ZICO posted a picture of the recording session on his official Instagram at 10 PM on the 13th, saying, "Let's
DUET!" along with a video of them discussing their work with Lilas.
ZICO said, "While working on the song, Ikura and I searched for a genre that would allow the two artists to coexist in one song. We're thinking of calling it 'DUET'."
He introduced the song and performed a part of it. Ikuta Rira was impressed by the bright and light melody, saying, "It's wonderful and the best. I'm really looking forward to it." ZICO also commented, "I recorded a guide for Ikuta Rira.
I would be happy if you could finish the part beautifully," he said, raising expectations for the collaboration. The digital single "DUET," which will be released at midnight on the 19th, features two seemingly opposite voices.
The song highlights the harmony between the two members, who have different personalities from Scholar. They are considered to be the "top tier of Korean and Japanese hip hop" artists, respectively, representing Korean hip hop and Japanese band music.
So when news of their collaboration broke, it was met with a lot of interest. ZICO has been working continuously with artists from various genres, broadening his musical spectrum.
This year in particular, he has crossed borders, teaming up with m-flo for "EKO EKO" and then with Ikuta Rira, demonstrating his global influence.
Expectations are high for ZICO's new song as he continues to take on new challenges.
