'Artistic Performer' TEN of NCT makes his solo debut on February 13 with his first mini-album, aiming for a perfect "TEN" who possesses both excellent skills and diverse charms.
The album, which bears TEN’s name as its title, promises to deliver a unique musical world that express TEN himself. Including the title track “Nightwalker,” the album consists of a total of 6 English songs spanning various genres, such as “Water,” “Dangerous,” “ON TEN,” “Shadow,” and “Lie With You”, which are expected to receive a warm response from fans.
The title track “Nightwalker” is a pop dance song that seamlessly combines a rhythmic and addictive beat, a subtle bass creating an intriguing atmosphere, and guitar riffs. The lyrics portray the act of being irresistibly drawn to an alluring presence, and TEN's unique and charming falsetto, along with the powerful synth bass in the chorus, heightens the tension of the song.
The performance for the title track includes mesmerizing choreography, featuring point movements that seem to hypnotize the audience by swaying hands left and right. The choreography also highlights detailed hand and arm movements, incorporating tutting, which enhances the fatal and enchanting atmosphere of the song. As the music intensifies towards the end, the choreography becomes even more vibrant and captivating.
Additionally, the 'Nightwalker' music video features an intriguing storyline where TEN transforms into a researcher in a laboratory, revealing another side of himself when confronted with specific time and circumstances. This concept, combined with TEN's 'Artistic Performer' persona, is expected to receive a positive response for showcasing his performance skills effectively.
Furthermore, starting with the “2024 TEN FIRST FAN-CON [1001]” in Seoul on February 16-17, TEN will embark on an Asian tour covering four locations, including Bangkok on March 2-3, Hong Kong on March 9, and Jakarta on April 27.
