Nxde

〈Nxde〉是韓國女子組合(G)I-DLE的歌曲，在2022年10月17日由Cube娛樂發行，為該組合第五張迷你專輯《I love》的主打歌曲。歌曲由成員田小娟作詞，並與Pop Time和Kako聯合制作。

從歌詞上講，〈Nxde〉既諷刺又帶有偏見，表達了賦予權力和批評社會標準的訊息，這些訊息用每個女人都會支持的直截了當的話來表達；High Quality Fish的孫承熙為這首歌導演了音樂錄影帶，而該音樂錄影帶在單曲發行的同時被發布到(G)I-DLE官方YouTube頻道。這首歌與其音樂錄影帶的靈感來自玛丽莲·梦露和班克斯在媒體和公眾對女性的物化和過度情色化方面啟發。

音樂與歌詞

作曲

〈Nxde〉由田小娟作詞，並与PopTime和Kako一起作曲和编曲；歌曲以E小調创作，每分钟136拍，全长2分58秒；它被描述为另类流行音乐，从1875年乔治·比才的卡门歌剧《爱情是一只自由的鸟儿》中采样一首咏叹调，以爵士乐的节奏和(G)I-DLE的耳语发声为特色。

The song builds around dynamic piano soundscapes, high-pitched strings, and background percussion, and is characterized by its intentional disruptive musical cacophony. Soyeon’s opening hook delivers a powerful melody and is later backed up by her member's vocal-driven chorus. The beginning of the song contains lyrics with the phrase, 'yeppi yeppi', which is Korean slang based on the word 'pretty' (yeppuda). A part of the song mentioned Lorelei, a character Monroe played in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (1953), as a philosophy-obsessed bookworm and self-made woman. The song deliberately uses the term 'Nxde' to tease 'bare' as true self rather than taking off any outer clothing – the song's last verse, 'I'm born nude/the lewd is you/Rude'.

主題

In I Love interview released on October 14, (G)I-dle gave a glimpse of the comeback concept with a montage-style monochrome video. In the clip, the (G)I-dle spoke in their native languages (Korean, Thai, Standard Chinese, and Taiwanese Mandarin). Shriya Swami of HITC calls it "a very raw and heart-touching experience."

專業評價

"Nxde" has received mostly positive critical reception, with most reviewers commenting on its theme of empowerment. Hien Nguyen of The Kraze noted, "By referencing Monroe, (G)I-dle shares the amazing and eye-opening message of how women and their intelligence are often diminished by society and brought down to only their beauty and bodies." Furthermore, Nguyen wrote, "The ending line, "I’m born nude/You’ve got a dirty mind/Rude," ultimately criticizes the over-sexualization of women and that women aren't prompted to be sexualized by merely existing in their natural state. Leaving aside the prejudices and stigma that society has put on women, (G)I-dle empowers women to embrace their true worth". Shriya Swami of HITC wrote: "In their empowering 'blonde' era, the girls are flawless with all the glitz and glamour as they deliver the statement of being more than just their looks." In Medium online publication, Kassy Menke opined that the song "lyrics' are strong and unapologetic. The dancing is flirtatious and full of confidence." Patchsita Paiculsiri from Mirror commended "(G)I-dle in making "Nxde" something that reminds Marilyn and communicates a new look of her to the society around the world." Writing for Genius, Sofia Gomez emphasizes that the album is to "fight misconceptions and stereotypes towards women" and "directly calls out individuals that look up the song for an objectionable" and "those that oversexualize women". The author also affirmed that "(G)I-dle has once again used their privilege as idols to bring awareness to the harm women endure from societal expectations. If you feel offended by their message, feel free to remember the introduction of the song." The Standard Pop'''s Hathaitarn Chatlertmongkol opined that (G)I-dle attempts to break the framework of gender stereotypes further in "Nxde", terming it a "redefine "Tomboy" in its own right".

概要與迴響

The video depicts the members as movie stars in "showgirl-inspired fashion" along with numerous references to "iconic" Marilyn Monroe moments. The music video shows "the ambivalence of a showgirl" who is not what the public wants on stage. It depicts situations where (G)I-dle have become showgirls and get judged biasedly through various scenes. The scenes in the video, whether in theatres, museums and press conferences, are spaces that catch the eye of the public. In another scene, Soyeon is seen live through her phone, and the screen is full of criticism that they are somewhat incompetent and disrespectful insults. The video also references Banksy, a street artist who excels at slashing social, economic, and political satire. His Love is in the Bin painting — depicting the infamous self-shredding of the piece after being auctioned off. In "Nxde", a nude picture was destroyed in the music video thus portray a rebellion against social norms breaking their limits to create something fresher and more awesome. Sofia Gomez of Genius regarded that "the self-destruction became a performative spectacle that rejected the commercialization of art with its sole intent of humiliation. In connection to (G)I-dle's message, both the painting and music video criticize how as art, they're undermined and reduced to what society gains from them — taking away their worth and significance." Towards the end of the video, it stated in bold red text on a black background that "Marilyn Monroe and Banksy inspire the video. Thank you, and love you".

服裝設計

Vogue Hong Kong noted that in the music video (G)I-dle wore 3 group costumes, and each member had at least 2 sets of fashion styles to play the classic style of Marilyn Monroe. Minnie wears a pink turtleneck suede dress from Vetements and a crystal necklace from Alessandra Rich to recreate Monroe's pink dress in the 1953 film Gentlemen Prefer Blondes and Yuqi replaced the 1955 film The Seven Year Itch classic white pleated skirt with a Zimmermann white dress, showing a youthful and energetic side, subverting the sexy stereotype of Monroe in the past. Soyeon's first look for "Nxde" featured a tapered top by Jean Paul Gaultier and Lotta Volkova, emphasizing the feminine aspect. People can't help but recall Madonna's Jean Paul Gaultier infamous cone bra for her 1990 Blond Ambition World Tour. The art sculpture Soyeon wore a costume made by Korean designer Kowgi, an intricately crafted pearl embroidery paired with retro silhouette tailoring. Greek statue Shuhua wore a Retrofête metallic green evening dress.

影響

The song's title, "Nxde", positively affected the search function of the social media portal. The word '(G)I-dle's nude' has occupied inappropriate keywords such as child nude and girl nude. The name (G)I-dle '(여자)아이들' in Korean comes from girl '여자' and children '아이들'. Although the song is stylized as 'Nxde', it is still written out in Korean as '누드'. Thus, the inappropriate keywords was pushed down and was replaced with '(G)I-dle Nxde' or '(G)I-dle nude' media article, pictures, videos, stage photos, broadcast captures, album or song information or etc. Oh Myung-gi of Dispatch'' wrote in his article, "One's unembellished, natural state was expressed using the word 'nude.' It shatters the R-rated images one associate with the word."
