The language of music...
Language is not only valuable for sharing information. Language is
full of communication, sympathy, and the phases of the times. the music... In particular, popular music
is inherent in the code of communication, empathy, and the times beyond the existing language system, and in addition to that, emotion. That is why music is a 'common language' that transcends language.
Having watched 'singer-songwriter Nam Dong-hyun' since his debut, I
catch a glimpse of his own language in his music. At first, 'Namdonghyun's language', which was somewhat rough and unorganized,
began to have a very clear color as time passed. His language is colored , sometimes with the nostalgia of taking out his childhood diary, sometimes
with the desperate struggle to overcome the wall of reality, and sometimes with the earnestness not to lose his dream . Perhaps, at the root of his language lies the loss he feels
as an ordinary young man living in the present . The music of 'Nam Dong-hyun', a strategist with emotions planted in his heart, has a color. In terms of arrangement , I tend not to miss the trend of the global pop market . However, the melodies drawn on such music have the sensibility that only Koreans have. Korean 'folk' music that can convey the music intact with just one acoustic guitar

elements are building his unique musical world.
In that respect, 'Nam Dong-hyun' might be a 'strategist' who uses the 'Contrast' technique so well. If you are listening to his music, you can say, 'I'm excited, but I'm sick...' ',
'Sad but hopeful... There are many times when I feel emotions that mix emotions like '.
Music that has a trend and essential tradition at the same time! That seems to be the language of 'Namdonghyun Table'. The title of the first EP of 'Nam Dong-hyun'

defined by ( ) is '( )'.
The first track of this work also has the title '( )'
. This song will be familiar to those who have seen Nam Dong-hyeon's performance. This song, which is always played as the 'Intro' of his performances , is a track that seems to express
the feeling of being excited even though it is a treasure ahead of the first departure .
The second number, 'Blind', is the title track of this album.
This music, characterized by a synth sound reminiscent of a new wave,
embodies the 'aesthetics of contrast' unique to 'Nam Dong-hyun' once again with the top line of vocal melodies with minor sensibility. In addition, 'Singing Rap' participated as a 'feature' by rapper 'Oh Dam-ryul'
The part created a fruitful composition that enhances the perfection of the song. The loss of something important and
not being able to see anything, the darkness of the real world metaphorized as the city of the blind. Still 'light it up again'
A message of hope, 'I'll be there'! Isn't this 'hope' what I wanted to say in this album! want. The third track, 'The Mansion' , is a 'Namdonghyun-style' Pop music that
harmonizes the elements of PB R&B and Hip Hop appropriately .
The introduction of the song is comfortable enough to be easy to sing along to, but somehow sad.
However, the specific and slightly 'humorous' lyrics seem to somehow offset this sadness.
“Trendy, but the work that is more “sensible” than his age is 'The Grand Mansion'. The fourth song, 'Driver's License' , depicts those who are exceptionally given the right to drive
among those who run and run to reach their dreams and ideals . Although this song has the feel of
EDM and Eurodance music, which became his motto , it forms the framework of the overall arrangement, but his melody top line is composed of 'Namdonghyun's language' with an exquisite mix of folk and soul. This piece can be seen as the most appropriate number for the so-called 'Melting Pot', a genre in which various genres of music are appropriately mixed . The fifth number , 'Gongjeon', can be said to be the song where 'Nam Donghyun's essential sensibility stands out the most. “Are you among the embroidered stars ? I point with my fingertips again.
As the poetic lyrics say, “I became a star in the sky because I couldn’t leave,” it can be seen as the song that shows his emotions the best , and the lead sound that contrasts with the overall flow of the song is a characteristic number.
The sixth track, 'Captain Hook', is a teaser-style performance of the next song, 'The Boy Who Wanted to Become a Pirate'.
It is a song that imagines a boy who became a 'pirate' in a dream floating in the open sea, and it
serves to raise expectations for the last track, 'The Boy Who Wanted to Become a Pirate'.
The last track of this album, which contains 'Nam Dong-hyun''s childhood dreams, is always played at the end of his performances.
When he plays this song, his appearance is just the same as he dreamed of being a 'pirate' as a child. The way he climbs to the top of the concert hall and shouts 'I wanted to become a pirate!' to the audience is probably the 'message' he wants to convey
to the real world . When one door closes, the other door opens. What is 'Nam Dong-hyun' feeling and thinking through the release of the first EP '( )'? Maybe I'm pulling hard on the tip of my shoe once again to fill in these empty brackets. If he hasn't put anything in parentheses yet, that's no big deal.

If you put it in, it will be over. However, as a senior, I would like to say this to artists who are trying to communicate and empathize, and to
share their emotions through the language of music, no matter what the result.
“When one door closes, another door opens.” One day after a lot of time has passed, if you listen to 'Nam Dong-hyun's music again , I hope that you will be like 'Nam Dong-hyun', who sings
your own language proudly like now .
Congratulations on the release of your first EP...
