LIGHTSABER - EXO
Just before the Star Wars release in December, EXO joins the craze and releases their collaboration song/film Lightsaber! For all you Star Wars fans and EXO fans, you are in for a treat with this song!
First in foremost, lets talk about the collaboration film. Kai, Sehun and Baekhyun were amazing actors! Who knew Baekhyun could get angry under all that funny and innocent image, but what was up with his bright red hair?! Thats okay, it is not toned down. I love how they were able to squeeze in a Kai dance scene as he was preparing himself for battle. I really wished that they had a least a scene where they were fighting with those lightsabers and I was a little disappointed not seeing all the members. I was also surprised that they didn’t put the whole song in the film. When I first saw the video I thought the song was only 2 minutes long, but thankfully it wasn't! But overall I am proud of these three and I’m pretty sure it got all their fans fangirling/fanboying all over them. I mean come on, who did not love all these scenes!? Baekhyun walking down the aisle with the lollipop in his mouth, Kai in his suit looking clean and slick waiting for the elevator and Sehun “driving” the motorcycle and talking his helmet off trying to look cool, they all looked so good!
On to the song itself! OMG I ABSOLUTELY LOVED THE SONG WHEN I HEARD IT IN THE TEASER. Chanyeol’s rap was just amazing! In my opinion it was the best out of all their songs ever released (please don’t hate me haha). I loved how it fit with the beat of the song, it was just so catchy. He did a great job and also Sehun's rap. This song really had that EDM feel, which is very appropriate for this century since it is the “go to music” genre nowadays. Even though I do not listen to that kind of music, this song is an big exception. I absolutely love Kyungsoo & Baekhyun’s vocals! Their voices were so angelic, I loved how it was mixed into the song. Especially Kyungsoo's lines before Chanyeol's rap, it was like the perfect place before the rap! I love the transition from something sweet and angelic to something fast and upbeat. All the members did a great job in the song and they all added something different. My favorite part of the whole song is of course the chorus! The chorus is very catchy, easy to follow and can easily get stuck in your head. The song is about protecting someone, being their lifesaver, which is perfect for Star Wars! Everything about this song is pure perfection. EXO most definitely does not disappoint when it comes to releasing new songs. Although this song was a little different from Kai's teaser back during their MAMA era, this version in my opinion is better. I really love the background music compared to the one in the teaser. I am glad and excited that they were able to have this collaboration. Who wants them to perform this live?! I really hope they do!
Wouldn’t it be great if those not in Korea heard this song before the Star Wars movie in the theater?! I know I would be jumping up and down in my seat haha. I will be very jealous if they did that in Korea, I would have to go to Korea just to experience it! Did you love the song as much as I did? Compared to Kai’s teaser, do you like that version of Lightsaber or do you love the new version? Leave your comments below and don’t forget to check it out if you haven’t yet! You can also support EXO by buying the song on iTunes.
