K-pop sensation NCT 127 is set to drop their highly anticipated sixth full-length album, “WALK,” on Monday, July 15, 2024. This new release marks an exciting milestone for the group, coming just a week after their eighth debut anniversary.
The album, featuring 11 tracks including the title song, promises to showcase a new side of NCT 127. According to group member Doyoung, “WALK” represents “moving forward with our own steps without worrying about others’ views”. This theme suggests a more mature and confident approach from the band.
Fans can expect a fresh sound with the title track, which blends old-school hip-hop drums and retro guitar riffs, giving it a 2000s hip-hop vibe. Jaehyun, another member, hinted at a performance that will complement the song’s groovy sound, teasing that it will be different from their previous stages.
The music video, set to release at 6 p.m. on the same day as the album drop, will feature more group scenes than individual shots. Yuta mentioned that this approach highlights NCT 127’s teamwork and chemistry.
In a touching moment for fans, the album will include vocals from group leader Taeyong, who began his military service in April. This inclusion ensures that all members’ voices are represented in this significant release.
NCT 127 hopes that “WALK” will resonate with their fanbase, known as Czennie. Taeil expressed the group’s desire to show a more relaxed and mature coolness, while Doyoung emphasized that the album is dedicated to their fans.
As NCT 127 embarks on this new musical journey, “WALK” promises to be a testament to the group’s growth and evolving artistry. Fans can look forward to experiencing NCT 127’s latest work and supporting the group in this exciting new chapter of their career.
