Rapper Novel Core will release his first EP on January 18th, 2023, a date that will also mark his 22nd birthday.
iCoN will contain five tracks: the title song, DAWN, FREAK PARADE, SORRY, I'M A GENIUS and JENGA. All of the tracks were produced by Ryosuke "Dr.R" Sakai, who has been behind a number of popular songs for artists
like SKY-HI and BE:FIRST.
Novel Core created the artwork for the release himself.
The EP will be available in three editions: a CD-only regular edition, and two limited editions that will add either a DVD or Blu-ray disc. The bonus discs will feature documentary footage from Novel Core's first one-man live I AM THE TROUBLE,
which was held at KT Zepp Yokohama this June, as well as a video with behind the scenes footage for iCoN.
Live footage of HAPPY TEARS feat. Aile The Shota and No Pressure from the I AM THE TROUBLE one-man, which featured Novel Core performing with a live band, can be viewed below. Both songs are featured on his second major album No Pressure, which was released this August.
