Exo Kai has just released his third mini album, ‘Rover.’

Kim Jong-in, known by his stage name, Kai, debuted in SM boy group EXO in 2012 and has won the hearts of fans around the world with his impressive dance and vocal abilities, and his charismatic looks.

There is not a single song off of this album that screams title track more than ‘Rover.’

With it’s impressive choreography and sexy sound, this track has been swirling around the kpop community with many idols taking part in the ‘Rover’ challenge, including TWICE’s Momo and SF9’s Taeyang.

The track features choreography made by the famed Korean choreographers Bada Lee and Jrick Baek, who even show off their skills in the ‘Rover’ challenge as seen below!

The MV has already surpassed 12 million views in just a week since its release!

This track gives off more of an R&B vibe compared to title track ‘Rover,’ and the lyrics address themes related to society’s addiction to social media.

‘Black Mirror’ almost serves as a wake up call for all social media users since he sings about how you can’t tell who people really are behind a screen, or the black mirror, since they can be whoever they want to be on social media.

One of my favorite lyrics from the track also explores this theme when it says “the more I fall for it, the more I’m unable to escape,” which refers to falling into the trap that is social media.

‘Slidin'' is one of the more sensual songs on the album and has a very unique beat that makes you want to replay the track over and over again.

Including lyrics like, “you’re like the rainwater I’ve longed for you,” it is definitely a song about a strong physical and emotional relationship that you can’t get enough of!

With this song giving the same energy as title track ‘Mmmh’ from his first mini album, Kai obviously wants us to “groove all night long” to ‘Slidin.’’

Listen to ‘Slidin’’ below!

‘Bomba’ is going to be one of kpop’s songs of the summer!

With Latin and reggaeton inspired beats and lyrics, the track perfectly suits Kai's addictive vocals and effortless dance style.

As one of my favorite songs on the album, I can only hope that he performs ‘Bomba’ live very soon, or at least releases a dance or MV for the track!

The title of this song speaks volumes as to what the song means, which is simply to say “I love you.”

The track has more of an eerie feel with the trap beats and the desperate yet emotional lyrics.

It almost has a double meaning since the lyrics can be seen in a romantic way, or in a way in which someone desperately craves to hear these words from their significant other, even if the person saying them doesn’t truly mean them.

The final track on Kai’s third mini album, 'Rover,' is the song ‘Sinner.’

As the last song on the album, it is lyrically one of the more meaningful ones compared to the rest of the tracks that have more upbeat and sensual lyrics.

‘Sinner’ expresses the guilt that one feels when they let down someone they love, and how they will be shattered if that someone leaves them.

Ultimately, ‘Sinner’ wraps up the ‘Rover’ album very well, and shows the duality and artistry of EXO’s main dancer, Kai.
