The group NCT DREAM included the pain they faced on their journey to find their dreams in their 4th full-length album ‘DREAMSCAPE’.

‘No Escape’, included in this album, is a pop song with a self-deprecating message that although they thought they had completely escaped the dark reality, all situations were empty lies, and that it is impossible to escape the nightmarish reality. The intense yet minimal mood created by the distorted 808 sound is impressive.

‘Best of Me’ is a dance pop song influenced by the pop sound of the 80s. It expresses a paradoxical situation where they struggle not to be seduced by the false world that tempts them, but eventually lose their heart. Member Haechan took charge of the lyrics alone, further enhancing the completeness of the story.

The new song ‘YOU (숲)’ is The song is a R&B pop genre song with a faint arpeggio synth sound, and the lyrics contain a firm determination to not lose faith in ‘you’ and definitely find ‘you’ despite repeated failures in the journey to find the true ‘DREAMSCAPE’, and the delicate emotional expressions of the members that gradually change along the flow of the song are attractive.

Also, the ‘REAL CITY’ concept teaser image that was released on NCT DREAM‘s official SNS channels at midnight on the 30th shows the members who have grown even more confidently and freely enjoying themselves in the real world, raising curiosity about the story of NCT DREAM that will be revealed through their 4th full-length album.

NCT DREAM’s 4th full-length album ‘DREAMSCAPE’ will be released with all the songs on various music sites on November 11 at 6 PM, and the physical album will also be released on the same day.
