Eric Nam bares lonely heart on 1st full album in 3 years

Eric Nam has unveiled his heartfelt solo album, "Confessions of a Lonely Heart," marking his first full-length project in nearly three years. The album, released on October 16, features nine tracks that delve into themes of love, breakups, and loneliness, each one nurtured during solitary moments like flights, taxi rides, and hotel stays.

Nam's journey began with a competition on MBC's Star Audition after gaining attention on YouTube with his covers, leading to his Korean debut in 2013 with the EP "Cloud 9."
