SHINee’s Key (under SM Entertainment) is set to showcase the diverse charm of the house genre through his new mini-album Pleasure Shop. The third mini-album will be released on various music platforms on September 23 at 6 PM, featuring six tracks, including the title track Pleasure Shop, which will allow listeners to fully enjoy Key’s unique musical style.


One of the standout tracks, Overthink, is a house track that blends repetitive synth arpeggios with rhythmic kick sounds. The song captivates with its addictive melody, while its witty lyrics convey a message about stopping the endless flow of thoughts in the speaker’s mind, comparing it to a virtual world.


Another new song, Golden, is a dance-pop track centered around nylon guitar, combined with bright organ and synthesizer sounds. The lyrics romantically describe the shimmering golden moments of youth, evoking a dreamy and nostalgic mood.


Additionally, I Know features a retro house sound characterized by layered bass, bright synth chords, and upbeat snap sounds. The lyrics depict a speaker who captivates and enchants the unconscious mind of another, adding thematic continuity to the album’s storyline, which is expected to receive positive feedback.
