K-pop’s 2026 may not have delivered much of note so far, but it has given us a steady drip of new music from the expansive boy group project idntt. This is their third song I’m writing about this year (fourth if you count a “buried treasure” post). I guess having so many members and configurations lends itself to a prolific output.
Within their discography so far, All I Need feels like a pleasant little blip. It’s not much more than a “vibes” delivery method, offering the subdued, muted sound palette favored by so many artists these past few years. Yes, there’s a dance beat underpinning the whole thing, but it has very little presence. As a whole, the production feels drained of its color — almost as if it could be stock instrumentation. And rather than stretch itself to become anything memorable or unique, the song structure is a combo of chanted sing-talk and errant fragments of melody. It’s all very palatable, but does little to capture and maintain attention.
