– Hi!
Singer-songwriter WOO JEE WONย has finally dropped her first studio albumย [Homeground], consisting ofย 10 folk songs with ambient music elements. The new album wasย all recorded in a converted attic. Clickย hereย to listen to the full album!
Not many would have expected this kind of album coming fromย WOO JEE WON, since her former music was more pop-like, for example,ย ‘5 in the morning’. However she was the member of acoustic duo ‘HAIL’, so it wasn’t that random. Thus, you can say [Homeground] is the result of WOO’s whole music career.
The title song ‘I said I love you’ starts with a car door opening sound and all kinds of car sounds – gear shifting and turn signal sounds – are used throughout the song till the end. As the MV shows, it feels like you’re on a car with WOO JEE WON.
