Pink, teal, and six members striking playful poses on an escalator: the official “Boogie Woogie” video thumbnail sets a lively tone. NCT DREAM’s sixth full album, DREAM AFTER DREAM, was released on November 9. The title track’s full music video is now available too.
The album contains ten tracks. “Boogie Woogie” blends 1970s disco-funk with modern synthesizers, and JAEMIN shares the Korean lyric-writing credit. Its theme is a celebration of the years spent together.
There is another familiar name in the credits. HAECHAN co-wrote the lyrics to “Smile for U,” an acoustic pop-rock track with a doo-wop feel. For a softer opening, “The Sun” starts the album as a pop ballad. Its earlier music video follows the six members on a camper-van trip.
NCT DREAM debuted in 2016 and marks its tenth anniversary this year. DREAM AFTER DREAM looks toward the dreams still ahead. You could play all ten tracks in order, or start with “Boogie Woogie,” “The Sun,” and “Smile for U.” Which one is first on your playlist?
