The album's title track is its upbeat “Boogie Woogie.” A lighthearted dance track with bright vocals, “Boogie Woogie” is driven by punchy, brass-inflected production and a sing-along hook that pulls listeners to their feet. Having the same aura as their previous tracks like “Hello Future,” “My First And Last,” and “Candy,” this track is full of energy and is destined to bring a smile to any listener's face. Beyond the track's bubbly instrumental, the members' cheerful vocals are contagious and make listeners want to sing along. NCT is known for its vocals and choreography, and throughout the song, the members' strong vocals stand out. Their falsettos, belts, and ad-libs are striking but smoothly performed. The song has many memorable moments, and each stands out. For example, the pre-chorus is filled with soulful falsettos, and the bridge before the final chorus is a call-and-response that builds into the breakdown through an interplay of the members' vocals and the instrumental. It’s an exciting song that will brighten the room.
While watching the music video, viewers take in a lot from the scenery and the choreography. Watching the members swap between settings like a grocery store, a bowling alley, and a mall, for example, presents viewers with a storyline about the fun but chaotic life of the NCT Dream members. The music video also showcases the choreography. The song is upbeat, fast-paced, and energetic, and the choreography matches that energy. The arm swings, fast footwork, and swift placement changes are all done seamlessly. The choreography mirrors the track's energetic tempo, and it’s one many will try to recreate.
DREAM AFTER DREAM is a triumphant album from NCT Dream. This comeback is a confident, creative statement, and fans can tell it was a joy to make. There are so many songs on the album that will speak to every fan, and it rewards repeated listening. So, check out NCT Dream’s new album, DREAM AFTER DREAM.
