[A-VER][B-VER] Global artist "WIM," emerging from the rapidly accelerating music scene of Bangkok, releases the next-generation city pop album "HONEYMOOD." "WIM," a global artist born in the fast-growing city of Bangkok, Thailand, known for its fashion and street culture. He gained attention as a member of the music unit "HYBS," which brought the current Thai music scene to global attention, performing at music festivals and releasing the collaboration single "I'm Blessed" with SIRUP. Now, after starting his solo career, he releases his second album, "HONEYMOOD." The title is a portmanteau of "Honeymoon" and "Mood." Stepping beyond the fresh popness shown in his previous work "NOICE," this album depicts everything from the sweet euphoria at the beginning of a romance to the sentimental fluctuations that visit in fleeting moments, all through silky R&B sounds. The album includes 10 tracks, featuring pre-release singles "Supernova," "Tokyo," and "Snacks & Wine." The chill vibes he was known for during his HYBS era remain, but are now complemented by more refined arrangements and mature songwriting. The collection of songs, themed around love, loneliness, and the fleeting beauty of everyday life, invites listeners on a sweet and poignant escape. It's a new classic of neo-city pop, perfect for drives or relaxing at night. This CD, the world's first physical release, will be available in two different jacket versions. A-VER features the original LP jacket. B-VER features a newly commissioned illustrated jacket by Nobumasa Hirai, who is known for his pop culture-infused illustrations.
