Midsummer's love overflows. The
words that flow over the rhythm, 'Word . ' When the wind passes over the water, the waves move smoothly. When the calm waves roll over the wide lakeside, the mind also starts to move. The first image that came to my mind while listening to Naul's single 'Word' was waves rolling over a lake. It was because of the free groove that goes up and down the surface of the water riding the cool breeze, and the elegant rhythm that stimulates the impulse. 'Word' is the second single from Naul's “Soul Pop City” project. It features a sweet love story that young people can relate to, a refreshing sound suitable for summer nights, and a mellow groove that can be enjoyed comfortably. It is different from the first “Soul Pop City” released last January, which was somewhat difficult for the public. The lyrics of the song are full of love. It contains the excitement of a man and a woman flirting on a clear summer night when the stars are pouring. The fluttering feelings of her man and woman are amplified
above the so-called 'Mellow Groove'. The electric piano and bass line are connected in a dramatic way, like her men and women shyly exchanging conversations.

The sensuous rhythm development that exudes splendor in calmness is trendy rather than retro, even though it is a soul mellow groove style from the 70s and 80s. The modern synth sound that adds a sense of refreshment and the warm sound of the drum machine 'LinnDrum' flow harmoniously without a sense of heterogeneity, enhancing the perfection of the song.

The name Ted Jensen written in the credits also stands out. Ted Jensen, who has led the famous recording company Sterling Sound, participated in mastering. He has participated in numerous albums such as "Hotel California" by the Eagles, "American Idiot" by Green Day, and "Come Away With Me" by Norah Jones.

The hot love of young people whose hearts are about to burst... If the cool breeze of the mellow groove accompanies them, the icing on the cake. (Written by Lee Yong-ji, popular music critic)
