ILHOON Releases New Single 'closet' Featuring ZENE THE ZILLA

Singer ILHOON has released his new single 'closet' on various online music platforms at 6 PM on the 24th.

The track 'closet' opens with the lyrics "There's something in my closet," and is a narrative piece that captures the emptiness left after a breakup and the words left unsaid. The song uniquely presents these potentially heavy emotions with a kitschy, bubble-like sensibility. With sound production that consciously incorporates cartoonish elements and the mood of a B-movie, the track is crafted with an indirect approach to emotional weight.

The production of the song was a joint effort between producer PATEKO and ILHOON. PATEKO, known for his unique style in the hip-hop and R&B scene, collaborates with ILHOON for the second time following their previous work on 'Merry go round.' The track also features rapper ZENE THE ZILLA, adding depth to the composition.

'closet' is the second single from ILHOON's ongoing collaboration project 'RGB SGNL.' This project aims to expand genre boundaries by varying the combination of producers and featuring artists with each release. The project kicked off with the release of the first single 'Merry go round' in March, which quickly entered the real-time charts on major music sites.

Following this, ILHOON successfully concluded his solo concert 'MAEDUP' in April, reaffirming his presence on stage. The concert was well-received by both existing fans and new audiences who discovered him through his solo activities, leading naturally to the release of 'closet.'

'closet' is available for streaming on various online music platforms.
