COII releases official single ‘1979 Blue’... adding completeness to the emotions of the demo
COII has released the official version of the single ‘1979 Blue’ on the 16th, expanding upon the raw emotions of the demo version released in February. The track explores the modern loneliness and ambivalent feelings of Gen Z amidst social media algorithms and digital connectivity.
COII, who sings of the 'vulnerability of Gen Z,' released the new single ‘1979 Blue’ at noon on the 16th. According to media reports, the song captures the sense of alienation within flashy SNS feeds and algorithms, as well as the loneliness of modern individuals who find it difficult to find someone to share their heart with despite having many contacts. It unravels the ambivalent emotions of liking being alone yet hating it, and feeling comfort and loneliness simultaneously, under the theme of 'irony.'
This official release is the original song of the ‘1979 Blue’ demo version, which was released on February 26 and received critical acclaim. Unlike the demo, which conveyed raw emotions with only a single piano and guide vocals, the official version adds immersion by dreamily weaving together a highly polished sound design with COII's unique vocal color.
COII released the debut single ‘Typing’ on February 19. Upon its release, it featured on the ‘K-R&B Now’ cover of the music platform Spotify, and on March 12, an acoustic guitar-centered demo version of ‘Typing’ was also presented.
Broken Hearts Social Club, in charge of planning and production, stated, "If the demo version released last February was the emotional raw gem when COII first encountered the song, the official track released on the 16th is the perfect result of meticulously polishing those emotions." They added, "It will be a track that best showcases COII's unique, honest, and vulnerable 'vulnerable core' identity that has continued since the debut song ‘Typing’."
