Reciend's Zena proved her singing ability with an authentic trot stage that differs in texture from idol vocal styles. She is evaluated as having naturally handled the bending technique characteristic of trot, wide-ranging vibrato, and delicate expression moving between chest voice and falsetto.
■ First Song Choice: The Challenging 'Yongdusan Elegy'
Trot singer Nam Seung-min analyzed Zena's stage song by song, paying particular attention to her first choice, 'Yongdusan Elegy.' The song is explained as a difficult piece demanding trot-specific expressiveness such as breath control and note bending.
Nam Seung-min pointed out that idol and trot vibrato differ starting from the size of pitch fluctuations. Trot requires larger pitch bends than typical idol singing techniques, demanding delicate control, and Zena is evaluated as having realized this skillfully.
He especially rated highly the passages in 'Yongdusan Elegy' where she moves between chest voice and falsetto, and the parts where notes are bent and processed. Rather than merely imitating trot vocal techniques, she understood the song's characteristics and brought out the details, he noted.
■ Mastery of 'Trot Eottae Age' and Medley Also Draws Attention
He analyzed that Zena's expressiveness also stood out in the second song, 'Trot Eottae Age.' Her way of subtly rolling pronunciation while delivering lyrics and her natural treatment bringing out the distinctive trot flavor in each phrase were noted.
Her handling of several trot songs as a medley also drew attention. Some evaluated that rather than appearing to have learned only the vocal style in a short period for content, she felt like a singer who had been exposed to trot for a long time. Above all, her choice and successful performance of the challenging 'Yongdusan Elegy' as her first song was cited as a strength.
Nam Seung-min gave Zena's trot skills 95 points, offering high praise.
