DAY DREAM ALBUM IMPRESSION

DAY DREAM consists of five delightful songs to listen to.

Starting from the “Intro”, the listener is taken on a mystical trip, feeling like entering another land. The piano is combined in a beautiful way with the oriental sound. To add more to the building expectation, a marching rhythm is included at the second half of the track, gradually moving onto the title song.

“Swear” then started by showcasing more oriental tunes and eventually adding more trendy beats. Additionally, the song was reminiscent of an OST track for a historical drama or fairy tales about princes and princesses. It did not fail to portray each members’ talent, either in vocal or rapping aspect.

Meanwhile, “Sunrise” is a medium tempo pop song with a cheerful rhythm. It gave a fun and comfortable feel, especially with the cute lyrics in which a loved one is compared to a sunrise.

Setting a different atmosphere, “나의 꽃” (My Flower) is a ballad which showcased the powerful and solid vocals of the members. It focused on their singing ability and emotion portrayal.

Lastly, the special song “빛” (Light) is dedicated to the fans who have been supporting the group even before they debuted. To make it even more special, members Won Hyuk and Baek Gyeul wrote the lyrics themselves and took part in composing the song as well. This gentle yet exciting piece is sure to be liked by the group’s fans.
