When EVAN announced his solo career, fans around the world wondered what was next. What would his solo sound like? Would he pursue the R&B route? Maybe he would try the pop genre? Before the release, he dropped covers of well-known R&B tracks, and that had many wondering whether this would be the route he was going to take.
When he released his teaser for the track, many were shocked but excited for more. The anticipation was brewing, and it is now here. EVAN has returned to the K-Pop scene with his debut release, RIDE OR DIE. RIDE OR DIE is a single release with two songs that give a look into what fans can look forward to with his new solo career.
RIDE OR DIE - Single Tracklist:
“Ride or Die” (title track)
“Overflow”
The title track for the single release is his track “Ride or Die.” Taking a more punk approach, “Ride or Die” is a punk-pop/alternative track that features a heavy rock instrumental and strong vocals. From the moment the song starts, listeners are drawn in by the electrifying opening beat. Throughout the song, listeners can hear instruments like drums and electric guitars, which give it a rock sound, while the synth sound adds an even more electrifying element. The song is only two minutes long, but in those two minutes, listeners are hooked from beginning to end. Those strong vocals EVAN is known for are showcased in this song. In his voice, you can hear the angst behind it, and that makes the song even more emotional. In the song, he sings about this person and how much he loves them. With lyrics like “You are my ride or die. Drive till the end of time,” and “My love will never die,” listeners can hear his admiration for the person, making this a confession to the person he loves.
The music video matches that angsty vibe that they were going for in the song. Throughout the video, viewers see EVAN navigating various situations. Viewers can see him being ignored and avoided, as though he were invisible. His rocker-punk aesthetic aligns with the track's overall theme and adds to its angsty concept.
