2Z (fighting spirit) Artist and 2nd album [Nostrum]

The first step with the heroes!
The title song of 2Z (Fuji), who took his first step into the world in January 2020, is ‘My 1st Hero’. This song, which literally means ‘my first hero’, is a song that 2Z (2Z) first practiced as a band, such as ‘Creep’ by Radio Head, ‘New sensation’ by INXS, and ‘Young blood’ by 5 Seconds of Summer. It contains the fun sincerity of famous songs by legendary artists in the lyrics. 2Z (Fuji) has endured and enjoyed the unfamiliar stage day by day with this song that contains a real story. Consisting of five members, Hojin (main vocalist), Hyunwoong (rapper), Jisub (guitar & sub vocalist), Junghyeon (bass guitar), and Beomjun (drums), 2Z (Tooji) has a unique career as an idol and active fashion model. Because of this, from the time of their debut, they received a somewhat burdensome spotlight called ‘the birth of a model idol’ that combines visuals and physicals. However, as they said in their debut song ‘My 1st Hero’, their first step with the heroes of music was energetic and full of passion, and it was enough to look forward to their next move.

Nostrum called hope made with sincere communication! The album title of 2Z’s second album is ‘Nostrum’. The dictionary meaning of ‘Nostrum’ is defined as ‘prescription that seems unlikely to succeed’, ‘slander’ or ‘fake medicine’. It may be an unfounded prescription, but 2Z (fighting spirit) believes that the message of sincere music is a miracle drug that can heal the world. ‘Doctor’, the title track of 2Z’s second album, is a beat-strong rock number that directly reveals their sincerity. ‘Doctor’, which opens with a section of breathless instruments, is an impressive song with an aggressive sound that contrasts with the smoothly unfolding melody.

As you can see from the lyrics, Ive got a feeling / This world is a jungle / Ive been praying for / The song of salvation is just this sound, the potion that will save a difficult and turbid world is their music, and they are the ones who heal this world. It contains a strong message of being a ‘doctor’ who can do it. Especially in 2020, when the ‘Corona 19 virus’ is driving the world into fear! It seems that the hope that 2Z’s (fighting spirit) music will be a small comfort is contained in it. The second track, ’25 (Twenty Five)’, is a song released in 2018 by the band ‘VEIL’ led by ‘Jeong Han-jong’, the head of their company ‘GOGO2020’. ) is a newly remade song. This track, which contains the content of inviting you to a ‘new world’ of dreams and fantasies called ’25 o’clock’ rather than everyday life made of 24 hours, is a music of ‘New Romantics’ and ‘Synth Pop’ that was popular in the 80s. Through 2Z (fighting spirit), it can be evaluated that it has been reborn as a true ‘New+Retro’. In particular, it is fun to compare and listen to the ‘voice color’ of ‘Veil’ vocalist ‘Kim Won-joon’ and 2Z’s ‘Kim Ho-jin’. The third song, ‘Not Bad’, is an exhilarating mixture rock number with a dramatic composition and ‘Hoo’k’ called ‘Not Bad’ with Electric Synth at the beginning of the song. It is said to be a song that has its own color. Even if we are not beings that others look up to, even if sometimes it is a reckless challenge like ‘Icarus’ dream’, we who are doing music are the ones who are doing music, and the lyrics of ‘Not Bad’ show how happy they are through music. ‘ So, ‘how much I want to share and communicate that happiness’ is a music that shows well.

Until you can become real with fighting spirit and passion in a world full of pretense…
Members who are living in the ‘studio’ after their debut album activities are preparing for their 2nd album said that they spent almost every day shedding tears. Those who started recording with ‘confidence’ that they could do well and ‘responsibility’ that they had to do well said that they felt a ‘feeling of shame’ that they were still far away and even ‘fear’ at the ‘monster’ of music approaching like a huge wall. But he said that these tears were not only painful. It is because they know that their sincere love for music is needed more than anything else than the world’s gaze and evaluation. It is also because their sincerity grows and they believe that the song of hope they sing can be completed as a ‘medicine needed in the world’. Let’s take the prescription of 2Z (fighting spirit), which means ‘a strong mind to fight until the end’, to see what effect it will have on us today.
