"I-RING / I Need Paradise (Prod.by ONODUB)"

A reality entangled in numerous constraints, tossed about by a global pandemic, and everyday life marked by a cycle of longing for the unattainable. In such times, the only paradise constantly envisioned in the heart is just one. Let's stop the hands of the clock, barefoot for just this moment, and forget everything. If you close your eyes, there lies a utopia, free and beautiful. Inspired by the floating sensation of 2000s US R&B, such as "Aaliyah - Rock The Boat" and "Ashanti - Rock Wit U," the ONODUB Beat and the Good Feeling Music crafted by I-RING in the 2020s come together.
