When Ricky Starwave conceived the concept of his work, the OHWR project, as an "infinite band," it was like a revolving door of voices, with every release featuring a different one, naturally maintaining the air fresh and unpredictable. On "COOL GIRL," the project's first single, OHWR raises the bar, enlisting rising K-pop star Mina Lux for a track that oozes confidence and playful spirit.
"COOL GIRL" is a dancey, self-assured anthem that effortlessly exudes charm. Mina Lux's youthful vocals contrast beautifully with OHWR's adult-contemporary pop production. The track strikes a middle ground between slick pop songwriting and an underground dance-floor sensibility, balancing accessibility and cool. In terms of lyrical and thematic approach, the song is an anthem for identity and self-awareness. Mina Lux is the "cool girl" of the title, as she embodies that attitude wholeheartedly while navigating through a crowd, owning her space, and showcasing her confidence.
OHWR's vision to invite new collaborators for each release thrives on surprise, and Mina Lux's K-pop instincts add just the right touch of flair to start off the series. It's a clean, yet vibrant production that perfectly complements her vocals, allowing the message to take center stage. As a debut, "COOL GIRL" lays the groundwork for OHWR to serve as a creative playground, featuring collaborations with different people, and it spotlights Mina Lux's potential as an up-and-coming voice ready to command dance floors.
