EXO CBX's new album on repeat.
It's literally so good.
Monday Blues is one of my new all time favorite EXO songs. It's like sultry, sassy, jazz? And it's also super mysterious and almost kinda ethereal, and CHEN SOUNDS SO GOOD IN IT LIKE HOLY FUCK HIS
ADLIBS AND HIS VERSE
HERE, god I love his voice so much :( Every single note he sings is just so full of resonance and support it's so refreshing to listen to, I love how vocal focused this mini album is.
And that sing talking rapping thing they do is something I'm not usually into, but it reEALLY works for this song. Also the
chord progression in the background instrumentals are so so so so good and pretty?? I'm literally obsessed with this song lol.
This is also literally the only Kpop related thing that has made me feel genuinely happy in the past 4 months which Ik won't last so I want to savor it while I still can.
I honestly think Kajiura fans could find something to appreciate in this song it's just so so s o good.
As for the rest of the album, I legitimately love every single track except for maybe Sweet Dreams.
Lazy is just so chill and laid back (Love Baekhyun's line
here, also the prechorus in the song really stands out imo) and is just totally my sound,
Playdate is just so cute and fun, and the harmonies are ON POINT, and
Thursday is basically Chen going off for 3 minutes. The
chord progressions and harmonies in Thursday are phenomenal too.
