CIX ‘Still Has a Lot to Show’

CIX was among our 10 Best K-Pop Debuts of 2019The 4th generation of K-pop, this vibrant kid band of 5– BX, SEUNGHUN, BAEJINYOUNG (previous member of WANNAONE), YONGHEE, and HYUNSUK– under C9 Entertainment makes and provides sensual popular song with psychological clearness and topical concerns guiding their songwriting. Their fancy visuals, transmittable energy, and appealing hooks typically take spotlight, however you like them most for what’s within their tunes– a complete spectrum of sensations– letting one go on a reflective musical journey.

In 2019, CIX debuted with the EP Hi Chapter 1: Hello, Stranger. “Complete in X” (CIX) is all its members’ unpredictabilities welcomed and rolled into a cohesive system. Each tune in the act’s brochure represents the essence of that entity, covering a range of musical categories, from enthusiastic and positive tunes to gorgeous blues. In addition obvious in their slick efficiencies is CIX’s dedication to sincerity and the expression of sensations more straight. “We pay very close attention to the feelings utilized to communicate each tune, the total tone, and little information to provide the message in our music,” states HYUNSUK.

That’s exceptional– CIX will not ever pull back from being devoted to utilizing music that will stir sensations of intimacy with the listener, a much deeper bond, instead of imitating patterns or sticking to a specific predefined principle. Which’s what I like about their tunes– the sincerity, raw feelings, and all the resonating components contributing to those deft singing shipments.

Tracks like “Movie Star” check out the pressures and needs put on people in the spotlight. A reflective tune like”Numbexposes youth issues, the young who turn numb, leaving what they desire and imagine– CIX handles styles of youth, modification, discovering oneself, and discovering strength in weak point– likewise vocalizing a fully grown self in the really significance of love– and the lots of sensations accompanying it– delight, stress and anxiety, yearning, discomfort, endurance, and insufficiency.

0 or 1the quintet’s new single album, is a frank statement of the consuming belief, including tracks that explain “the complex feelings of love.” CIX dropped the album in January 2024, 8 months after launching their 6th EPokay Episode 2: I’m okaythe epilogue for the ‘OKAY’ series.”0 or 1 functions as a short hiatus from our universe story that has actually existed up until our previous mini-album,” states BX. It’s unique without differing what identifies CIX– deconstructing CIX without forgeting its essence.

My list below interaction with the band takes shape that– the elements that specify CIX, the soul of the band, the tunes they’re putting out, and how together they’re continuing in a quote to reveal what they’ve got– a great deal of which is yet to be shared.
