It's finally here! Less than an hour ago, Chanyeol officially released his first mini album “Black Out”, officially launching his solo career. To celebrate, let's take a closer look at the album!
Chanyeol debuted as a rapper in SM Entertainment's boy group EXO in April 2012. In 2014, he presented his first solo song “Delight” on the live album “Exology Chapter 1: The Lost Planet”. This was followed by further singles such as “Tomorrow” for SM Station Season 4 and “Good Enough”. Since 2016, he has also played leading roles in films and series such as “So I Married an Anti-fan”, “Missing 9” and “Memories of the Alhambra”.
CHANYEOL (EXO) - BLACK OUT (THE 1ST MINI ALBUM)
Today, Chanyeol is not only celebrated for his talent as a rapper and actor, but also for his deep and gentle voice. Fans have been waiting a long time for Chanyeol to release his own album and now, 12 years after his debut with EXO, this dream is finally coming true.
In our store you will find four different versions of the album: The two photo book versions “Day” and “Night” as well as the Special version and the SMini version.
It contains six songs: “Black Out”, “Hasta La Vista”, “Ease Up”, “Back Again”, “I'm On Your Side Too” and “Clover”. The whole album is characterized by strong instrumentals and a rocky sound.
“Black Out” begins with a calm guitar melody. The tempo increases quickly, but the song remains melancholy. Chanyeol sings about his life turning black without you. The traffic lights are broken, his life is messed up and he feels alone.
When are you going to listen to this song? We think it's the perfect song for an evening stroll or a drive through the city at night.
A music video for the song “Back Again” will also be released on September 6th.
Get the album now!
Chanyeol is already the eighth member of EXO to debut solo. Lay started a solo career back in 2016 and every few years another member followed his example. By now, all but Sehun have established themselves as solo artists and even perform at international festivals or organize their own world tours.
IVE have released their second Japanese mini album “ALIVE” today!
The music video for the title track “Crush” was released two weeks ago, but the album is only out today.
