WONHO - 1st Single Album [OBSESSION]

Singer Wonho has returned after approximately five months with a new album that showcases his diverse charms. 'Obsession' is Wonho's first single, proving him to be an 'all-rounder artist' recognized for his vocals, dazzling performances, and outstanding songwriting and composing abilities. Furthermore, following his previous work 'Blue Letter,' he participated in the lyrics, composition, and arrangement of all tracks once again, seeking to share his honest stories and deepened emotions. This album contains two songs through which one can feel Wonho's further grown musical capabilities. Wonho directly participated in the lyrics, composition, and arrangement of both tracks, capturing both his musical color and the completion of the songs. The title track 'EYE ON YOU' is a song that only Wonho could pull off, based on a house rhythm and featuring a composition and sound rarely seen in K-pop. It is an electro-house pop track where a sharp synth line and Wonho's characteristic restrained vocals harmonize, expressing a gradually building tension centered around a powerful bass and heavy drums. In particular, the fatal lyrics and subtly blooming sexiness are impressive amidst a rich sound that creates a dark and powerful mood while remaining minimal. The meaning of the word 'Obsession' is captured more vividly in the music video for the title track 'EYE ON YOU.' Through glamorous graphic direction that is both sensory and mysterious, it aimed to convey a dreamy yet mysterious atmosphere. The B-side track 'Somebody' is a song that starts with acoustic piano and synths, highlighting guitar and bass riffs. It is a pop-style song where a powerful and groovy bass sound creates a fantastic harmony with Wonho's vocals. Last year, Wonho achieved great success, sweeping global charts with his second mini-album 'Blue Letter.' Starting with 3rd place on the Worldwide iTunes Album Chart, he ranked in the TOP 10 of the iTunes Top 100 Album Charts in five countries and regions worldwide, including Mexico, Brazil, and the United States. Additionally, the title track 'BLUE' and all B-side tracks recorded high positions on the iTunes Top 100 Songs chart. Furthermore, with 'Blue Letter,' Wonho experienced the joy of winning year-end awards for the first time since his solo debut, receiving the 'AAA Best Musician' award at the 2021 Asia Artist Awards and the 'Male Solo Artist' award at the 2021 Hanteo Music Awards. Having solidified his title as a 'global trend' by showing surprising evolution and original musical colors with every album, Wonho will once again prove his irreplaceable presence with his first single 'Obsession.'
