SHINee's Taemin, with his subdued charisma, captivates listeners with the diverse messages and vocals in his new mini-album 'Guilty.'
SHINee's Taemin, who turned 18, unveiled teaser images for his new mini-album 'Guilty' on various SNS platforms. In the images, Taemin garnered attention with his natural visual and languid atmosphere.
The track 'The Rizzness' included in this album is an impactful hip-hop song with impressive 808 bass kicks and intense synth bass. The unique mood of the sound is enhanced by the organ and electric guitar tremolo. The lyrics convey a message to those easily swayed by the words of the world to listen to their own voices, and Taemin's restrained charisma is present throughout.
Another new song, 'She Loves Me, She Loves Me Not,' features Taemin's signature guitar riffs and vintage synthesizer sounds, creating a melancholic hip-hop-based track. The lyrics liken the moment when love is fading to withering flower petals.
Furthermore, 'Blue' is a hopeful song that offers a harmonious blend of vintage drum sounds and emotional instrumental sources. The lyrics reflect the time when longing for freedom and dreams is met with a "blue light," and Taemin's delicate yet strong vocals complement the mood.
'Guilty' will be released on various music platforms with all tracks available on the 30th of this month at 6 PM, along with the physical album release on the same day.
