[nx_pullquote]“Dies irae illa… / Vos solve in favilla… / Maledictus erus… / In flames aeternum… / I’ll be your idol.”[/nx_pullquote] Ah, Dies Irae – day of wrath! With portions of the Latin hymn from the Catholic mass (with modifications), the end of the intro of “Your Idol” is more hellish than heavenly (“I’ll be your idol”).  In Exodus 20: 3-6, God forbids false idols: ³ You shall have no other gods before me. Saja Boys, Andrew Choi, Neckwav, Danny Chung, KEVIN WOO, samUIL Lee, and the KPop Demon Hunters Cast don’t seem concerned about false idolatry on the banging seventh track from the platinum-certified KPop Demon Hunters (Soundtrack from the Netflix Film). Notably, it is starkly different from Saja Boys’ other big moment from the film/soundtrack, “Soda Pop”. One of many successful songs, “Your Idol,” peaked at number four on the Billboard Hot 100 and was certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America. EJAE, Mark Sonnenblick, Vince (KOR), KUSH (쿠시), 24, and IDO (KOR) composed it. 24, IDO (KOR), and Ian Eisendrath produced it.

“Your Idol” is set in a minor key.  It commences dramatically with a cinematic sound. That’s fitting – it is a song from a children’s movie soundtrack, after all!  Following the bold, distinct choral harmonies (intentional), “Your Idol” settles into a contemporary pop record.  While this contemporary pop record hails from a soundtrack, it’s also a fun, infectious, standalone gem. “Your Idol” thrives on tuneful, rhythmic melodies and its unforgettable lyrics. Those unforgettable lyrics are… idol-driven. “Know I’m the only one right now (Now) / I will love you more when it all burns down,” Mystery sings in the first verse, while Romance adds, “More than power (Uh), more than gold (Yeah) / Yeah, you gave me your heart, now I’m here for your soul.” A compelling rap appears in the second verse, providing contrast. Romance drops another banger of a lyric in the second verse: “Your obsession feeds our connection / 이 순간 give me all your attention.” In the pre-chorus, Jinu memorably sings: “You know I’m the only one who’ll love your sins / Feel the way my voice gets underneath your skin.” Oh, shit shiitake mushrooms 🍄! The chorus is the crème de la crème:

“Listen ‘cause I’m preachin’ to the choir

Can I get the mic a little higher?

Gimme your desire

I can be the star you rely on

내 황홀에 취해, you can’t look away

Don’t you know I’m here to save you?

Now we runnin’ wild

Yeah, I’m all you need, I’ma be your idol.”

Even though “Your Idol” is not “Golden”, the biggest song from the soundtrack, and is much darker than “Soda Pop”, it marks another K-pop banger. The performance, sound, and vibe are #GIVING, NO CAP!
