, all point to their own brand of South Korean rock’n roll.
