The title itself hints at a collection of songs that delve into the core of dreams, fantasies, or perhaps a state of blissful contemplation. The moving teaser released today has only amplified this curiosity, leaving fans eager to uncover the musical and visual concepts Baekhyun has prepared this time.
This announcement marks Baekhyun’s first official album release in approximately eight months. His last mini album, the heartfelt ‘Hello, World‘, was released in September of last year, leaving fans eager for his next musical offering.
While ‘Essence of Reverie‘ will be his first full album release in a while, Baekhyun did treat fans to a special collaboration earlier this year. In March, he teamed up with American singer-songwriter UMI for the dreamy single “Do What You Do,” showcasing his signature smooth vocals in a new light.
