Oh Yes! He had the skill, he had the will, but just over a year ago a certain musician was sure he didn’t have the looks to fit the entertainment bill. All he asked of listeners was to give his music a chance. And give him a chance they did. These days there isn’t a pop lover in the land who can’t name at least one of Seksun Panprateep’s (Oh) songs. His debut album, Oh, touched the hearts of listeners and left them calling out for more. And more they will get. The 29-year-old singer and songwriter has just released his second album, Yes!, and it looks like he has got himself another surefire hit. unexpected success He found more than just a small group. But despite his many fans, Oh said he wasn’t going to let the success of the first album change the way he worked on the second. “When I started work on the second album, I wasn’t going to let success become the main issue,” Oh said. “If I concentrated too much on pushing the new album to be better and even more popular, I was worried that the quality of the work wouldn’t be very good.” sticking with his
style And Oh still writes all the lyrics and music himself. “I still work all of the process by myself,” he said. “I still find all of the inspiration for the songs from my own experiences and stories.” But there is a bit more creativity in the style of Yes!. Sure his successful pop and acoustic style is still at the heart of it, but Oh has also blended R&B, rock, Irish, jazz, acappella and rap styles into various tracks. “My music is still based on pop, but I don’t want to call myself a pop singer because that would limit me to creating certain styles of songs.” With his success and fame has come greater opportunity for Oh to work with other musicians. In order to try all of the blended styles on his new album, Oh asked several of his friends to make guest appearances on Yes!.

I don’t know why I chose this style, but I wanted to try it.” no sellout “I will continue to write songs and make music as long as people still want to listen to my style,” Oh said. “But the most important thing is that I won’t change my style to do just what the masses want. I don’t want to be just another musician who changed to be popular.” Luckily for Oh, it seems
his fans like him just the way he is.
