Although Luhan is no longer part of EXO and therefore has nothing to do with K-pop anymore, most of his fans stem from his days in Korea so I will still review his tracks in this blog. He just released his Chinese solo album soon, Reloaded, and the title track is called "That Good Good." Contrary to the image portrayed under SM Entertainment, he aims to give off a more manly image this time around and it works for him.
The track is a mix between Hip-hop and EDM, mixing a deep, heavy bit with electronic sounds to keep up with the current trends. The overall feel of the song also reminds me (and other listeners) of Justin Bieber's former releases. Some of the harmonies are a bit off and seem out of place, especially in the beginning, but Luhan does well on the bridges and chorus. A bit too much auto-tune was used throughout, but the end product is still a well put together song.
The choreography in the music video for "That Good Good" successfully captures the feel of the song and showcases Luhan's dancing abilities, as we weren't able to see his full potential before in a group full of other members. With Luhan's rising popularity in China and existing fans from EXO, this track will surely be a hit. 3/5
