OnlyOneOf continues to excel as one of K-Pop's most experimental groups. They broke ground with the release of "libidO" last year, something entirely new in sound and visual, though circumstances rendered them unable to properly capitalize on their own success. After a tumultuous year, OnlyOneOf has returned at long last. With a grand total of nine tracks on the physical album (including the four tracks streaming on Spotify), Instinct Part. 2 is the sequel we’ve been waiting for.

“skinz”

Title track "skinz" picks up where "libidO" left off as a noise pop song over a monochromatic video featuring a lot of shirtless body rolling in black blazers with the sides cut out—and we wouldn't have it any other way. At first, the music video seems a little aimless as it flip-flops between the dance performance sequences and what appears to be B-roll footage of a day out and about, but this latter portion is all shot from the viewer's point-of-view as part of the group.

OnlyOneOf's lyrics, choreography, and style are overtly sexy, but this point-of-view filming adds a different kind of intimacy that lends itself well to making viewers fall in love with them—or at least, that's what's happening regardless of the artists’ intent. If their image isn't enough to seduce you, their unique discography just might do it, but only if you're open to something a little unconventional.

The song opens with what sounds like a static zip, and in the video, the sound is played over the image of their nails scratching the ground. Starting on this almost unpleasant note, "skinz" continues the industrial production style that's come to define the Instinct series, and it's less melodic than its predecessor, but it's compelling in a different way. There's a certain harshness to it, with the loud, rugged synth backing that, when layered with their breathy delivery, sounds nearly combative. The song is sexually charged through-and-through, but there's an element of unease that makes it feel like more than just that at its core.
