Global musician, actor, and ASTRO member CHA EUN-WOO unveils highly anticipated second mini album ELSE, encapsulating a sense of liberation as he steps out of the expectations that once defined him.
Framed by contrasting emotions, the album sways between raw instinctive energy and delicate, sensitive moments to weave a compelling sonic tale that leads us into his ever-expanding artistic style. Built on intimate vocal lines, genre-bending instrumentals and cohesive storytelling, the four-track project delivers an unfiltered trek through themes of instinct, emotion, and artistic freedom.
From the pop-funk notes of opening track “Sweet Papaya,” with its laid-back groovy and vibrant tropical tinges and the vintage disco vibes of groovy synth-led “SATURDAY PREACHER”, CHA EUN-WOO alluring vocals leads us into a sultry passionate world before the softer textured of cinematic pop anthem “Selfish,” showcases his versatility. Final track “Thinkin’ Bout U”, further hones in on the pop sensibilities with its warm yet emotive ballad-style exploration of longing.
Short, sweet and impactful, ELSE is a punchy and effortlessly charming project that pushes the reflective tinges of his first solo album ENTITY further into fresh new territories as he weaves a personal yet resonant narrative of embracing your true self.
Currently serving his mandatory military service, CHA EUN-WOO still continues to keep up a strong presence with his craft as he unfurls his evolution moving past familiarity into an alluring new chapter.
