WONHO Makes Grand Return with First Full Album 'SINまずEROME', Unveils 'if you wanna'

Singer WONHO has officially made his comeback with his very first full-length album, 'SINまずEROME'.

Released at midnight on the 31st, 'SINまずEROME' marks the singer's return to his global fans approximately 5 years and 2 months after his solo debut. The album delves into the physical and emotional responses left after experiencing love, moving beyond grand narratives to trace emotional arcs through changes in tempo, tone, and vocal delivery.

The title track, 'if you wanna', is a pop R&B song carrying a direct message of 'Let's get closer now if you want it.' WONHO's musical prowess is showcased as he participated in the composition and arrangement of the track. The dynamic bass, tight drums, and spacious synths create a minimalist groove, while WONHO's flexible vocals vividly portray the vibrant city nights and the burning passion within.

Across the album's 10 tracks, the same theme is explored with varying temperatures. 'Fun' captures the excitement and emptiness of a beginning, while 'DND' depicts the moment of cutting off the noise from an overheated relationship. 'Scissors' expresses the clarity that emerges with each cut through R&B grooves, and 'At The Time' and 'Beautiful' warmly revive the texture of memories with strings and layered harmonies. 'On Top Of The World' races forward with a neon retro mood.

Furthermore, 'Good Liar' calmly reflects on self-awareness after repeated deception, and 'Maniac' aggressively pushes the shadow of obsession found at the peak of heat. 'Better Than Me' concludes with a lingering sentiment, resolving the heart between certainty and regret with the line, 'There's no one who will love you as much as I do.' The album's strength lies in how each song's distinct vocal texture and breathing patterns cohesively fit within the overarching framework of 'symptoms'.

WONHO actively participated in the creative process, co-writing and arranging the title track 'if you wanna,' as well as writing, composing, and arranging 'DND,' writing 'At The Time,' and writing and composing 'On Top Of The World,' infusing the album with his signature musical color and emotion. This full-length album, prepared meticulously over a long period, allows him to fully display his solidified musical capabilities, achieving exceptional quality.

With his unique identity and evolved musicality poured into his first full album, 'SINまずEROME', WONHO is set to reconfirm his status as a 'master of performance' by giving his all on stage, leveraging the experience gained from his relentless global activities.

Meanwhile, WONHO will present the first performance of his title track 'if you wanna' on the KBS2 music show 'Music Bank' airing on the 31st.

Fans are showing immense excitement for WONHO's comeback, with comments like 'Always a trustworthy listen, WONHO,' 'Can't wait for a full album,' and 'His concept-absorbing ability is insane!' flooding online communities.
