On September 29th at 6 p.m. KST, E’LAST returned as a full group with their first single album, Dark Dream.
The title track “Dark Dream” explodes with a grand cinematic atmosphere and contains a dramatic composition, aggressive beats, forceful rapping and lyrical orchestration which collectively results in a sound that is difficult to define as a genre. The individuality of each E’LAST member is clearly highlighted with their unpredictable musical direction and unique colors.
The song’s music video is an extension of the stories told through previous releases, with various themes and visual aspects carrying over from “Swear,” “Tears Of Chaos,” and “Dangerous.” In particular, “Dark Dream” displays an enhanced maturity through its imagery, including featured red ropes which convey various emotions. As expected from the E Entertainment boy group, their impeccable performance and chemistry as a team is shines front and center during their performance.
Dark Dream marks first E’LAST’s return as a full group since their 2020 debut. Member Wonjun was unable to participate in their comeback for Awake due to his individual schedules as MC of children’s program “Tok! Tok! Boni Hani” with former BUSTERS member, Chaeyeon.
Dark Dream contains two additional tracks: R&B-inspired slow jam “Muse” and the 90s-inspired teen pop song “To. Lie” which members Woohyuk and Wonjun contributed to the lyrics.
