The blokes of iKON have slowly been establishing solo careers now that they’re free from YG Leisure’s shackles. JU-NE has beforehand recorded a number of OSTs, however Really feel Misplaced (나 홀로) and accompanying mini album Bruise mark his official debut. The track sees him undertake a rock strategy, melding guitar with funky rhythms.

As a guitar participant himself, this style makes use of JU-NE’s abilities and pursuits. Ok-pop doesn’t have almost sufficient idol guitarists, and it’s enjoyable to see him rock out. Really feel Misplaced‘s calling card is a high-pitched, squealing guitar riff that may have grow to be a synth loop in a extra conventional idol launch. I’m unsure how nice this sound is as a listener, however it positively provides the observe texture.

Although Really feel Misplaced is an effective begin, the track is lacking one thing. It bops by in two and a half minutes with out delivering any large punches. On this approach, it feels extra like a free jam session than a taut, finely-tuned title observe. However even when I’m unlikely to hunt this out by itself, I can positively hear potential for future initiatives.
