First Time Hearing 나얼 (Naul) - Gloria MV | REACTION 🔥🔥🔥 

Of course I respect the original song. When Na-ul tried to ask permission of cover the song from them, they refused it because they didn't know him at all. But after Na-ul sent his demo song to them, they allowed to cover Gloria right away. Basically Na-ul respect and love to 60-90s black music. Na-ul is very famous singer of R&B/soul and song writer in South Korea. He tried to make R&B/soul songs that Asian make and sings from long time ago. So he is now a great musician who has built his own music world. Please don't indiscriminately denigrate and ignore him without any information about him.

Naul has a huge huge love for Soul music and you can really hear it in his voice! thank you for the reaction!!! DeepL translated from the original video description(there might be a few mistakes): Naul, over the top of his game Falsetto, that pious little phrase 'Gloria' The second single from Naul's second studio album, Sound Doctrine, was cut. A remake of "Gloria," the 1976 hit from Enchantment, was chosen as the second single. If the first single, "Memory of a Blank Spot," was a consideration for the public, the second single, "Gloria," was a reflection of naul's own ambitions. First of all, he sang the lyrics in English, and secondly, he kept the feel of the original song from 1976. Why would Naul bring back a 40-year-old heavy hitter for his album? His reasons for remaking Enchanted's "Gloria" boil down to four things. First, he wanted to fully capture his passion and homage to soul music on his album; second, he wanted to showcase the meaningful challenges of being an Asian soul singer; third, the rarity of the remake, which has only been covered once before, by Jesse Powell in 1996; and fourth and final, the song's immense height and technique. Breathtaking high notes that would challenge even the best of us. The desire to reach those same high notes was probably stronger for Naul than anyone else. The dazzling vocal technique, perceived as something only black people could do, must have also fueled his desire for soul. A key feature of this remake is that it is sung in the original style. Even the performance was copied from the original score, and Naul sang in the same notes without altering the original. According to a source, it was the first time he had ever seen Naul struggle so much during the recording process, so you can imagine his purpose in choosing this song and the sense of accomplishment he must have felt when he finished it. The original feel of the song was preserved, so the colorful adlibs that characterized the original song were also recreated. Fans who were disappointed that Naul's explosive adlibs didn't appear in his first single, "Memory's Empty Place," will be pleased to hear Naul's soul in this song. With Jinseong's wide range and falsetto, Naul's vocal performance is more than enough to prove his credentials. Another characteristic of the song is its reverence. While the title "Gloria" may be a misnomer, the lyrics of the song are actually a mournful appeal to the beloved "Gloria," so it's hard to find a religious approach. Nevertheless, Naul's high notes, set against the warm and calm atmosphere of the song, are more reverent than mournful. The reverence of the song also influenced its initial release as a single in December. We thought it would be a good fit for the winter 'holiday season'. We took it a step further and included the "Year End Version" on the single alongside the original. It could be considered a "B-side" in the traditional sense, but it's definitely worth checking out. The members of Brown Eyed Soul, who participated in the chorus of the original version, go beyond the chorus in "Year End Version," showing the essence of R&B a cappella. It is said that the creators of the song were worried that the original song would be damaged, but the creators of Enchantment were very satisfied and appreciated the quality of the song. It's unclear how the English-sung song will be received in Korea, but there are plenty of reasons to be excited about this single. It's a chance to hear Naul at the peak of his vocal powers, a chance to hear Brown Eyed Soul for the first time in a long time, a chance to get through this winter with a little more warmth, and a chance to gauge the size of her upcoming full-length album.

It's good but there still is the "Enchantment- Gloria" (1977)😏

나얼 ㅠㅠ

Yes plz listen to Enchantments version of this song

Everyone comparing Naul and Enchantment is missing the point, this song was done in homage to Enchantment, not to compete against them. The ad-libs, riffs and general structure of the song remains unchanged. Dont compare, appreciate. Naul brought this song to a new audience not because he wanted to compete but because he genuinely appreciated this song. If we gonna compare, artists might as well not do covers anymore.
