No Problem (feat. Felix)

This song is so retro, I adore it. It sounds like a song I’d listen to on a date at an ice rink! It’s really cute, and I love the addition of Felix’s voice. It’s really easy to get into at first listen so it didn’t take any additional replays for me to like it. I wouldn’t skip it and could see myself adding it to a playlist with retro vibes. (B)

POP!

Of course, this is the title track, it’s really catchy! I love the chorus and it’s definitely replayable. The song and the instrumentation sound like summer and are super fun to listen to. Nayeon’s voice is so addicting in this piece. (A)

LOVE COUNTDOWN (feat. Wonstein)

I loved this song immediately without replays. It’s a relaxing song and the beat is addicting. I knew this was going to be one of my favorites. The addition of Wonstein’s voice made the song even better. Sometimes features miss the mark for me, but both of their voices are amazing and together, enhance the song in all aspects. (S)

CANDYFLOSS

I love Nayeon’s voice in this piece, she has such a beautiful voice that I never really paid attention to in some of TWICE’s songs. I like the vibe of the song. It’s enjoyable but for some reason sounds more repetitive to me compared to other songs on her solo album. I don’t think I could listen to it several times in a row, but if it came on once in a while, it’d be a fun listen. (C)

ALL OR NOTHING

This song is good. It sounds really relaxing. It’s not my favorite song on the album, but it’s better than some others. I don’t really have strong opinions on this one because it’s just a really good solid song to have in her repertoire. It matches the vibe of the album. It’s something I could add to a chill playlist, but I don’t see myself going out of my way to listen to this one. (B)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU

This song is extremely calming. I could see myself listening to this after a long day of work to unwind, or popping this song on during my studies. The crackling at the beginning of the song is my weakness.. I would love to have this played at a birthday party, honestly. (B)

SUNSET

I loved it from the first listen. Sunset is an absolutely gorgeous song that showcases Nayeon’s voice beautifully. This song is so amazing, I love every aspect of it. It feels nostalgic and magical, and it’s everything. It’s absolutely something I can see myself listening to every night. I love her voice in this song so much. I can’t possibly give this song enough praise. (S)

Wrap-Up: 

This was the perfect solo debut for Nayeon. All the pieces suited her voice perfectly. The album was so cohesive, that not even one song sounded out of place. Felix and Wonstein enhanced the songs they were in and truly were a great addition to Nayeon’s album. This has honestly got to be one of my favorite releases of 2022 so far. I adored this album and I promise it will be on repeat.
