Hii ~ So, I was wondering when Nari do akmu's songs would be a feat with a male singer or would she sing the male parts too? and if it is a feat, what idol would it be?
Ooo okay this is a very good question. I didn’t really realise that I hadn’t ever addressed this anywhere so thank you for asking haha. Anyway it’s different for each song so I’ll go through each one.
(sorry in advance for the long reply)
Time and Fallen Leaves: Of course this is the iconic SM Rookies collaboration between Mark and Nari (their friendship and love for music is actually so wholesome)
Dinosaur: This is another memorable song as it marked Nari’s official debut with NCT U. The duo for this song are NCT members Jaehyun and Nari.
How can I love the heartbreak: For this song although it is mostly Nari singing there is a featuring artist for Chanhyuk’s parts of the song. Funnily enough the featuring artist isn’t actually an idol, it’s her older brother. He still has credits in the song but he has never performed the song outside of the recording and there aren’t even any pictures of Nari’s family members released to the public.
FREEDOM: Okay so originally I had thought Nari would sing this all herself but after receiving this ask and listening to the song many times on repeat I realised it would work a lot better as a collaboration. There were two main candidates for this collaboration but given that Nari is a featuring artist in Suho’s ‘For You Now’ I decided to go with EXO’s D.O. I am genuinely curious, do you (or anyone else who wants to share their opinions) think this song should have a feat. and if so who do you think would fit the song?
Whale: This song is sung entirely by Nari. I’m not a professional vocal trainer or singer so I am not an expert in these things but my idea for Nari is that her voice tends to extend lower than an average born female vocal range, however over the many years of training and practice as an idol she has managed to extend her vocal range into higher octaves. There would still probably be changes in the actual pitch of the song but Nari sings the song in it’s entirety.
I realise you were probably only asking for her solo songs and that I almost certainly went overboard with my answers but I just picked out all of the AKMU songs on my Nari discography playlist so that’s how this happened. Hopefully it wasn’t too painfully long and boring to read. Thank you so much for the question, I’m so glad you asked it!!!
Thank you for taking your time to read my work and send this ask, it means so much to me!!! Hope you are staying safe and having a good day/night wherever you are in the world. 💚
