MIND - IKON (Pop) IKON takes us to church with a mid tempo gospel infused cut, “MIND”. It’s a plucky production, with a thumping kick and minimalist instrumentation that creates a simmering tension throughout. There’s a bit of funk in here, as well as a sound reminiscent of 90s West Coast hip hop—you could totally hear Snoop Dogg rapping over a track line this. IKON’s vocals are pure pop with R&B influence, a tight head voice that slinks all over the seductive track. We really loved the deep choral backing, a baritone that played well as a contrast with IKON’s tenor, similarly the way that the rich bass also does this while centering the track. This one sizzles.
