Siyeon honestly doesn't need vocal layering because her voice is one of the most powerful you will hear in K-Pop. I've seen Dreamcatcher twice and Siyeon is out here testing the limits of concert sound systems. When you have some time I suggest watching the dance practice or performance MV for Scream because it's kind of complicated and the MV does not do it justice. Real talk about K-Pop girl group choreography: girl groups don't use a lot of arm movements because they can't dance, it's because they're held to a much higher vocal standard than boy groups are. Period. In the court of public opinion female idols are expected to be supermodels, to be good singers, and dance is last on the list. Why? Because for many girl groups their main audience is men and they don't care about it as much as visuals and singing. So many people look down on girl groups for seemingly being bad dancers compared to boy groups. Dreamcatcher have more complex choreo than most other girl groups because there are 7 members to balance the vocal load and so they can put on a great show with no loss to vocal quality. Other girl groups who are great at dancing include: Billlie(RING X RING, flipp!ng a coin), Everglow(First, Dun Dun), aespa(Drama, Illusion), Pixy(Karma, Villain), Purple Kiss(Zombie, Sweet Juice), Twice(I Can't Stop Me, Alcohol Free). I didn't include Mamamoo because while they actually are great dancers their focus is on vocals and stage presence. I would check out Mamamoo's solos because you get to see more of them as dancers and each member has a unique style.
Scream is part 1 of the Dystopia trilogy, which is about cyber-bullying, hateful comments and people losing themselves in the (fake) online world. It is mostly showing the victim's perspective of (cyber)bullying, comparing it to a medieval witch hunt and a burning at the stake. The tree is the tree of language, and it grows black fruit for every hurtful thing people say. Note also the hand gesture, it is the devil's horns introduced by Ronnie James Dio as a symbol for metal, but it originally was a gesture in the middle ages to ward off the evil eye, tying into the witch hunt theme. I really enjoy the music, it's rock mixed with EDM. Dreamcatcher are always very creative, and they are in their own genre by this point.
Thanks for checking out more Dreamcatcher! Scream is the first part of their Dystopia trilogy which calls out online bullying, hate messages, and social media. Scream is from the perspective of the persecuted as they question why these things are happening to them and the MV has imagery that harkens back to witch hunts, comparing them to the modern-day witch hunts that happen online. The choreography for Dreamcatcher's songs tends to be much more theatric as it acts as an accompaniment to the story. Here's some info on the members, in order of age. Jiu - Leader, Lead vocal, lead dancer, visual. She just celebrated her 30th Sua - Main dancer, Lead rapper (though she doesn't rap much anymore), vocalist. Siyeon - Main vocalist. The Si is pronounced with an h so it's pronounced more like "shi-yon" Our rock vocal queen Handong - vocalist, Chinese member. She wasn't in this video as she was in China for the idol competition Youth with You as a participant. She ended up getting stuck in China due to Covid and missed the follow up comeback for Boca. Yoohyeon - Lead vocalist. She's got more of an R&B style vocal and isn't quite as powerful as Siyeon but she's got great technique and could be a main vocal pretty much anywhere else. You'll find her and Siyeon doing most of the vocal work though Jiu, Sua, and Handong have started doing more throughout the years. Dami - Main rapper, lead dancer, vocalist. Does a lot of her own writing and has written/composed a few of the group songs. Gahyeon - Lead rapper, vocalist, maknae. All the members have at least one solo song that they wrote and produced on and about 30 - 40% of the songs have been touched by the members either through writing, composing, or in Sua's case, creating choreography. Also of note, since you mentioned Ateez, Dreamcatcher's two main producers, Leez & Ollounder, are members of Edenary, Ateez's production crew and many of Dreamcatcher's newer songs have credits for other Edenary producers. Dreamcatcher title tracks will all have a rock element, but their b-sides are crazy diverse. R&B, EDM, Trance, Rock, Metal, Trap, Funk, Jazz, Reggae, Ballads, and more can be found in their discography. Siyeon's never done a Billie Eilish cover but Sua did a cover of Copycat and Yoohyeon & Dami did a cover of NDA by her. If you want to check the next song out in the trilogy it's Boca, which means mouth in Spanish. This song is from the perspective of an on looker who sees others being bullied and decides to intervene on their behalf. The song blends moombahton & rock to create something pretty unique.
Glad you're enjoying Dreamcatcher! You should finish the trilogy and watch Odd Eye next. All three are about online hate and MV-wise we go Past, Present, Future with the settings.
Thank you for Dreamcatcher’s reaction.
I think you'll really like Dreamcatcher's Deja Vu.
I want you to react.
