<Album Introduction>
ONF (ONF) The 2nd Full Album Part.1 [ONF:MY IDENTITY]
The 2nd Full Album Part.1 [ONF:MY IDENTITY], containing ONF's unique identity and history.
ONF's powerful healing energy ‘The Stranger’, wishing strength to all who listen.
ONF's expanded music X performance, showing pleasant destructive power by becoming the ‘Only One’
The group ONF (ONF) expresses the most powerful strength that hope can offer.
ONF releases their 2nd Full Album Part.1 [ONF:MY IDENTITY] approximately 10 months after their 8th Mini Album [BEAUTIFUL SHADOW] released last April, and approximately 4 years after their 1st Full Album [ONF:MY NAME] released in February 2021.
Having captivated domestic and international fans with their grand narrative, unrivaled live performances, and stage presence through their 8th Mini Album, ONF attempts another transformation with their 2nd Full Album Part.1 [ONF:MY IDENTITY]. In this album, ONF presents a deeper worldview and music, delivering hope and the power to move forward to those in darkness, as travelers chasing dreams.
Once again, they collaborated with producer Hwang Hyun, who has been with them since their debut. Members Minkyun and Wyatt participated in composing and writing lyrics for the title track and b-side tracks, adding more meaning. In particular, ONF writes stories that only 'we' can tell, based on 'our' standards, not the absolute standards set by the world. The members unleash a synergy of bright energy, showcasing an upgraded musical spectrum, as well as their flawless image as 'performance masters'.
The 2nd Full Album Part.1 [ONF:MY IDENTITY], where you can glimpse ONF's complete music and performance, consists of a total of 6 tracks.
First, the title track ‘The Stranger’ is a pop genre song featuring a funky rhythm and impressive vocals that freely traverse a wide range. With the theme "Our story of chasing dreams," the members' charming vocal tones harmonize beautifully, showing strong appeal and a resolute determination to follow 'our' own path.
Not only the title track but also the b-side tracks boast high completeness. From ‘Night Tale’, which sharply and attractively depicts a wandering heart, to the vocal unit ON Team's R&B track ‘Nothing but a stranger (ON Team Ver.)’, which conveys unspoken feelings through melody and harmony, to the performance unit OFF Team's ‘Anti Hero (OFF Team Ver.)’, which shows diverse charms as vibrant as the song's variations, to ‘Good Place’, which offers a brief respite in busy daily life, and ‘Collab’, which contains a message for fans—this 2nd Full Album Part.1 is sufficient to solidify ONF's group identity as ‘Only One’.
01 The Stranger
Composed by Hwang Hyun (MonoTree), Minkyun (ONF), LUKE (MonoTree)
Lyrics by Hwang Hyun (MonoTree), WYATT (ONF)
Arranged by Hwang Hyun (MonoTree)
“Our story of chasing dreams.
Today and tomorrow, unknown to anyone and never visited before. Thus, every one of our days is unfamiliar.”
The title track ‘The Stranger’ is an impressive song with a funky beat and vocals that freely traverse a wide range, singing about a rough world with ONF's unique positive message.
After the rough rhythm and a storm-like vocal flurry, the scatting further enhances the diverse charm of the composition, and amidst the witty scatting and pleasant bassline, one can glimpse ONF's resolute determination to follow 'their' own path.
02 Night Tale
Composed by NILD, Hwang Hyun, LUKE (MonoTree), Minkyun (ONF)
Lyrics by Hwang Hyun (MonoTree), WYATT (ONF)
Arranged by NILD, Hwang Hyun (MonoTree)
“It was my heart that made me wander.”
‘Night Tale’ is an attractive Electro Funk track featuring a contrasting ensemble created by sharply repeating Synth Bass and restrained drums. By minimizing instrument usage, it clearly showcases the rhythmic vocals of 'skilled group' ONF.
03 Nothing but a stranger (ON Team Ver.)
Composed by minGtion (minGtion), JUNNY)
Lyrics by minGtion (minGtion), JUNNY)
Arranged by minGtion (minGtion)
“In a world named you, I am a stranger.”
‘Nothing but a stranger’ is a song by the vocal unit ON Team (Hyojin, E-TION, Minkyun), consisting of three vocalists. It's an R&B genre rarely seen in ONF's previous music, where the melody represents words spoken aloud, and the harmony (Chord) represents unspoken feelings.
Contrary to the calm words conveyed, the numerous unresolved dissonances, which are the heart of this song, combine with unstoppable emotions to express sincerity.
04 Anti Hero (OFF Team Ver.)
Composed by Hwang Hyun, Fuxxy, Any masingga (MonoTree), Jacob Aaron (THE HUB), WYATT (ONF)
Lyrics by Hwang Hyun (MonoTree), WYATT (ONF), GDLO (MonoTree)
Arranged by Hwang Hyun, Fuxxy, Any masingga (MonoTree)
“What is justice?”
‘Anti Hero’ is a song by the three-member performance unit OFF Team (Seungjun, WYATT, U), where Trip Hop and Rock elements alternate in its composition.
The vocals of OFF Team expressed in ‘Anti Hero’ clearly demonstrate why ONF is recognized for their solid vocals.
05 Good Place
Composed by HARING, Hwang Hyun, Kwon Ae Jin (MonoTree)
Lyrics by Hwang Hyun, GDLO (MonoTree)
Arranged by HARING, Hwang Hyun (MonoTree)
“Let's beautifully paint unfamiliar days.”
‘Good Place’ is a song that focuses on the original color of the unaltered House genre. It evokes happy imagination along with the distinct vocal colors of the six members. Especially, the low-pitched chorus suggests a brief moment of relaxation in busy daily life and offers warm encouragement.
06 Collab
Composed by Minkyun (ONF), Hwang Hyun, HARING (MonoTree)
Lyrics by Hwang Hyun (MonoTree), WYATT (ONF)
Arranged by Hwang Hyun, HARING (MonoTree)
“The process of completing a song is similar to how relationships connect and deepen.”
‘Collab’ is a song completed by member Minkyun, who gradually connected, drew, and colored the chorus he had sketched.
It contains a message for fans over a Bossa Nova rhythm, and the members' love for their fans beautifully spreads over the bouncy melody.
