Buried Treasure: NCT Dream – I Like It

A Ok-pop act’s title observe isn’t at all times the perfect music on their album, even when it’s the one most individuals will hear. Typically, b-sides deserve recognition too. Within the singles-oriented world of Ok-pop, I wish to highlight a few of these buried treasures and provides them the props they deserve.


SM Leisure has been on a roll with their albums currently, and NCT Dream’s Go Again To The Future is one other sturdy addition. I actually, actually like this album — and that is coming from somebody who has gone off the NCT model in recent times. The truth that even I get pleasure from Go Again To The Future a lot is a testomony to its high quality. After the double punch of synth-influenced title tracks (each of which have confirmed to be huge growers), the album softens right into a extra traditional SM sound. In reality, it usually feels extra like a SHINee undertaking.

I like the punchy pop rock of Dream Workforce and boppy new jack swing of That Summer season, however I’ve chosen to jot down about I Like It as a result of it scratches that SHINee itch with its ultra-smooth refrain and upbeat dance beat. The music opens with a couple of summery instrumental loops that remind me of Ok-pop’s late-2010’s tropical pattern. From right here, the music progressively climbs to its propulsive refrain. I’d have liked listening to this brisk vitality continued all through I Like It‘s whole runtime (no extra slowdowns in dance tracks, please!), however the highs on this are so nice that I’m joyful to wade by way of the lulls.
