This is the fourth piece in the series “So, What is Blexo?” . Enjoy, share your thoughts, and tell us what you think!

One of the greatest things about EXO is their ability to never give us the same thing twice. As we all know, EX’ACT fits the mold of “ex’actly” that. It’s been about two months since the release of the album, and by far in our own opinion, it’s EXO’s best.

What makes EX’ACT the best album in our opinion, is that it’s so polished, so refined, and the sound production and quality of the music is so familiar, they have never sounded better. Part of the reason why we coined the term “blexo” came in result to our reactions to this album. The music, the members vocals (I’d like to note that each and every one of them were in their feelings throughout the whole thing), it was just so refreshing and this album is SOLID. 

We didn’t think of concerts while listening, it was nice to just LISTEN to EXO for once. This entire album was so well pieced together, the theme was cohesive, and it was a straight R&B/Pop album. Many didn’t like this “new” EXO, but this? They’ve always shown hints that this is the music that they’ve wanted to do, they got the chance to SING again, and just focus on that. It reflects in the concerts as well. 

Below the read more is a breakdown of a few songs off the album that again, fits the theme and nature of this blog.

So, EXO’s discography is fairly extensive, and diverse. But there we wanted to focus a little on some of our favorites, and yours too!

What’s so great about EXO’s music, is how it’s so nostalgic, it brings you back to something that you’ve heard somewhere else, but you can’t quite put your finger on it. They have a very good blend of 90s Boyz II Men vibes (What If, Tell Me What Is Love), The songs you heard back in middle school (Heart Attack, XOXO, First Love), the songs that put you in your feelings (One and Only, Moonlight) and the ones that make you wanna dance (Transformer, Monster).

It’s so refreshing, and not many groups can do it so effortlessly. But despite that the music itself is familiar, it’s still new and it’s still THEM. The perfect balance.  

So below, we rounded up some of our favorite R&B/Pop/Soul EXO songs that feeds into a little of what we’ve been talking about over the past few days. Feel free to tell us your opinions on them!
