This was especially true of the chorus, which combined driving synthy-guitar and falling siren sample into something I couldn’t help but like despite its zany style. Production-wise, “Cherry Bomb” is well done and balanced (an improvement from their first mini album) with oddly satisfying musical choices sprinkled throughout. It falls much more into hip-hop territory than much of their second mini album, foregoing an emphasis on R&B for a sound that is both wavy and dirty. I’ll look forward to their debut album and hope it can successfully showcase the variety of sounds they’ve covered thus far in their three mini albums.īut how does “Cherry Bomb” stack up as an individual track? It’s a weird little song and there’s parts that I love and also parts that I don’t like as much. Their mini albums up until now have been extremely exploratory and full of risky chances and I respect them (and SM Entertainment) for having the confidence to pursue the direction they have until now so steadfastly. The group combines different musical styles into a sort of avant-garde mix of hip-trap and house music, with more classic R&B stacked vocals intermittently. “ Cherry Bomb” is simultaneously a great leap forward from their first single, “ Firetruck”, and something that follows very naturally in its footsteps. With each consecutive mini album they release, they grow vocally, musically, and stylistically. NCT, and their South Korean subgroup, NCT 127, are arguably the most interesting group in mainstream KPop currently. After listening to the 6 tracks one more time, I decided to settle for the lead single and the music video because both offer great insights into what exactly this NCT project (and the mini album) is all about. I thought a lot about whether or not to review just the single “Cherry Bomb” or the entire mini album from the NCT subgroup, NCT 127.
