MESSAGE 7: SPECIAL - The Seventh EP

*Good luck to anyone who wants to read this verbose description and, until next time, have a wonderful Monday.*

*Also, if you choose to download MESSAGE 7 here on Payhip, you may hear minor differences in the sound quality of the song 'Emergency'. This is because I realised I failed to save the master preset for the song once I was done setting up mastering effects for the song. Sorry for any inconvenience.

MESSAGE 7: SPECIAL is a special music album or extended play containing a special selection of songs which to me, at least, are special to some degree and can be described as 'something special'. Is there a word or a term used to describe when a word has been used repeatedly in different ways such as an adjective, an adjective, and an adjective?

Anyway, before typing away for this 'About this album' section, I tried to think about what I could say about this music album which is at least somewhat special to me.

The first thing that came to mind was the fact that all of the songs contained in this music album or extended play were named after a subtitle given to one of the first six MESSAGE albums from MESSAGE 1: SHINE to MESSAGE 6: STOP MAKING MUSIC.

See if you can connect the names of the songs to the correlating MESSAGE albums?

What else? Skipping over the fact MESSAGE 7 has been released on the seventh day in the seventh month of the year... Oh, yes!

I think the time I spent working on the album artwork for this extended play was the shortest amount of time I have spent working on album artwork for an extended play.

Note to self: I thought about a fourth thing to talk about for MESSAGE 7 but it has gone somewhere and if it comes back to me, I can bring it up in this section for a follow-up extended play. If you paid attention to the previous MESSAGE album, you may be able to tell what will come out next. Maybe the follow-up extended play was the thing I forgot about?

Oh! This is it: If I were to be asked, 'What is your favourite song on MESSAGE 7 and why?', song number two, 'Scribble', is my answer because having listened to it again while working on music videos for each song in MESSAGE 7 (coming soon-ish to YouTube), the song sounds delightful.

But all of the songs on this extended play became my favourite song at one point or another during development on MESSAGE 7. Some songs I knew were going to be boring but later they grew on me. Some other songs start boringly but become more groovy as they continue.

In case my verbose description for this extended play bores you, here is my 'AI Assist' summary written by myself:

MESSAGE 7: SPECIAL is a special music album or extended play that contains six songs and this extended play can be described as 'something special' from Hey! It's Nath, a creative outlet and hobby started by Nathan Ng.

This extended play was created and released by Hey! It's Nath on 7th July 2025. Skipping over the release date connection for laughs and giggles, speaking of 'special', the names of the songs in this extended play were inspired by subtitles given to the first six MESSAGE albums from MESSAGE 1: SHINE to MESSAGE 6: STOP MAKING MUSIC.

Nathan's favourite song from this extended play is 'Scribble' but he found all of the songs became his favourite song at one point or another.
