EXO’s KAI Arrives With Sultry Debut Single: ‘Mmmh’

South Korean group, EXO’s, KAI, has arrived with his debut solo single, and kicked off his official solo career. The sultry track arrived with its very own music video (and a high-budget one at that), and finds its place on his debut mini album: ‘KAI’. This project marks the start of the star performer’s solo career, following in the footsteps of his fellow band members.

‘Mmmh’, much as the title suggests, is a sultry ode to an all-consuming love. Kai sings, “The scent of a flower/ Girl, is this yours?/ Jasmine hovering around you/ It’s kind of familiar/ Do you also fall asleep with the scent?” And, in disarming fashion, the chorus hits listeners sooner than you’d think. To a familiar R&B beat, Kai, croons, “You make me feel so/ Mm-mhm/ Breathe out and exhalе like/ Mhm”.

Accompanying the release earlier today was a high-budget music video boasting stunning visual effects, haute couture and precision-driven choreography. The star, supported by back-up skilled back-up dancers, delivered signature choreography combined with some elements of contemporary dance and a whole lot of sensual movement.

‘Mmmh’ finds its place on Kai’s self-named debut mini album. The project further features tracks like ‘Hello Stranger’, ‘Amnesia’, ‘Reason’, ‘Nothing on Me’, and ‘Ride or Die’. With this album, fans get a new look at the veteran K-Pop performer. Shining in the light of a solo performer, his voice (perhaps for the first time in years), takes center stage.

‘KAI’ and ‘Mmmh’ are now available on all streaming platforms.
