The Line of Best Fit

After a long wait for a fully-fledged venture into the solo arena, D.O. delivers on all possible expectations with a fittingly warm cocktail of genre-bouncing, and plenty of style, in Empathy.

After nearly a decade of playing his part in the K-pop boyband EXO, singer Do Kyungsoo finally claims his much-deserved spotlight with his first solo project

Utilizando de uma sonoridade simples de balada, D.O lança seu primeiro mini álbum solo, um disco satisfatório, mas um pouco decepcionante para um álbum que estava tão animado pra ouvir.

A title é a faixa mais decepcionante, uma baladinha com sonoridade acústica bem básica, que só se salva pelos belos vocais de D.O. As B-sides são bem melhores que a title, destaco "Dad" e "Si Fueras Mia", que apesar de ... read more

Good album for D.O. solo debut, variety of genre and great vocal makes up the album. Ironically the english and spanish version of rose and it's love is better than the korean one

I wish there would be more variety, the songs basically sound way too similar.
