'MZ wannabe icon' IVE's Liz captivated global fans with her charming vocal tone and a high-quality duet.
Liz recently released a cover video with Kangnam on the YouTube channel "Dongnechingu Kangnami [Kangnami]".
That day, Liz, dressed in a black suit, performed a duet of the OST "JANE DOE" from the Japanese hit anime film "Chainsaw Man: Reze Chapter" with Kangnam. Liz delivered the song with a clear and delicate singing ability, conveying the narrator's emotions and narrative from her own perspective, captivating both the eyes and ears.
In particular, Liz's distinctive firm and pure vocal tone, her skillful switching between chest and head voice, and her delicate facial expressions maximized the song's lonely mood and left a deep aftertaste. Liz's smooth voice combined with Kangnam's powerful vocals created an attractive chemistry that offered a different kind of emotion from the original.
Also, the two's subtle emotional expressions added immersion and empathy to the lyrics, and the vocal synergy that intensified toward the climax delivered a deep resonance to listeners. Since its release, the video has been met with a hot response, surpassing 3.5 million views and continuing to receive steady love.
"JANE DOE" is a duet by Japanese singer Kenshi Yonezu and Hikaru Utada, which closed out the ending of the film "Chainsaw Man: Reze Chapter" and was loved by fans at home and abroad.
Meanwhile, Liz, who showcased a distinctive vocal tone through special stages including last year's MBC Hangout With Yoo and broadcaster year-end music festivals, has been actively promoting through music shows and various content with IVE's second full-length album REVIVE+ double title track "BLACKHOLE," released on Feb. 23.
