In April 2019, the unit's increasing global popularity prompted their label SM Entertainment to sign marketing and distribution deals with Capitol Music Group and Caroline Distribution, respectively. They broke into the mainstream in 2017 with ‘Cherry Bomb’, now recognized as one of their signature songs, and received greater international attention following the release of their first studio album and its lead single ‘Regular’ in 2018. Since their debut, NCT 127 has released three studio albums, two repackaged albums, and four extended plays in South Korea. Members Doyoung and Johnny joined the unit in December 2016, ahead of their second EP ‘Limitless’ (2017) Jungwoo, the final member, was introduced in September 2018 for the group's first studio album ‘Regular-Irregular’ (2018). Their debut extended play (EP) NCT #127 (2016) was a commercial success upon release, winning them the Best New Group title at several South Korean music award shows. They debuted on Jwith the single ‘Firetruck’ and an original lineup of seven members: Taeil, Taeyong, Yuta, Jaehyun, Winwin, Mark, and Haechan. The dance break already looks amazing and very powerful.NCT 127 was formed and managed by SM Entertainment. I wouldn’t be surprise if it did feature some martial arts in it.
From what I can see in the music video, the performance plays on textures to match the more melodic vocal moments and the intense hip-hop moments. They managed to give it a modern twist and the members stand out accordingly.ĭon’t think there is a live performance for this comeback yet. The music video also has this Asian concept, which I thought was very cool. Bruce Lee is well known for his yellow and black jumpsuit, an image of Bruce Lee that everyone probably knows of. The music video featured a fair amount of martial arts and the infamous yellow and black combo. For those who may not know who Bruce Lee is, he is actor who was very well known for the martial arts movies he starred in. There is no doubt the music video is paying homage to Bruce Lee. Going I had expected a little less shouting and something more refined, but this was pretty good as it is. It does remind me of some of their earlier works, which I didn’t enjoy at the time of review (but they have grown on me considerably). At this stage however, I am looking more positively at the track and think it is pretty decent. At the same time, however, it causes a great mismatch in sound and (obviously) cuts whatever flow the song potentially had.
KICK IT NCT 127 FULL
Part of them is glad for this, as a full 4 minutes of the shouting and noisy chorus would have been a little too much. Thank god that the song has some relief moments, where the vocals are brought in.
It honestly could go either way depending on my mood when I am listening to the track. And while I do enjoy the Bruce Lee homage and the ‘ new thang‘ to be suitable for this hip-hop direction, the other part of me finds it annoying and ‘too loud’. Part of me finds it pretty good and sees potential in it to become an addictive section of the part. The first is the very shouting-heavy and noisy hook of the track. In my personal opinion, NCT 127 manages to Kick It up a notch with their new track. It also marks the return of Jungwoo, who sat out of NCT 127 promotions since August of last year for health reasons. Kick It features on Neo Zone, the group’s second studio album. And we will probably see the same thing for NCT 127 in the near future. Since their May 2019 comeback, the group went on to promote Superhuman, along with other tracks, in the US and achieved a worldwide reach. The group has returned with Kick It, 9 months after the release of Superhuman last year. But I take a moment to review a new release from NCT 127. And this should continue into the rest of the weekend (with some album reviews). I spent the start of the week revisiting tracks that I have yet to write reviews for.
