3 Things That Impressed Us About One Of NOMAD's Debut Title Tracks 'No Pressure'

NOMAD are the newest addition to the K-Pop landscape. The fifth generation boy group is made up of 5 members: DOY, SangHa, ONE, RIVR, and JunHo. Prior to their debut, they've built up mounting hype with various performance videos and by interacting with beloved fans. They've piqued the interest of thousands that are sure to multiply in due time.

The rookie idol group dropped their self-titled debut album just last night on February 28th at 6PM KST. The mini album has a total of seven songs, with 'No Pressure' and 'California Love' as their very first dual title tracks. Honing in on 'No Pressure', it would be an understatement to say the track exceeded all expectations, helping NOMAD make a firm first step in the thriving, yet harsh K-Pop industry.

Here are just a few things that impressed us about 'No Pressure' down below.

1. Coated In Hip-Hop Undertones

Many K-Pop artists dabble in pop-centric dance tracks or infuse verses with EDM-esque drops that get your blood pumping. However, NOMAD joins their idol colleagues using a title track with strong hip-hop/R&B undertones. The beat is straightforward and smooth, allowing the members to artistically ride on it from beginning to end.

2. Hip And Trendy Music Video

Upon your first watch through, the music video for 'No Pressure' might feel overly simplistic. But it's in this minimalistic nature that it truly shines. There's a certain charm to how the MV's produced that makes you focus more on the rookie boy group's music. While at times simple, it still remains hip and trendy, fully showcasing its hip-hop based charms.

3. Catchy And Meaningful Hook

The driving force of the track is its catchy, yet meaningful hook. "No pressure no diamonds" is repeated often, leaving behind a lasting impression. Its message is simple: it takes time and hardship for diamonds to come into fruition. Just like a diamond itself, NOMAD look to withstand the pressure and become a bright, shining gem for all the entire K-Pop world to behold.
