I.C.E.'s musical debut was marked by the track “Slow Mo.” The song was a collaboration with BEAUZ and Cydney, released under the Strange Fruits label. It immediately captivated a wide audience, showcasing I.C.E.'s smooth flow over vibrant pop and EDM beats. This initial success was just a sample of what was to follow.

More recently, he’s been diligently working in the studio, producing new captivating music. His latest single, “Like You,” strikes a balance between the upbeat pop rhythms and the rhythmic flow of hip-hop. The production by Leshawn Harris adds the final touches to make the track shine and propel its lyrical content, with beats that underscore the emotional weight of every word.

I.C.E. sings about the most honest confession of love. “I see her smilin then my day is never borin,” he says, providing a vivid depiction of his emotions. However, he later takes us to the dark side of this obsession that simply won’t let him move on. “I think about the days with her now I can’t compare,” he admits, full of frustration.

The flirtatious pop-rap track especially goes into the theme of comparing every potential love interest to the one who slipped away. This message is magnified in the accompanying music video, directed by Daniel Carberry. The visual follows I.C.E. navigating through various colorful dates, each a step in his journey of emotional recovery.
