On the 7th, Onew posted an album preview of its second full-length album 'PERCENT(%)' on its official YouTube channel.
The video released includes the title track from the second studio album 'PERCENT','Silky','Caffeine','Marshmallow'Confidence','Okay for a long time','Far Away','MAD(Mad)','PERCENT(%)(%(%))','Epilogue'Epilogue'
Following its previous works, Onew directly participates in the overall song work to demonstrate its musical capabilities. Eleven emotions that flow like swimming along the rhythm of life are melted one by one in each song. In particular, the title song 'ANIMALS' signaled a constantly changing narrative by combining Onew's vocals and various instrument sounds.
In addition to this, 'PERCENT' includes 'Silky', which has a soft and languid mood, followed by a groovy feeling of 'Caffeine', in which the guitar riff and bass line are firmly centered, 'Marshmallow', which captures all the delicate tension and relaxation of the flow of emotions, 'Confidence', which rhythmically unravels the flow of emotions and reason, and 'Okay for a long time' which adds lyrical depth with a unique texture of analog synth.
It then boasts a high degree of completion in a variety of genres, including 'Far Away', which is a witty expression of alternative rock sound in the early 2000s, 'MAD', which depicts anxiety and longing after separation by contrasting acoustic guitar with rough-textured drums, 'PERCENT(%)', which creates an experimental atmosphere with unpredictable snare sound, 'EPILOG', which clearly reveals the texture of emotions with a genuine Onew's vocal without exaggeration, and 'Happy Birthday', where bright and positive energy gives a festive atmosphere.
The second full-length album 'PERCENT' is a unique record of emptying, filling, and completing. Onew fills 100% by forming a complementary relationship with the countless things we meet in our lives. Everyone cannot be complete alone, but they say that imperfect beings are also beautiful in themselves.
Onew's second full-length album 'PERCENT' will be released on various music sites at 6 p.m. on the 15th.
