Hero 899 Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 I know that Chanyeol composes beats and stuff from Roommate, and that Lay has apparently composed more than 100 songs of his own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
00ca 104 Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 I think they might be able to, but probably not now. Maybe in a few years or when their popularity dies down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sinnfb 10,968 Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 I think they will but it will take a while and it will probably be tracks for other groups/artists just like they used one of Lay's songs for one of the SM Rookies teasers or filler tracks for their own album.

Sooyoung's Wife 3,713 Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 Considering a couple of them compose and write lyrics I think SM would let them do it over time. They've let other artists like SJ, SHINee, BoA, and SNSD do it. I think they'll wait a couple years before letting them write / compose songs for their albums.

bella 7,052 Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 a title track? i don't think so but maybe like suju they may let them take part in the other tracks in the album Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kinjiki 1,999 Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 No. They're practically just models that SM have employed to sell other people's music in the pursuit of CF deals, mass fan service and lipsync events concert tickets and merchandise sales. Don't get it twisted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mog 5,083 Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 They've already let Lay's solo stage at their concert be one of his own composed songs and dance, so I doubt they'd be too against it. I'm sure within time we'll see more things. They like to show some of the member's musical interest in things too much for them to completely disregard it on a future album.

HerShe 3,066 Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 Lay's solo stage has his own composition. I hope they will allow Lay to take part at making the chinese version of their songs, like he already said he wanted to and also to be able to contribute with new songs.

Nini Bear 3,530 Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 Of course they will be able to one day, it's not all that surprising as some of you may think. Perhaps it will not be for their own, or not a title track per se, but they will definitely get the chance to compose music (probably a song on the album that is not a title track) if they are any good. SM is not that shallow. But you don't expect that to happen after merely two years, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Girl Talk 1,960 Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 I've always wondered why SM wouldn't allow idols to help with the composition of songs, if anything that would be a good PR move. So I came up with this theory, is it possible that Kenzie (and the other SM songwriters whose names escape me) have some sort of large stock in the company that allows their contracts to include a clause that limits the participation of outside writers? At the very least for their title tracks? By doing this the SM songwriters have a monopoly on the regularly successful SM singles. Not trying to knock SM, business is business, I'm just wondering what the reasoning could be behind this. To answer the OP I'll echo the main sentiment in the thread: no I don't think this will happen anytime soon, and when it does I'm highly doubtful that they'll be allowed to participate in the writing of a title track.

''' 650 Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 probably slowly. Lay composed the BGM for Seulgi and Irene's dance teaser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yagura 12,799 Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 Lay's solo stage was a song he composed. So maybe in the future. I think people forget that they only debuted 2 years ago and even if their fanbase is huge it's not stable yet. So they need SM to give them good songs and albums.

It's all about money. If they give too much creative freedom for their idols they will have to start sharing more money with them so they avoid doing it for as long as they can get away with it.

loveappeal 5,535 Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 I give it a couple years before they actually get to compose the songs. It might be sooner with lyrics though (like, example: Jonghyun wrote the lyrics to "Juliette" less than a year after SHINee debuted and he's been writing lyrics for them for virtually every mini/album ever since, but he didn't actually do a composition for them until this last summer/five years after debut). A lot of people act like SM doesn't give any of their artists creative freedom or let them contribute to releases but that's totally not true! TVXQ, Super Junior, SNSD, SHINee, f(x), they've all contributed to releases for their own groups and even for other groups within the company (like Changmin wrote SHINee's "Sleepless Night"). So, eventually! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they give too much creative freedom for their idols they will have to start sharing more money with them so they avoid doing it for as long as they can get away with it. Yeah but the distribution of that money is relative to who worked on what. For example let's say Lay composes the title track to an EXO comeback instead of someone like Kenzie. The money that would have previously gone to Kenzie would now go to Lay, so SM isn't losing any money, they're still spending the same amount of money, only they're now paying someone else.

aris 285 Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 If they do, they'll have to learn how to do so on their own accord (sm ain't teaching them) and in their own time. Likely, it'll also only be kept on side-tracks as well. I don't think sm would block them entirely, but they probably prefer their idols to not have musical autonomy, since it's riskier and would probably make it easier for idols to leave and stand on their own w/o a powerful company backing them.
