| 3 | Across the Universe | Baek Yerin original · a favourite |
| 4 | California hotel | NONOL compilation track |
Four different sources
A live session's setlist usually runs one way. You pick from your own album, or lean on recent songs.
Rosanna's four songs come from entirely different places. The first is the debut song, the second a drama OST, the third a song by a favourite singer, the fourth a song prepared for this session.
Laid out this way, each song does a different job. The debut song shows the starting point, the OST shows the work, the cover shows the taste, the last shows the present. A résumé turned into songs.
An artist who starts from a self-chosen name
'Rosanna' means an apricot-pink rose. It is the name picked at debut.
Before debuting, Rosanna worked for years as a jazz vocalist and appeared on television programmes including duet contests and 'Hidden Singer'. The self-description: an artist who moves between pop, powerful ballads and emotional OSTs.
The third song, 'Across the Universe', is Baek Yerin's. Rosanna said it is a dearly loved song. The one song among four that is someone else's is the place where taste sits.
Rosanna was the first guest
This session is NONOL LIVE's very first episode. The crew wrote that they searched playgrounds near Hongdae and chose Neuti Children's Park in Yeonnam-dong as the first location.
It was a clear autumn morning, they wrote. Once the performance started, people nearby came out one by one to listen, and many asked when they could see it.
The first episode of a series is made before the form is settled. So this video holds a record of how NONOL LIVE's shape began.
Today, like this
Play the four in order. How four songs from different sources bind into one session is the first thing to check.
Then play the third song again on its own. It is the only one of the four that is someone else's.
Last, play the first song once more. The opening line of a session that opens with a debut song.
A new song has arrived at the playground today.
