NMIXX Make Their First Official Comeback With ‘Dice’

Shortly after making their K-con L.A debut, JYP Entertainment’s rookie girl group NMIXX are back with their signature ‘Mixx pop’ genre (a term coined by the label) comeback, “Dice.” The single leads the group’s sophomore EP ENTWURF, making it their first official comeback since their debut single “O.O.” in February 2022. 

As with their debut track, NMIXX don’t shy away from an eccentric song structure with several genres meshed together in “Dice.” Opening with a dramatic classical arrangement, the song traverses through hip-hop and pop with soaring bass synth always lurking in the corner. The chorus utilizes the blazing energy of brass with Lily’s vocals echoing, “Let, let, let’s roll the dice, yeah.” Needless to say, there is a sense of disconnect between the genre switches and wondrous vocal delivery, an arrangement style we last saw in “O.O.” 

Lyrically, the track explores the group’s ambition of moving forward irrespective of the curve balls that are thrown their way. Metaphorically using the overarching concept of a typical board game, the track further delineates how one can find fulfillment in managing the apprehension that a challenging route comes with. 

“Diving into the clouds/ Riding the waves/ So what if it makes no sense, no more waiting/ All in now, go all in/ No need to think, go get it.”

The music video employs several dice-inspired frames to visually narrate the core essence of the track. Whimsical at its core, the images are heavily CGI-driven with several references from Lewis Carroll’s fantasy, Alice in Wonderland.

Apart from the lead single, the EP also houses the B-side track “Cool (Your Rainbow).”
