This is Onew's first new album in about four months since their third mini-album "FLOW."
The title song "Winner" features a vintage drum sound, guitar and keys.
Bode leads the flow of this song. The strong band sound in the chorus is overwhelming, and it conveys the message that "we are all winners" no matter what the situation.
The song was written by Seo Ji-m, a lyricist who has written many hit songs including Onew, to enhance the perfection of the song. The music video released along with the song was shot in Prague, Czech Republic.
The film was shot entirely on location in Tokyo. The fragmented track preview footage is connected to form a single story, with the album's theme of "connection" as the main theme.
The plan is to evoke memories that we all have as we see ourselves in exotic landscapes that remind us of who we are now and who we were in the past.
In addition, this album includes the song "Pr," which expresses the precious feelings towards one's mother, who is like a shadow and is always close to one's heart but often forgotten.
"omise you", "Boy" with its sampling reminiscent of 70's disco music, reminds us of our childhood filled with dreams,
The lyrics, which metaphorically express the feelings of falling in love, are like a musical.
"tion," which takes aim at the lack of communication people experience as smart device use becomes commonplace; "Conversation," which focuses on people who acknowledge their loneliness in a busy world;
A total of six songs have been recorded, including "Banzai," which expresses the inner feelings of wanting to go outside despite being in a daze. "CONNECTION" strengthens the organic connection between Onew's inner and outer selves.
Following his third mini album "FLOW," Onew participated in producing and writing lyrics for all the songs on "CONNECTION," adding sincerity to the album.
The album is expected to evoke forgotten emotions through a variety of themes and invite listeners into a musical world that transcends imagination and reality, unique to Onew.
Meanwhile, Onew's "CONNECTION" will be released at 6 p.m. on the 6th.
