JAKARTA - EXO group leader, Suho, inaugurated his solo debut by releasing a song called Let's Love which was taken from his first album, Self Potrait on Monday, March 30. The title Let's Love is certainly no stranger to EXO-L (EXO fans) because these words are the slogan of the EXO group.

Let's Love is a rock ballad track that focuses on statements of love that must be expressed even if it is difficult. The music video also focuses on Suho with a messy museum background. Dark green colors dominate the visuals of this music video.

This six-song mini album has a rock ballad genre with a concept that continues in each song so that listeners will feel a story. Before releasing this album, Suho had the opportunity to show his solo vocals through the song Curtain and Dinner. One of the tracks on this album, Starry Night, is a continuation of the song Curtain released in 2017.

Through this album, the singer whose real name is Kim Junmyeon wants to show his fans the music he does besides being with EXO. On the one hand he feels anxious, but enthusiastic about the results. The choice of Self Portrait as the album title originated from his fondness for Van Gogh's paintings that he saw while traveling. This inspired the selection of the album cover and title.

“I want to make an album which is a portrait of myself. I express everything from the album album to the lyrics and contents of the album, "he said as quoted from Soompi. He also admitted that he participated in all the process of making the album.

The actor of The Present claimed to have told other EXO members about the title of his single song. EXO's response was enthusiastic and the title must have meant a lot to EXO and EXO-L who have been with them for almost a decade.

Not alone, Suho invited singer Younha on the track For You Now, which was included in the album. Initially, this track was meant to be sung alone but it seems more interesting when there are female vocals in it. In addition, Suho - who has the nickname SH20 - also played a big role in writing the lyrics for every song on this album.

For this debut, Suho was confirmed to be visiting several music shows and providing question and answer content and meet and greet sessions online via VLive. Meanwhile, the release of Let's Love was warmly welcomed by fans through the hashtags #LetsLoveSuho #Self_Portrait and Let's Love With Suho which aired on trending topics on Twitter. Suho's Self Portrait album can be enjoyed physically and digitally.
