@idakudo‘s “Proud” resonates as a powerful anthem of self-assertion, captured by her own words: “Proud is a call to stand up for yourself no matter what you’re struggling with. Sometimes you have to put your foot down and say ‘enough is enough’ to stop destructive thoughts and influences from getting you down. With ‘Proud’, I want to remind us that we all possess an unshakable worth.” This statement encapsulates the essence of the song, reinforcing its message of resilience and self-worth amidst life’s challenges.
“Proud” not only showcases Ida Kudo’s Scandinavian-Asian fusion but also infuses elements of hip-hop attitude and 50s orchestration style. The fusion of these diverse influences adds layers of complexity to the song, with its rough arrangement and bold beats paired with retro-inspired instrumentation. Ida Kudo makes this complex, multilayered song using just a few sounds and theoretically a simple construction. Her powerful vocals effortlessly navigate between moments of vulnerability and strength, embodying the spirit of resilience and self-empowerment at the core of “Proud”. It’s a testament to her artistry and ability to push musical boundaries with finesse and flair.
