Having emerged as a solo artist out of
Tomorrow X Together
with his frenetic 2024 single "Ggum,"
Yeonjun
further stakes his claim as one of the more individualistic K-pop voices with his 2025 EP
No Labels: Part 01
. Here, he builds out his ear-popping aesthetic, bringing together a mix of styles from clubby, artful vibes. Kicking things off is "Talk to You," a rhythmically kinetic anthem that smartly evokes the mid-'90s experimentalism of artists like
U2
and
Beck
. We also get the trap-ish synth-core hooks of "Forever," midtempo hip-hop swagger of "Nothin' 'Bout Me," and the falsetto-steeped R&B romanticism of "Let Me Tell You," the latter a duet with
Katseye
's
Daniela
. All of
hangs together nicely, showcasing
's charismatic croon and deft knack for making his varied stylistic influences all his own. ~ Matt Collar
