Sound of Vinyl

The Dreaming, originally released 10 Dec, 2021, was the evocative next chapter following Monsta X’s English-language debut, All About Luv, which landed at No. 5 on the Billboard 200 chart on its release in 2020. The Dreaming will be available on vinyl for the first time on 9 September, 2022.

The group, which formed in 2015 on reality TV competition NO MERCY, is composed of leader Shownu, vocalist/dancers Minhyuk, Kihyun, Hyungwon, and rappers Jooheon and I.M., hits with a unique combination of hip-hop, EDM and pop, which is brought to new levels on The Dreaming. Monsta X stands out at one of the only K-pop bands to release two entirely English albums—a rarity for K-pop artists—and for their massive success in the U.S. on radio and the Billboard charts. Monsta X was the second male K-pop group to chart in the U.S. Top 40, after BTS, and the third to break into the Top 10 on the Billboard 200. They’ve received several nominations at the MTV Video Music Awards, as well as for a Teen Choice Award
