NAYEON – NA

Review

Nayeon's "Na" is all about shedding her old skin and introducing a bolder, more mature version of herself. The album is packed with hip-hop and dance elements, giving it a fresh and dynamic vibe that sets it apart from her work with Twice. Tracks like "ABCD" are total game-changers, with their hip-hop influenced pop dance style and creative lyrics that will get stuck in your head. This new direction is a major win, and it's clear Nayeon is taking risks and pushing boundaries. The result is an album that's all about self-discovery and empowerment.

One of the standout aspects of "Na" is its collaborations - Nayeon teams up with other artists like Sam Kim and Julie from Kiss of Life, adding a rich layer of diversity to the album. The tracklist is all about contrast, veering from energetic jams like "ABCD" and "HalliGalli" to more emotive tracks like "Heaven" and "Something". The album's title, "Na", meaning "I" in Korean, is all about Nayeon embracing her true self and showcasing her versatility as a solo artist. With "Na", Nayeon is forging her own path and proving she's a force to be reckoned with. The album is a testament to her growth and maturity, and it's an exciting direction to watch her take. - Livia
