The moment NCT fans have been waiting for has finally arrived: NCT Ten's official solo debut with his eponymous album, "TEN - The 1st Mini Album". Leading up to its highly anticipated drop, the idol released numerous concept photos and teaser videos to get fans hyped — and it surely worked as they cannot stop talking about it.
The self-titled album contains 6 tracks of pure ethereal beauty. They manage to promote Ten's pop star potential and reinforce his global appeal. While he has built up his image within the K-Pop industry, he has his eyes set on being an influence upon the rest of the world. And the song to kick things off on the album is his beloved title track, 'Nightwalker'. It might be an understatement to say that 'Nightwalker' knocked fans and critics off their feet. It checked off all the boxes, and more, necessary to contribute to a successful solo debut.
With that said, here are a few ways that Ten's 'Nightwalker' defies all expectations.
1. A Stunning All-English Track
With "TEN - The 1st Mini Album" being the start of a new chapter, it makes sense that he shows something different other than the typical K-Pop tracks we're so used to. With an all-English title track, it's as if Ten is saying he's ready to climb even further up the global charts. And with his multilingual capabilities, every line is said with such clear and precise diction that you cannot help but praise the idol for his efforts.
2. Addictive Melody And Vocals
Now, getting into the track itself, 'Nightwalker' manages to get your heart pumping from beginning to end. There's a seductive allure in Ten's vocals that draws you in from the starting note. He brings listeners down a path of intrigue and mystique with its bass-heavy instrumentals. And it is with Ten's attractive, honey-like vocals that 'Nightwalker' is perfectly packaged into a track fans cannot help but have on repeat.

Vocally, 'Nightwalker' is an exquisite treat and the same can be said for its visuals too. Although the music video doesn't show the entire choreography, the bits we do get speak to Ten's talent as one of the most celebrated dancers of his generation. There's theatric artistry, complex technique, and masterful execution that would not be possible by anyone else. The performance aspect showcases Ten's incredible growth as an artist. And it also serves as promise that he's only going to get better from here.
