The boundary-pushing artist Rainer Ild is renowned for his innovative approach to music and returns with his thought-provoking single ‘Honky’.

Rainer Ild is a composer who keeps pushing the limits of artistic expression. He has a bachelor’s degree in music and a varied portfolio of compositions for theatre, commercials, and movies.

This pop song’s engaging melody and insightful lyrics entice listeners to go on a voyage of reflection and self-discovery. With his fascinating performances, Rainer Ild captivates listeners with his unique musical skills and powerful stage presence.

‘Honky’ began as a joke, compared to the rest of Rainer Ild’s songs and album. He intentionally created a different release as his forthcoming album will be a bit of chaos. It started from a random pipe tapping his colleague did. He pulled his phone out, recorded a voice memo, laughed, and told his workmate that he was going to make a song out of that. He went home and fooled around with it never thinking that it would amount to anything. When Rainer Ild did a listening event for his friends and some music critics where he played approximately 25 songs, ‘Honky’ received the best feedback.

The ‘Honky’ music video, which was directed by the well-known directors Roland Abel and Raoul Kirsima, presents a bizarre and provocative visual depiction of the song’s themes. Rainer Ild invites spectators to go into the depths of their awareness by immersing himself in a universe where fact and imagination collide, relinquishing creative authority to the filmmakers. “Some people might think that we crossed every limit of decency with the Honky video – quite possible,” Roland Abel hints at the audacious nature of the video.

“‘Honky’ is more than just a song; it’s a poignant commentary on the façade of modern life. Rainer Ild delves into the themes of superficiality and self-importance, highlighting the absurdity of taking ourselves too seriously. In a world where authenticity is often obscured by pretense, ‘Honky’ serves as a reminder that we are all flawed individuals, navigating our way through life’s complexities,” Rainer Ild comments on the release.
