The talented solo artist I.M. from MONSTA X has finally released his new album "Off The Beat" today! The album was released by Sony Music Entertainment and contains six different tracks including the title track "LURE".

The songs are a colorful mix of different genres such as Hip-Hop, R&B, Soul and Bossa/Latin, so there is definitely something for everyone!

The album marks another step in I.M's artistic career, which is characterized by his unique perspective. With each song he expresses different aspects of his personality: "Bust it" conveys his confidence with a strong trap sound, "X0" is a smooth sound that will keep you mesmerized late at night and "Skyline" has a rhythmic beat and seductive lyrics. "MMI" contains confident lyrics in an exotic uptempo melody and in 'nbdy' you are confronted with the emptiness that comes from the absence of someone.

The highlight of the album is the title track 'LURE'. It is an intense mixture of vocals, rap and rousing beats.

"Off The Beat" is an emotional rollercoaster ride that invites you to explore the various themes. I.M's way of communicating to his fans through his music sets him apart as an artist.

I.M composed and arranged lyrics early on, showing his potential as a solo artist.

In 2021 gab er mit dem Album “DUALITY”, welches fünf Tracks enthält, endlich sein Solo Debüt! Das Musikvideo zu seinem Titeltrack "God Damn" wurde auf YouTube 8,5 Millionen Mal aufgerufen und hat über 15,9 Millionen Streams auf Spotify. Im Juni 2023 folgte the second album "OVERDRIVE"followed, which reached over 1 million streams within 24 hours of its release!

Obwohl I.M als Solokünstler neue Wege beschreitet, ist er weiterhin als Mitglied von Monsta X aktiv:

Seit ihrem Debüt im Jahr 2015 hat die Boygroup mit ihrem einzigartigen Mix aus Hip-Hop, EDM und Pop die Herzen der Fans erobert und zahlreiche Auszeichnungen gewonnen. Zuletzt hat Monsta X im Januar 2023 their twelfth mini album "Reason" veröffentlicht. Seitdem ist es ruhig um die Boyband geworden, da die meisten Mitglieder derzeit ihren Militärdienst ableisten. Wir freuen uns schon auf ihre Rückkehr!
