Whee In, 1st Full Album ‘IN the mood’
‘Sound source queen’ Whee In has released her first full album ‘IN the mood’.
Following her second mini-album ‘WHEE’ released last January, Whee In presents a two-part ‘Whee In’ identity through this album ‘IN the mood’.
If ‘WHEE’ showed ‘Deserve’ with light (輝) as a medium, ‘IN the mood’ aims to show the original human form ‘Beyond’ through the object ‘Whee In’.
This album includes a total of 11 tracks of various genres, including the title track “In The Mood”, “I Know I Know I Know (Beyond)”, “17 (Feat. Hwasa (HWASA))”, “Spark”, “Bite Me (Feat. Kim Haon (HAON))”, “Dance 4 You”, “On The Island”, “Aphrodite”, “Breeze”, “Bittersweet”, and “Here I Am”, which is enough to feel Whee In's limitless and wide musical spectrum.
In particular, the collaboration with ‘Hwasa’, a longtime friend and muse who inspires each other, and rapper ‘Kim Haon (HAON)’, who shows a unique presence anywhere, demonstrates the best synergy and enhances the completeness of the album. In addition, the last track “Here I Am” contains Whee In's musically versatile aspects as she wrote the lyrics.
This album will show various ‘IN the mood’ of Whee In beyond what the public thinks.

As the opening track of the first full album, it expresses the original human form of ‘Beyond’, the theme that runs through the album, with the message ‘I know that I will overcome myself in any situation’. Whee In's unique delicate emotional line is combined with the dramatic development of the song to maximize the grandeur.

The title song “In The Mood” is a medium-tempo pop genre with R&B added, and the lyrics contain the message ‘I want to help you find the Mood inside you’. If you were to describe the artist ‘Whee In’ with a song, it is a track that captures the aspects of an all-rounder well enough to think of it as “In The Mood”.

As the first official collaboration between ‘Whee In’ and ‘Hwasa’, it is a hybrid genre track that mixes UK Garage and R&B. It is an attractive song that expresses the lyrics ‘When I’m with you, I feel like I’m going back to being 17 years old’ in their own way.

06 Dance 4 You
