EXO’s Kai made his long-awaited solo comeback on April 21 with the release of his title track, “Wait On Me,” along with its official music video. The song will serve as the centerpiece of his fourth mini-album of the same name.
The album comes after two years since the latest release of the idol, “Rover,” in March 2023, featuring a total of seven tracks. “Wait On Me” has surprised the K-Netizens for its Afrobeats rhythms and layered synth string sounds, something fresh to the Kpop scene.
Kai has delivered an A-Song with a refined groove and emotional tension, artistically portraying the theme of patience and the elegance of waiting. In addition, the music video showcases a dreamy desert setting. K-Netizens praised the aesthetic of the video, particularly a striking scene of Kai walking down a long hallway accompanied by dancers that captured attention with its unique choreography and visual storytelling.
