I love that the packaging is simple and I'm glad it wasn't in a packet like his first mini album Love Synonym Part 1: Right For Me, I also love that they kept the colours of the album the same, connecting them together. I love the photo book, but I'd be surprised if I didn't, I love the styling and setting as I think the white background makes Wonho stand out so much more.
The album itself is amazing and continues to show of his vocal skills from his solo debut, it's another great release from Wonho.

I fell in love with Lose as soon as I heard it, I love the melody and I love how soft and subtle Wonho's vocals are in this song, and while I think it has the same style as Open Mind, it definitely gives off a different vibe.
Lose

I think Devil fits Wonho perfectly as for me, even from his MONSTA X days Wonho has been the embodiment of sex appeal and this track screams sultry and sex appeal, allowing him to show that he's more than just his body and image. His voice in this song is breathtaking and I could listen to him seducing me all day everyday.

I love the beat and melody for Best Shot, it definitely has a different vibe from the previous tracks as well as being more upbeat. I especially love the chorus, and while I don't think his voice is at it's strongest in a higher range, it still pulls it off perfectly.
Best Shot

Just seeing a song called Weneed, I knew it was going to be a fan song as his fandom is called WENEE. I don't think Wonho will ever not be grateful to those that stuck by him and waited for him to return and still stick by him. As much as I was gutted to see him leave MONSTA X, after how desperate he wanted to debut, I personally think it's now his best move, as we're getting music from him that we wouldn't have if he was still in the group. Even though they don't talk about it, I think MONBEBE and WENEE, know that they still all get along, hang out and talk and know that they all support one another. I think this track just shows how grateful he is to his fans and I think with the melody and his vocals being so soft in this track shows his sincerity.
Weneed

Ain't About You (Feat. Kiiara) is one of my favourite tracks from this album, I love the melody and I would love to see him sing this song live with Kiiara. I think Kiiara's vocals fit perfectly with Wonho's and I would love to see more collaborations between the two of them. This is one of those songs that whenever it comes on, I sing a long from start to finish and I can't help but feel it gives Wonho a bad boy vibe.

I love the melody for Flash, I think it fits perfectly with Wonho's soft vocal tones, I think this is one of those songs that just melts the senses, and hearing him rap makes this song perfect.
Flash

I love that Wonho always seems to give us English songs, especially with his title tracks and it was no different this time round with Lose (English Ver.).

The melody for Outro: And is stunning, I could listen to it all day, it's such a beautiful track to end the album with and complete his Love Synonym album series with.
Outro: And

I love that the tracks on this album have the same style of vibe with that they have a softness in the melodies that fit Wonho's vocals perfectly. Personally for me, this album is definitely one for the senses.
With each comeback you can see how much Wonho has grown and become more confident and comfortable being a soloist, his next comeback has been announced and I can't wait to see what he brings us next and will it knock my favourite title track from it's top spot.
