Universe – Winter Special Album, 2017

EXO\'s annual winter-music release returns for its fourth year and boasts its most inclusive message yet. The boy band\'s vocalists shine on the moving title-track ballad and nail the vocal acrobatics in \"Lights Out,\" while bringing an emotional depth to snappy, modern R&B productions via the hopeful, synth-heavy \"Been Through\" and acoustic-leaning \"Fall.\" But what might be the biggest present to fans is how the entire album uses gender-neutral pronouns, a progressive decision that makes *Universe* a release that anyone can appreciate.
