NCT DREAM Open Up on Maturing & Taking More Creative Control in Group’s ‘New Chapter’


K-pop group NCT DREAM share social messages in 'Dream( )scape' album with lyrics and involvement for "Smoothie," "BOX," "UNKNOWN" and new songs.

Represented through the intense five-part( )SCAPE Film on YouTube and their most experimental mini album, NCT DREAM tweaked their signature style for tracks that recognize hardship and offer an empowering, encouraging message. MARK opens intro track “icantfeelanything” announcing, “I might’ve been afraid to be brave,” followed by CHENLE crooning, “‘Cause I’m lost and confused” before an intense breakbeat switches into a chant of frustrated yells. The hook-heavy single “Smoothie” flips the group’s tried-and-true foodie styling by inspiring the audience to share their worries with NCT DREAM so they can blend it into a healing formula: “Throw in that doubt and fake, pour in all that pain / Shower that in all this ice, eventually it all melts.”
