Oh Songhui : Lover's Sight

Looking back, Oddsong had an unsustainable release schedule. I expect a busy artist to have a single or two and EP or full length in a year. Oddsong went through multiple singles, EPs, and full lengths. And listening to songs across different releases, the music direction was everywhere. Now Oddsong is Oh Songhui and Lover’s Sight is a new direction that sounds like it comes with patience.

Early Oddsong was more instrumental electronic and later songs had pieces of melody and deliberate steps. The start of Lover’s Sight is a rebirth. “Hansel and Gretel” is mood-first, focusing on interweaving melodies with a slower tempo. It could be that this song is a direct response to the frantic energy the Oddsong presented.

There’s also a larger R&B presence now. The instrumentals continue to pull from the foundational composition that Oh Songhui polished before, but it feels freer. There’s less tension and more comfort.

While not the main single, “헤어지는 날에” is a standout track. The tempo rolls easily and the different layers present a strong new attitude. Oh Songhui is reintroducing herself with Lover’s Sight and shows that there’s nothing to prove. Either enjoy the music or walk away.

I think that Lover’s Sight is more an intersection between R&B and electronic music with funk and jazz making appearance. But songs like “gut” make me think that Oh Songhui could easily explore city pop. “I’m in love” proves this point even further. If you need an album that’s focused on melodies and mood, this is a great listen.

As a new start under a new name, Lover’s Sight sets up a strong foundation. Anyone can enjoy every song here, and shows that Oh Songhui can produce. The question is what direction will she follow?
