Brief Review by: jct

Jung Jin Woo caught my attention back in Kpop Star 5, when he first presented on stage with his self-composed song, Satellite. His style. His voice. The lyrics. I love it! I am so happy he released his debut mini-album this year, which is entitled, In My Room.

All the songs are enjoyable from the beginning to the end.  The album displays passionate vocals, great lyrics and tasteful song production.  I really enjoy the title track, "B Side U" which is about telling a loved one not to be afraid as he will always be by her side, as he sings, "Dear love, Don't be afraid, even when everything changes/ if you stay there, i'll be side you".   I also love the bridge "...But I don't need anyone but you/ without you, it's like a blackout. You know it, turn on the light."

Jin Woo definitely has lots of potential as he wrote most of the songs himself and composed some of them. I do find that R&B/Soul seasoned with some hip hop suits him best rather than ballad tracks though.  Overall, Jung Jin Woo left a strong impression with In My Room.
