Vocals: 10 / 10
During this past January when I talked about some of the best vocalists, I mentioned Narsha in the “Wild Card” category because of her sweet and innocent voice, something that sort of betrays her age. This song is no exception. Narsha’s bright and lively vocals last throughout from start to finish, which make “Tonight” a very enjoyable listen. There’s nothing extraordinary, but everything is certainly above average (good!). The English in the Korean version is solid, but what’s truly impressive is the English version. I didn’t know what to expect since Narsha isn’t known for being fluent in pronunciation, but holy this blew all expectations out of the water. Soothing, sweet, appropriate vocals earn Narsha a perfect score.
Rap: 10 / 10
It’s hard to put down Miryo’s talent, and this is a pretty good reason why. Miryos tame ferocity compliments Narsha’s sweet vocals and since the distribution is about half and half (or possibly 60 / 40 in Narsha’s favor), there’s good balance and a back and forth exchange between the two voices. Just like Narsha and her vocals, Miryo’s rap in both versions are splendid, but again, the English work is what really surprises me and is what I enjoy the most about “Tonight”.
Music Video: 5 / 10
I know the MV was essentially a teaser or preview of this new subunit, but man this was disappointing. Yeah there’s plenty of eye candy, but that’s literally the point of this MV. Oh well. Say, is that the same lollipop from Miss A’s “Hush”? Guess those are popular or something, now. I knew this was gonna hurt the overall score, so let’s see how badly.

Overall: 83 / 100
Alright, so the MV didn’t murk the score the way I thought possible (given past songs with outstanding scores outside of the MV). But that’s great news, since “Tonight” is a clam refresher that was executed superbly between Miryo and Narsha. Good work, and I’m anticipating future releases from M&N and other possible BEG subunits.
