NCT U has released the latest music video in their ‘NCT 2018 Empathy‘ comeback.
In a release that caught us all off-guard, NCT U have dropped ‘Yestoday‘, a track that features NCT rappers Taeyong, Mark, and Lucas along with vocalist Doyoung.
‘Yestoday’ has a different feel to the other tracks included on ‘NCT 2018 Empathy‘. The vibe of this track is a throw back to the hip hop scene of the 90s, when artists weren’t afraid to experiment with sound and push boundaries. Rappers Taeyong, Mark and Lucas carry the verses while the ever-impressive Doyoung brings the track together with his smooth and melodic chorus which floats over the downright funky beat.
The vocal is backed by a trippy snare heavy hip-hop beat that is surrounded by atmospheric synths. It’s a combination that brings the song alive and fully supports the strength of the vocals.
‘Yestoday’ features lyrics written by Mark and Taeyong which are performed in both English and Korean.
The clip itself features fantastical, neon animations and animals that serve to enhance the mood and vibe of the video. The three rappers deliver their raps amid busy and colourful sets enhanced by mood lighting and disco balls. Doyoung alone, as the connector, appears primarily in black-and-white as drawings alter his image; only the final rendition of the hook verse sees him joining the rest of the quartet amid the darkly-lit set.
