SHINee’s Jonghyun to compose EXO’s new song

SHINee’s Jonghyun has been revealed to have composed ‘Playboy’, a track from EXO’s upcoming album EXODUS.

Their label, S.M. Entertainment, shared that a group of producers and songwriters from all over the world gathered to pen the 10 tracks that will be featured on their second full-length album. Apart from Jonghyun, big names such as Teddy Riley and Kenzie were part of the brains behind the album.

It was further revealed that there will be a total of 20 versions of EXODUS, with each of EXO’s ten members having two covers each – one each for the Korean and Mandarin versions, respectively. When all ten versions of each language’s album are put together, their spines will also form EXO’s logo. In addition, there will be 10 versions of posters and 20 photocards for the release.

EXO is still in the midst of releasing video teasers for each member, with all except for D.O. having been revealed as of today (March 27). The aggressive promotion tactics for their upcoming release raised anticipation levels among fans to extreme levels, with some likening their promotional tactics to that of when they first debuted.

EXODUS is slated to be released on March 30.
