Artist-producer ZICO is grabbing attention with a new collaboration.
ZICO will make his comeback with the digital single “SPOT! (feat. JENNIE)” at 6 p.m. KST on April 26. This is ZICO’s first time in a year and nine months since the release of his mini album “GROWN ASS KID” in July 2022.
The song became a hot topic just from discovering ZICO and Jennie. On April 18, part of the song “SPOT! (feat. JENNIE)” was broadcast on ZICO’s personal SNS, and netizens expressed their expectations by saying: “If it is a collaboration of ZICO and Jennie, I trust and I listen.” “It’s a song that perfectly matches the voices of both” and “I repeat the 20-second video over and over.”
ZICO has shown a wide range of musical universes through collaboration with various musicians. He has a good eye and sense for finding the best artist for the song as well as writing, composition and production skills. The fresh and trendy music created by ZICO and his fellow singers has always targeted listeners’ tastes.
ZICO has the best combination so far with artists in the hip-hop scene such as Crush, Dean, Penomeco and The Quiett, as well as male and female solo singers such as Rain and IU.
“새삥 Prod. ZICO (Feat. Homies)” and “Yes Or no (Feat. PENOMECO, The Quiett)” created a “hip-hop syndrome” in the Korean music industry. “SoulMate (Feat. IU)” was appreciated for its acoustic sensitivity and delicate melody, and went straight to No. 1 on Melon’s weekly chart in the first week of its release. “Summer hate (Feat. Rain)” continued the easy listening craze that began with “Any song” and topped the national real-time music charts with Melon, Genie and Bugs.
In the new song “SPOT! (feat. JENNIE), he teamed up with another “musical powerhouse” named Jennie. It is expected that ZICO and Jennie may encounter a new side through the song, which features the unvarnished moments of two friends who met by chance at a late night party.
ZICO, who celebrated his 10th anniversary as a solo artist this year, will be active in 2024, starting with “SPOT! (feat. JENNIE).
