EXO-CBX
High-gloss dance-pop fueled by retro funk and soaring three-part harmonies. It is the sound of a neon-lit weekend where the hooks never stop and the energy never dips.

EXO-CBX is the sonic equivalent of a perfectly mixed cocktail on a rooftop bar. While their parent group EXO often leans into dramatic, conceptual storytelling, this trio focuses on the pure, unadulterated joy of the groove. Their sound is anchored by a sophisticated blend of 70s funk, 80s synth-pop, and modern K-pop precision, resulting in tracks that feel both nostalgic and cutting-edge.
What truly sets them apart is the vocal firepower. In Chen, Baekhyun, and Xiumin, you have three of the most distinct and capable vocalists in the industry. They don't just sing hooks; they weave intricate, multi-layered harmonies that elevate standard dance tracks into masterclasses of vocal arrangement. The production is consistently bright, featuring slap bass, crisp brass stabs, and shimmering digital textures.
Start with 'Hey Mama!' for a blast of retro-funk energy, then move to 'Blooming Day' for a more refined, weekday-themed pop experience. If you want to hear their emotional range, 'Paper Cuts' showcases their ability to strip away the glitz and deliver a powerful, harmonized ballad that resonates long after the beat stops.
Exo-CBX (Korean: 엑소-첸백시; RR: Exo-Chen-Baek-Xi) is the first sub-unit of South Korean boy band Exo, consists of three members: Xiumin, Baekhyun, and Chen. They debuted on October 31, 2016, with the extended play (EP) Hey Mama!.
