Musician Eric Nam's third mini-album 'Honestly' filled with 'honest music'

Eric Nam, who was synonymous with sweet and romantic men, returns with music quite different from his previous image. Through the mini-album 'Honestly', which will be released after two years, they are trying to show a different side of themselves that they have not been able to show until now, but that they really wanted to show.

The mini-album 'Honestly' was made up of only the music Eric Nam really wanted to do. Eric Nam directly participated in writing lyrics and composing for all the songs and producing the album, filling it with his own color and solidifying his position as a musician once again.

In addition, Epik High’s Tablo and Urban Zakapa’s Hyunah Cho participated in the lyrics, as well as Camila Cabello, Justin Bieber, Martin Garrix, Khalid, Alessia Cara, Kaigo, Lady Gaga, Kehlani, and Jason Derulo. A large number of leading producers who have worked with the hottest artists around the world participated, resulting in an album with a more complete musical quality.

Eric Nam also filmed a music video in an all-location location in Mexico to clearly show his changed image through this album. Let's listen to Eric Nam's 'honest' music that will be heard and shown through the third mini-album 'Honestly'.

Lyrics by Eric Nam, Jay Kim

Description (Original):

뮤지션 에릭남의 ‘솔직한 음악’으로 채워진 세 번째 미니앨범 ‘Honestly’

달콤하고 로맨틱한 남자의 대명사와도 같았던 에릭남이 그 동안의 이미지와 사뭇 다른 음악으로 돌아온다. 2년만에 발매하는 미니앨범 ‘Honestly’를 통해 지금까지 보여주지 못한, 그러나 꼭 보여주고 싶었던 색다른 모습을 꺼내 보이려 한다.

미니앨범 ‘Honestly’는 에릭남이 진정 하고 싶었던 음악들로만 이루어졌다. 에릭남이 수록된 전곡의 작사 및 작곡, 앨범 프로듀싱까지 직접 참여해 자신만의 색깔로 가득 채웠고, 뮤지션으로서의 입지를 다시 한 번 굳혔다.

또한, 이번 앨범에는 에픽하이 타블로 및 어반자카파 조현아가 작사에 참여했음은 물론, 카밀라 카베요, 저스틴 비버, 마틴 게릭스, 칼리드, 알레시아 카라, 카이고, 레이디 가가, 켈라니, 제이슨 데룰로 등 전세계적으로 가장 핫한 아티스트들과 함께 작업해온 유수의 프로듀서진들이 대거 참여해 음악적으로 더욱 완성도 있는 앨범이 탄생했다.

에릭남은 이번 앨범을 통해 확실하게 변화한 모습을 보여주기 위해 멕시코 올 로케이션으로 뮤직비디오도 촬영했다. 세 번째 미니앨범 ‘Honestly’를 통해 들려주고, 보여줄 에릭남의 ‘솔직한’ 음악에 귀를 기울여 보자.

1. 솔직히 (Honestly…)
Lyrics by Eric Nam, Jay Kim
Composed by Jake Torrey, Rachel Siegel, Eric Nam
Arranged by 장이정, Van Dejelou
이번 앨범의 타이틀곡으로, 중독성 있는 훅과 포스트 코러스의 신디사이저 사운드가 매력적인 트렌디한 팝 장르의 곡이다. 연인과의 이별을 고민하고 있는 한 남자의 솔직한 속마음을 노래했다.

2. Potion (feat. Woodie Gochild)
Lyrics by Tablo, Woodie Gochild
Composed by Trevor Brown, Zaire Koalo, Brian Lee, Talay Riley, Eric Nam
Arranged by Trevor Brown, Zaire Koalo
에릭남이 지금까지 보여준 적 없었던 스타일의 음악으로, 에릭남의 색다른 변화를 확실하게 느낄 수 있는 곡이다. 스페니쉬 기타 베이스가 돋보이는 라틴 장르의 곡으로, 에픽하이의 타블로가 작사를 맡았다. 또한, 우디고차일드가 피처링에 참여해 곡에 풍성한 매력을 더했다.

3. This Is Not A Love Song
Lyrics by 조현아, Eric Nam, Jay Kim
Composed by Johan Errami, Jake Torrey, Eric Nam
Arranged by Johan Errami
서정적인 발라드 곡으로, 어반자카파의 조현아가 작사에 참여했다. 사랑하는 연인에게 사랑 노래를 선물하고 싶었지만 연인이 떠나서 이제 사랑 노래가 될 수 없다는 내용을 담은 노래이다.

4. Lose You
Lyrics by Chris Wallace, Ingrid Andress, Eric Nam
Composed by Chris Wallace, Ingrid Andress, Eric Nam

이번 앨범에 수록된 첫 번째 영어곡으로, 에릭남의 감미로운 보컬이 인상적이다. 권태기인 연인에게서 느껴지는 거리감을 잘 표현한 곡이다.

5. Don’t Call Me
Lyrics by Jason Yik Nam Wu ‘Rabitt’, Roland Spreckley, Jake Torrey, Eric Nam
Composed by Jason Yik Nam Wu ‘Rabitt’, Roland Spreckley, Jake Torrey, Eric Nam
Arranged by Jason Yik Nam Wu ‘Rabitt’
이번 앨범의 두 번째 영어곡이다. 중독성 있는 신디사이저 베이스가 매력적인 팝 장르의 곡으로, 집착하는 ‘여자 사람 친구’에게 자꾸 밤 늦게 연락 하지 말라는 내용을 담았다.
