EXO’s CHEN is back with his third mini-album ‘Last Scene‘. It has been a while since his last solo release and many EXO-Ls were looking forward to listen to his soothing and powerful voice.
Let’s get right into the emotional rollercoaster.
Last Scene
This mini-album opens up with the title track ‘Last Scene‘. From the getgo CHEN blesses listeners with a heartwarming ballad packed with vocal power and emotions. The instrumentation in this single is absolutely stunning, and the acoustic piano throughout the full single is breathtaking.
For the music video, we follow two individuals going through the feels while watching stunning landscapes. One of the actors is Park Hae-Soo. The full production is super emotional and sad. Watch it below.
Piano instrumentals start ‘Photograph‘. CHEN goes lower in his vocal register and plays with his range in this single. The addition of the subtle drums was a lovely touch, and the composition of this song is super pretty.
We spice things up with a touch of R&B in ‘Traveler‘. The backing vocals and ad-libs in this song are amazing. Its smoothness and subtle groove is TOP, and makes this single a chill and vibey listen.
Starting with live rhythmic guitar ‘I Don’t Even Mind‘ shows off a very interesting composition and sound. The pauses used to give highlight the vocals were unexpected and I really loved the chord progression and full arrangement of this single.
‘Reminisce‘ goes back to basic with its very wintery ballad vibe and breath-taking orchestration. We all know the drill, and just go deep into our feelings with this song. Just sit and enjoy incredible singing and plenty of emotions.
Closing this album is the single ‘Your Shelter‘ with the classic ballad instrumentals and the melancholic and beautiful feel. CHEN sings his heart out, and there is no better way to close this mini-album.
