TEN - The 1st Mini Album - EP

The title track, “Nightmare,” is the first song on the mini-album. This song captures the essence of TEN. His music is known for being Pop/R&B-infused sultry songs that make you sway your hips, and that’s exactly how “Nightmare” is. The songs start with the sounds of nature. Then we get a groovy beat that makes you instantly bop your head. TEN’s voice is heaven-sent. The siren-like vocals create the eerie feeling you get while watching the video. We all know TEN is an amazing dancer, and he did not disappoint. The dance moves are striking and incorporate so many different styles of dancing. Voguing, tutting, contemporary, and hip-hop are only some of the different styles you get to see. “Nightmare” is art and is a great work from TEN. 

The next song on the mini-album is “Water.” “Water” is a groovy dance track that will make you sway to the beat. The Latin influence in the song is an excellent touch to this track. “Can you please be my water, water, water?” are lyrics many will sing all day long. The strums in the beginning catch the attention of any listener, and this will definitely be a huge hit. The next song, “Dangerous,” is a song I see many people already talking about. The retro sound reminds me of a Charlie Puth or Michael Jackson song. “Dangerous” is addictive and grasps your attention the moment it starts. There is something about this track that is going to make you rewind it over and over again. It is a hit, for sure. 

The next song, “ON TEN,” incorporates the drill beat that’s been taking over K-Pop. The beat is so hype, and if this was played at a party, everyone would get excited. His fusion of Pop, R&B, and Hip-Hop makes for a dance track that's going to make anyone want to bust a move. “Shadow” is the next song on the mini-album. When many think of TEN music, this is what would come to mind. Something dramatic, laid back, and artistic. “Shadow” is a laid-back, vocal-based track. A track that you can just lay back and vibe out to. 

The last song of the mini-album is “Lie With You.” This track is a fun way to end this jam-packed mini-album. This adorable love song is lighthearted, bright, and colorful. The movie-style concept is the perfect touch to this artistic love song. It’s a song everyone is going to love.

TEN - The 1st Mini Album - EP was worth the wait. Hearing that TEN was going to have his first mini-album excited many fans, and now that it’s here, we're all smiling. TEN did an amazing job on this mini-album, and we can’t wait to see what things he has planned for the future.
