For the OMEGA X sub-unit, this release marks their third musical project — following debut EP N in June and their digital single 'LOVE +' in September. As the quartet is constantly looking for ways to refine their sound to discover the true "OX:N" groove, SWAY showcases the artistic growth that they have achieved along their journey since the launch of their unit.
SWAY traverses the worlds of restriction, solitude, and longing, hoping to touch the hearts of listeners if the themes resonate with them. Etched into each track is the sub-unit's signature musical flair that, in turn, makes the album a sonic soundscape wrapping the listener in the moving messages and meaningful lyrics.
OX:N also explores various genres in this record. Jaehan and Yechan of OMEGA X and sub-unit OX:N took part in writing and composing the title track 'SWIRKY', which is a high-energy dance-pop track that is about breaking free from your comfort zone and discovering new beginnings on your own.
Yechan reminisces on the experience of being able to work on 'SWIRKY' and states, "I remember sharing a lot of laughter while working on ‘SWIRKY,’ so it feels great to finally release it. I hope our energy is delivered well when we perform this song on the stage."
On the other end of the spectrum is the pop-rock track 'SOMEBODY', which was written and composed by Xen. The track expresses the relief and happiness that comes with being set free from the darkness of solitude — finally being able to see the light once again.
Xen expresses his process behind creating the track as he shares, "While working on ‘SOMEBODY,’ I tried to incorporate new attempts to the music style I’ve been sharing so far, and I hope everyone will like it. I’m also very excited to meet you all with great music once again, so please send a lot of love and support for our new music."
With SWAY, OX:N cements their evolution as artists unafraid to push creative boundaries while deepening their emotional connection with fans.
