Along with the album, NCT DREAM also dropped the highly anticipated music video for the lead single, When I'm With You. The vibrant visuals and captivating performance are a perfect reflection of the album's exploration of optimism, love, and escapism. For fans and newcomers alike, When I'm With You is a perfect entry point into the world of DREAMSCAPE.
A Continuation of the Dream
NCT DREAM's DREAMSCAPE is not just a standalone album; it serves as a direct continuation of their earlier EP, DREAM( )SCAPE, which was released in March. Both projects are conceptually linked, but where DREAM( )SCAPE explored darker, more introspective themes, DREAMSCAPE takes a more optimistic and ethereal approach, blending various genres to create a sonic landscape that feels both futuristic and emotional.
The new album is a musical blend of pop, hyperpop, house, and R&B, with each track offering something unique, whether it be an experimental production style or a catchy, singable hook. The contrast between reality and fantasy is a central theme, but rather than focusing on melancholy, DREAMSCAPE is an invitation to dream bigger, to transcend limits, and to find joy in the unknown.
