K-Pop phenomenon and NCT’s newest unit NCT DOJAEJUNG have released their debut mini-album, Perfume today. The six-track mini-album perfectly highlights the trio’s flawless vocal harmonies and dynamic sound. Listen to it now below.
Title track “Perfume” sets the tone for the songs that follow, opening with an acapella before a rubbery, electro-funk bassline kicks in, as the seductive track conveys the desire to leave one’s scent on a lover. The soaring chorus on “Kiss” highlights the group’s killer falsettos amid a dreamy mid-tempo R&B track while the lyrics in the groove-driven “Dive” use the metaphor of being deeply immersed in water to express the feeling of falling in love. Another groovy mode with “Strawberry Sunday”, the addictive funk track, is the perfect upbeat soundtrack for a springtime romance.
The sentimental ballad “안녕 (Ordinary)” is about expressing your true feelings towards the other that couldn’t be said in a casual mood. Meanwhile, “후유증 (Can We Go Back)” is about wanting to revisit the past after one’s lover has left. The song first introduced the world to NCT DOJAEJUNG when the trio performed it on NCT 127’s most recent headline tour ‘NEO CITY : SEOUL – THE LINK+’.
The album also arrives alongside the video for the title track, which can be seen now below.
