NCT's Chenle has just officially made his debut as a solo singer through the release of a special Chinese-language mini album titled ' Lucid .'; 'Lucid' is available to listen to on all music platforms in China starting Monday May 5, 2025.
Along with that, the music video for the title track of the same title has also been officially released via the TME Official YouTube channel. Specifically, NCT's Chenle's special mini album titled 'Lucid' consists of 3 songs in it. Including the title song with the same title.
Accompanied by a remake of the drama OST 'Meet and Greet' titled 'Tear Bridge' which was previously released as a pre-release song. There is also a collaboration song with singer Bibi Zhou through the track titled 'Cosmic Coke.'
NCT's Chenle's first special mini album successfully stole the attention of fans through the vocals performed by the member of the boy group NCT Dream. As the main vocalist in the group, Chenle not only proved his charming vocal quality.
However, he also delivered all the songs on his solo debut album with full soul. Especially for the main song 'Lucid' which tells about the brilliant moment that someone encounters after he has succeeded in overcoming the loneliness that binds him.
Through the accompaniment of string melodies that thunder through the quiet nuances, combined with soft vocals, and a number of high notes that are executed coolly. Giving a deep nuance to the song. From the beginning of the song, listeners will immediately be pampered with the 23-year-old idol's soft vocals through a very mellow intro.
The lyrics immediately offer about the torturous self-doubt. When he can't find a way out of the loneliness that hits him. As if he was imprisoned on a remote island. The despair becomes more and more apparent in the chorus.
However, he eventually realizes that sometimes even the weaknesses within oneself, such as fear, are a form of courage. Until finally he found answers and new hope for all his problems by finding strength within himself.
Through a series of lyrics that read, " I can't find the answer, waiting for the world to stop spinning/ Letting this weakness bite the loneliness that strikes/ Looking for the answer in myself, until I reach the furthest end of the world /" Continued with the lyrics, " Weakness is also a form of courage, reconnecting the broken heartbeats/ They say imperfection can also be something that shines /"
After finding the answer from within, the spirit to rise and overcome fear becomes even more intense until the end of the song. When he realizes that the feeling of fear that has always haunted him will change into a hope or something bright if he tries to rise and accept himself.
Specifically, the song 'Lucid' may sound like a ballad with a mellow and heartbreaking feel. However, this song actually has an encouraging message in it. Through poetic lyrics, 'Lucid' invites us to find answers to fear and find hope amidst despair and loneliness.
To better understand ourselves and accept ourselves, and to make all our shortcomings a strength to turn them into something positive for us. Chenle with his soft yet powerful vocals at the same time, really conveys the content of the song or the message in it with touching vocal execution. As well as deep emotion in every lyric.
