NCT DREAM’s ‘Hello Future’ and RIIZE’s ‘Memories’ have been reimagined by renowned K-pop hitmaker KENZIE for the “KENZIE RE:WORKS” project out now via ScreaM Records (SM Entertainment’s dance music label).

The beloved tracks – as well as a revamped version of aespa’s ‘Supernova’ – are songs originally composed by KENZIE that have been revisited and interpreted by her with a more experimental approach, further expanding her musical vision and endless possibilities for K-pop.

‘Hello Future’, a trap rhythm hip-hop dance single for NCT DREAM released in 2021, is presented with a hybrid mix that blurs genre lines. Listen HERE and watch the music video HERE.

The original ranked No.1 on PAPER’s Best K-pop Songs of 2021 list and remains a staple on NCT DREAM’s tour setlist. The multi-million-selling group is bringing their third world tour ‘THE DREAM SHOW 3: DREAM( )SCAPE’ to Europe starting 30 October, with a night at London’s OVO Arena Wembley on 12 November.

The KENZIE RE:WORKS version of ‘Memories’ by RIIZE takes on a dream-pop vibe infused with a nostalgic, vintage feel. Listen HERE and watch the music video HERE. Its layered intro invites a deeper connection, evoking warmth through immersive sounds – a sonically sublime sequel to the original ‘Memories’, which was named by NME one of the ‘best K-Pop songs of 2023’: “The song’s stellar chorus screams 2010s pop euphoria, all sun-drenched key changes that sound like the promise of a never-ending summer.”

The release comes a month after RIIZE’s anniversary of their debut and follows the release of ‘Combo’ and “RIIZING– The 1st Mini Album”, along with the global theatrical release of their fan-con final “RIIZE FAN-CON TOUR: RIIZING DAY FINALE IN CINEMAS”. With over 132 million streams worldwide, RIIZE continues to take the industry by storm. Recently, they were selected as the first ever K-Pop boy group for Spotify’s global music initiative RADAR, which spotlights artists on their journeys to global stardom.

K-pop’s leading hit songwriter and producer KENZIE has been behind some of the SM Entertainment artists’ biggest and most enduring hits for over 20 years. As well as ‘Supernova’, KENZIE has worked on records for BoA, TVXQ,Super Junior, Girls’ Generation, SHINee, EXO, Red Velvet, NCT, aespa, RIIZE and more.
