IU – Holssi

Digipedi (sorry, d!g!ped!) delivered a MV worthy of this weird gem. IU is managing to surprises, again and again. ❤️
The album “The Winning” will be out February 20, 2024.

The music video is quite eccentric, featuring the beloved cartoon character Tweety. The video follows IU as she sings about being a “spore” that takes flight in order to bloom elsewhere. Later, she’s joined by dancers who similarly take flight into the sky, as a giant inflatable Tweety Bird watches from the background.

The track “Holssi” boasts a unique composition with a hip-hop and R&B basis. Set against a robust drum and bass backdrop, IU showcases her vocal versatility, effortlessly transitioning between roles — at times a supple R&B singer, at others a carefree and confident rapper, and occasionally as pure and straightforward as a child singing a nursery rhyme.

The lyrics for “Holssi” were written by IU herself. The song was composed by Lee Jong Hoon, Lee Chae Gyu, and IU. The arrangement was done by Lee Jong Hoon and Lee Chae Gyu.
