TXT's Yeonjun Makes Bold Solo Debut with 'NO LABELS: PART 01', Praised by Rolling Stone UK

Choi Yeon-jun, a member of the global K-pop sensation Tomorrow X Together (TXT), has officially launched his solo career with his first mini-album, 'NO LABELS: PART 01'. The album has garnered significant attention, including a feature from the prestigious British music magazine, Rolling Stone UK.

Rolling Stone UK highlighted Yeonjun's musical exploration and growth in a recent article on their official website. "Yeonjun took his first step with confidence. Like the album title suggests, he is already erasing boundaries in his own way. This is just the beginning," the publication stated, emphasizing his potential.

The magazine noted that following his first solo mixtape 'GGUM' released last year, which expanded his artistic boundaries, Yeonjun's new album delivers a more rugged and intense sound. The title track, 'Talk to You', was particularly praised, with Rolling Stone UK analyzing, "Yeonjun's unique vocal color, combined with the song's energy, doubles the appeal."

In his interview, Yeonjun shared his aspirations for the album: "I wanted to show who I am through this album. At the same time, it was a time for me to get to know myself." He also revealed his direct involvement in the creative process, from track production to performance planning, to craft his signature "Yeonjun-core."

Rolling Stone UK also delved into the album's B-side tracks, specifically highlighting 'Let Me Tell You (feat. Daniela of KATSEYE)'. They likened the song to the early solo work of Justin Timberlake and lauded the synergy between Yeonjun and Daniela, stating, "The chemistry between the two outstanding performers raised expectations. Their captivating vocal tones blended perfectly, and Daniela's Spanish lyrics were also charming."

Daniela herself praised Yeonjun, saying, "The chemistry with Yeonjun clicked naturally from the start. He was incredibly passionate and professional. I gained a lot of inspiration from Yeonjun's musicality and attention to detail." Yeonjun reciprocated the compliment, calling her "an artist who excels in both singing and dancing."

Concluding the interview, Yeonjun expressed his drive: "It's more fun to do things no one else has tried than to meet external expectations. I learn a lot in the process. I tried many new things this time, and I want to keep doing so in the future."

'NO LABELS: PART 01' is an album that captures Yeonjun as he is, free from labels and definitions, and it is receiving global acclaim for its authentic music and performances.

Korean fans are showing enthusiastic support for Yeonjun's solo activities. Comments like "It really feels like Yeonjun did all the music he wanted to do," and "The album quality is amazing... I'm so excited for the stage performances" flood online communities, cheering for his expanding musical spectrum.
