Hajime is a collection of singles, each a delightful pocket of feelings and moods, all cast in her sultry R&B sound, stirred gently into a delicate rhythm by her salubrious voice, a soothing tonality that lulls you into trance-like appreciation. Opening with an older single " Bouquets," the pace of the EP is set, a fresh and fruity textured song with a sludgy drum sound that slowly pushes you to an understated chorus. "Sin" is a fresh song off the EP, a bouncy track that creates a firm base for Nu's airy lyrics. It’s a song that has a fluttery, lighter-than-air feeling. "Sandcastles" has larger, plush energy, and a stadium-made pop sound, which it accomplishes without leaving Nu's intimate voice behind, instead highlighting her vocal strength. "Gully" is a favorite for her day one fans, a funky bassline upon which drips over her voice like watering a thirsty plant. At this tempo,Nui's cadence is attached perfectly, a genuine, sweet song for cloudy days. "Illusions" takes a small turn, both vibe and tempo-wise, adhere to a more alt-indie vibe, a personal favorite on the project. "Pots and Pans" is another single from 2021 that, at the time of its release, hinted at the searching narratives of her new works. It’s a song about other people’s drama (always the best fodder for inspiration). User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
