Review Tracklist Album EXO-K

1. 마마 (MAMA) The title song, ‘MAMA’, is the work of the hit composer, Young-Jin Yoo. The majestic sound of the Gregorian chant and the orchestra is amplifying the mysteriousness of EXO-K and EXO-M and the sharp synth and guitar riff and powerful shouting at the dance break overwhelm the ears. The lyric also enhanced the perfection of the song further by reflecting the anxiety about the conflict and the absence of communication the contemporaries feel between the reality and the digital world and the hope for the recovery of the pure love. 2. What Is Love This is an R&B made of elegant sounds and is a joint work of the world-renowned producer Teddy Riley and the hit composer Young-Jin Yoo. The vintage electric guitar leading the mood of the entire song sounds impressive, and the simple drum and bass and gentle synth stimulate the hearts of listeners. Particularly, the Korean version was sung by EXO-K members D.O. and Baekhyun and the Chinese version, by EXO-M members Chen and Luhan, giving a dreamy and rhythmical interpretation of the complex emotions that one feels when one falling in love with the refreshing voices. 3. HISTORY In ‘HISTORY’, the fresh and bobbling beat and the highly addictive melody are tightly bound with each other from the beginning to the end of the song to keep the tension all along. This is a cheerful dance song written together by the hit maker Young-Jin Yoo and Thomas Troelsen, the Danish composer that Korean music fans became familiar with through the “Mirotic” of TVXQ! and “Sherlock” of SHINee, and it implies the great ambition of EXO that will create a new history. 4. 너의 세상으로 (Angel) This is a medium tempo ballad that fully expresses the rich sensibilities of EXO-K and EXO-M, and it was composed by Hyuk Shin who is known as the producer for the worldwide pop star Justin Bieber. This song combines the sensuous melody line unique to R&B, elegant piano sound, and the lyric that depicts the pure love of the angel to produce mysterious mood, giving the unusual feeling that one is being brought to heaven. 5. 두 개의 달이 뜨는 밤 (Two Moons)    feat. KEY (SHINee) A trendy and crunk song, ‘Two Moons’, features SHINee’s member Key to add freshness to the song, and the dynamic composition mixed with strong and deep drum sound stand out. Member of EXO-K KAI, CHAN YEOL, SE HUN rapped for Korean version and member of EXO-M KRIS, TAO, LAY rapped for Chinese version. 6. MACHINE ‘MACHINE’ is a sharp, groovy, and highly addictive dance song that perfectly combines the deep bass sound, solid synthesizer, and the powerful and energetic voices of EXO-K and EXO-M members. This song by the German composer, Albi Albertsson, uses mechanical and robotic sound instead of the traditional drum sound to differentiate it from existing dance songs, and the lyric makes the song more interesting by reflecting the unusual imagination of a man who thinks that the woman he is attracted to and is too perfect that no man could easily talk to can be a cyborg instead of a human.
