INFINITE Jang Dong-woo is returning as a solo artist.
Jang Dong-woo will release his mini 2nd album "AWAKE" at 6 p.m. on the 18th through various music sites, announcing a glamorous return to the music scene.
"AWAKE" is Jang Dong-woo's solo album released 6 years and 8 months after his mini 1st album "BYE," which he released before enlisting in 2019, and it contains Jang Dong-woo's new music that will shake awake dulled emotions in repetitive daily life. Having overwhelmed stages with intense performance and energy, Jang Dong-woo reveals a new side as a vocalist through "AWAKE."
The title track "SWAY (Zzz)" depicts the process of finding sincerity amid the trembling feelings that ring like an alarm and the endless tug of war between people. Over the beat of the repeating alarm sound, it delicately captures the feelings at the moment when longing and stability that exist within the keyword love intersect.
In addition, six well-packed tracks prove Jang Dong-woo's limitless musical spectrum: the intro track "SLEEPING AWAKE," which expresses a dream; "TiK Tak Toe (CheckMate)," which expresses the point at which dominance shifts between each other in a game-like world; "Insaeng (人生)," which depicts a journey to find "me" amid anxiety and confusion; the fan song "SUPER BIRTHDAY," which contains a message to fans; and the Chinese version of the title track "SWAY."
In particular, following his previous work, Jang Dong-woo directly participated in the lyrics for the title track "SWAY" and "TiK Tak Toe" and "SUPER BIRTHDAY," and in the lyrics, composition and arrangement of "Insaeng," blending his own deep musical color and sensibility to prove further evolved musical abilities.
Filled with a total of six tracks, "AWAKE" consists of diverse melodies and flowing rhythms in each track. Beyond his role as INFINITE's main rapper and dancer, Jang Dong-woo's deeper emotion and perfect vocals are expected to take responsibility for global listeners' playlists.
Jang Dong-woo is also scheduled to hold a solo fan meeting titled "AWAKE," the same name as the new album, at the main auditorium of Seongshin Women's University Unjeong Green Campus in Seoul on the 29th. Since the new album will be released ahead of the fan meeting, it is expected to be a more special gift than ever both for fans who will attend the venue and for those who cannot join.
