2018 release, the third solo album from Exo's Lay. It has been approximately one year since the release of Lay's last solo album release, Lay 02 Sheep. Lay participated in composing and arrangement for all songs on the album and co-wrote the songs with many talented collaborators such as hot Billboard artist Bazzi, the talented producing team Rice n' Peas, American production team MARZ Music, 153 Joombas Music group amongst many other hit makers. The 11 tracks on the album feature songs of a variety of genres to highlight the diversity of Lay's musical abilities. The genres include Future Bass, Dance, Urban and Hip hop, and feature an English version of all 11 songs for a total of 22 songs. The single, 'Namanana' is a dance pop song with an addictive flute along with a heavy brass sound and exciting beat. 'Namanana' refers to an imaginary jungle where dreams never stop in which listeners can escape with the music from the stress of daily life to enjoy the moment and find their true self.

My Wig, My Soul, My Life.
Boiiii! Lay has snatched my wig, my soul and my life! This man is a legend, A King! Okay first off the production and beats being thrown down here are epic, his voice is smooth and his raps are on point. Give Me A Chance is a Bop, it sticks in my head all day, definitely radio material. Namanana is another Bop, it’s got that flow that you can just bob your head to. This whole album is freaking epic, also the fact you get the Chinese version is amazing! The packaging is on another level, I mean it’s beautiful. The tarot cards with Lay on them are so unique, the photo book took my soul from my body.... I literally died looking through it. What more can I say this man is talented and gorgeous. Now we wait for the EXO comeback so I can get snatched again. 😭

Holy Tamoles it’s the whole kit-n-kaboodle!
Aesthetically pleasing packaging. Incredible songs. Bonus items blew my mind: Photo book, Tarot cards and lyric booklet. US record companies need to sit up and pay attention.

NAMANANA!! Lay has outdone himself!
When I received this in the mail, I couldn't believe that it came with so much stuff! Lay and the studio made sure to not include his talented to music in English AND Chinese, but the attention to the details is astounding!The box cover is amazing with the illustrated view finder on front.The artwork carries over to the book (yes book, not booklet) with amazing and glorious photos of Lay throughout the whole thing. The book also has lyrics in BOTH languages which is such a bonus for us! It has the promoted photo of Lay on the reverse side of the book, but I forgot to get a photo of that side.Inside you will also find peeking through the clear viewfinder a nice sized slip box with thick, and well made photo tarot like cards featuring a different image on each one. So many to look at and they have a nice finish on them that makes them matte but shiny.The CDs are in a slipcase with one CD featuring the music in Chinese, and the other one in English. Both have detailed artwork on each one that makes it tie in together nicely with the book and album cover box.The music is top notch from the Last Sheep of China! It definitely shows why he is the King Sheep. While fans of EXO miss him deeply, this is one way to still enjoy his talents as a solo artist. He put a lot of work into this album and it shows tremendously. All of the details, songs and overall package is definitely worth buying.

It's beautiful, expect to cry.
Yixing completely spoiled us for third child, this album is just.... wow. A whole pack of tarot photocards on shimmery and sparkly paper, photo book, beautiful packaging (it's like one of those fake book boxes) and two cds. Throughout are beautiful pen and ink illustrations. Haven't been able to listen to the album yet but Yixing always delivers so I already know it's good.Thank you Yixing!

Lay has done it again. Namanana is a master piece.
Love this album. There wasn't a single bad song on the whole album. You will not be disappointed. Just a heads up there are 4 versions of the photocards.

Amazing ALBUM!!!!
At first glance, I thought this album just looked good. But after exploration, I found it is just amazing!!!! Have the different set of tarot card in the different album so if you love collecting, you should definitely buy more than 4 albums to achieve your collection! Unfortunately, I bought 4 but only get 3 set, maybe more later. And its case and the card case will reflect the rainbow color in the sun or light! LOVE it so much and at last, there is no doubt that the MUSIC is the MOST AMAZING thing. Hope LAY achieve his music dream in the world!!!

So Many Goodies Inside!
I was really enthusiastic to support Yixing on his debut US album. Considering I’ve never purchased a K-pop, or in this case, M-Pop album before, I didn’t expect a fraction of what I got. I was so pleasantly surprised. The contents of the album were a photo booklet, two versions of the album in cardboard sleeves, and a ‘tarot’ like deck of Yixing photo cards. The only issue that came from my album is that the front cover has a sheet of sturdy see-through plastic, that is only glued down along the perimeter of the case, so at one point, the plastic sheet cover popped off. I simply re-glued it, and wasn’t bothered beyond that. Overall, this was such a great music purchase!

Namanana
Yixing outdid himself once again in creating an album that is not only musically intricate but also physically. As usual, Yixing always works to make his "children" as individual as possible and Namanana is truly unique. The cards are beautiful, and the quality is amazing. The boxing of the entire album is beautiful. Every song on the album also held its own individually and it's really not a Yixing album without him experimenting different sounds while also intertwining with his previous releases.It was probably due to the shipping, but my box came a bit torn. However, I was able to tape it from the inside so it wasn't much of a problem afterwards!

A Masterpiece
Every song on this album is phenomenal, you can just sense how hard Lay works and as a Yixing (Lay) stan I'm so incredibly proud. To not only write and produce his album in his own language he also did it in English, which not many people do and I'm so happy and grateful to him. Both versions are special in their own unique way and I love them so much.The tarot card deck is honestly so beautiful. The whole album is just aesthetically pleasing and I couldn't have asked for more.My album arrived WAY sooner than I expected I got it in under 2 weeks. I am extremely happy. This is WAY WORTH THE PRICE. This is the album of the year right here. I've had this album on repeat since it arrived and I'm so glad I now have the physical version. It's just THAT good that I can't choose a favourite because I change my mind with each song.This album is just THAT good I managed to get someone who doesn't stan EXO or Yixing to stan Yixing like that's the power he and this album holds. Take the world by storm, Xingmis/XBack/EXO-Ls are with you all the way.
