Firstfruit" will be released on various music streaming sites at 6 pm on April 7th.
Firstfruit' will feature a total of 13 songs, including the title track '1999', and will be released in cities where MARK has made his mark, such as Toronto, New York, Vancouver, and Seoul.
The album is divided into four sections, each with its own theme. The title track "1999" is especially noteworthy, with its grand orchestration, funky-sounding guitar, brass session, and whistle.
It is a pop number with a light atmosphere created by the harmony of various instrument sounds such as sulu, and the singing, which freely moves between tight rap and singing, is something that has not been seen from MARK until now.
The lyrics express how happy he is to have his first solo album come to fruition, as if he were revisiting 1999, the year he was born.
It also expresses his ambition to be the artist who will mark the end of the 20th century, as he was born in the last year of the 20th century.
In addition, the title song of this album is a Toronto-style song that tells the story of MARK's beginning.
The album was recorded in a single studio, with MARK himself in charge of the lyrics and composition, and he poured his honest thoughts into it, so it's enough to confirm MARK's color as a solo artist.
The concept image of "MARK" released on the official SNS account of "NCT" at midnight today (25th) shows MARK's original appearance in a pure yet elegant manner.
Mark is currently receiving positive feedback and is currently making his mark as an iconic artist. Meanwhile, Mark will hold a showcase to celebrate the release of his first solo album at Seongsu Culture and Arts Plaza FB Theater on April 7th at 8pm.
The band will hold a special event and will be performing their title song "1999" for the first time.
