    Sure, IM NAYEON is all glossy sweetness and may lack nutritional value, but does that really matter when the final product is this easy to sink your teeth into?

    As introductions go, this record makes for a warm and welcoming one – even if it doesn’t stray too much from what you’d expect.

    Both fun and grounded, the charm of Nayeon is irresistible and whether you enjoy K-Pop or not, this is worth checking out if you are a poptimist in general.

    Highlights include the Carly Rae Jepsen-esque, synth-washed jam "No Problem" (with Felix of Stray Kids) and the frantic sing-along anthem "POP!" Front-loaded with the immediate, pulse-pounding fare, IM NAYEON closes with a trio of sensual and smoothed-out tracks that would make early '90s R&B girl groups proud.

    This is a solid pop album and Nayeon’s charms shine. Her voice, visuals, and sweet attitude deliver a feel-good tracklist full of fluffiness and catchy hooks, but it’s also clear that her own colour still waits to be found.

    Blatant attempt to appeal to American pop audiences more, but it succeeds!

Apart from the title track and "Sunset," it doesn't have much of the K-pop "charm," but it sounds lot more unified and consistent than most K-pop albums do, with almost every track seeming like it had about the same amount of effort put into it. One of the year's top K-pop releases, my favorites are "Love Countdown" and "No Problem."… Expand
