5TH MINI ALBUM ‘OO-LI’ REVIEW

Deep Deep Sleep

The first track from Deep Deep Sleep has an R&B atmosphere that captivates you with its sweetness, softness, and dreaminess. With headphones on, it sounds as though he is personally whispering to you as you listen to this song.  WOODZ revealed during last night’s live that he changed the beginning of his voice and sang the entire song himself.

Journey

The title track from OO-LI’s album, Journey, is a song in the pop genre with excellent instruments and vocals. 

The magnificent cinematography of the music video, which also has an incredible soundtrack, appears to depict WOODZ’s journey of venturing outside of his comfort zone and accepting new difficulties for his personal growth and evolution.

In yesterday night’s live, he stated that he sang in the chorus alongside two other people, as was required for that type of chorus. 

Memorable lyrics from the title track, ‘Journey’

I might lose myself when I leave but

Deep inside my heart, on my little island

Is where I have kept myself intact

So I’m ready to journey again

Drowning

Drowning, the third song on this album, features a medium-tempo pace and his vocals astonish us again with his range. It’s impossible to avoid feeling like your heart is being torn out by the song’s lyrics, which keep repeating “Oh, I’m drowning.” There is also a strong sense of nostalgia in the music.  This is WOODZ’s favorite track on the album, according to him.

Busted

The song “Busted” is a lot of fun to listen to. It starts with WOODZ’s vocals, and then more elements are gradually introduced, bearing the appearance of an impending climax. This song has a lot of energy, and you’ll like hearing the guitar riffs all the way through it. Additionally, there is a rap segment in the bridge section that intensifies the music even further.

Who Knows

This album’s “metal track” can be characterized as heavy and unquestionably hot music! Furthermore, it reinforces the song’s powerful message: “Who knows who you are, I don’t care who you are, Who knows who you are, I live the way I look.”

Your ears will be scratched by the beautiful guitar solo at the end! This song was the last one to be finished, according to WOODZ, who said he finished it barely two hours before the tracklist meeting!

Ready to Fight

This song embodies the purest definition of the term “scratches” in the garage rock genre. In addition to his singing and instruments, this leaves a lasting impact since it also contains foul language, slang, and the use of vulgar terms.

Abyss

The rock ballad Abyss has a mellow, alternative atmosphere that just hits you square in the gut thanks to WOODZ’s vocals and chords. Abyss opens with quiet guitar strumming and escalates to an arrangement of distorted riffs that serve as the song’s most memorable portions, evoking a relaxing to nostalgic emotion.
