Each track has a visualizer video with lyrics for every track. The notable standout track 'Lifeline' is one of many tracks that follow a theme. The beauty of 'Lifeline' lies not only in Woosung's angelic vocals but also in the slow pace that emphasizes the storytelling. The pre-chorus builds with a glimmer of hope, allowing listeners to dream.
“I know what it's like bein' hopeless
Bruises on your mind like it's broken
But there's a better life on the other side
So pick anywhere you like”
Dual acts as a hug on a rainy day, it’s there to guide listeners through those intrusive thoughts. Through their in-depth and retrospective lyrics, they deliver gentle reminders through their music. Weaving through various genres, the musicality speaks volume about how talented the group are. Rounding off the album, 'Wonder' is an upbeat and impactful song that explores the idea of everyone being the same and how we live our lives. The song follows a simplistic structure but has an effective rhythm of lyricism.
“Do you think there's still a chance?
May the people sing and dance
Who is here to lead the way or who wants to?
Do you think there's still a chance?
May the people sing and dance
Who is here to lead the way? We wonder”
Acting as a pondering tale, it's a positive and poignant way to end the album that is without a doubt their best work to date.
Dual is out now on all available platforms to buy and stream.
