Kim Jonghyun has come a long, long way. He’s my ‘ultimate bias’ for a reason.
We all know Jonghyun as the main vocalist of SHINee. But through his solo mini-album last year, he spread his wings and forayed into the music world alone. What a victorious feat was ‘Base’, his 1st EP. He also has his self-composed mini-album ‘Story Op. 1’ under his name.
We always knew he could sing. But the man has written the lyrics of all the 9 songs on his 1st Full Album and has been involved in composing 8 of them.
“She is” is the title track of his 1st full length album. It’s been on repeat for the past hour now, ever since the music video was uploaded on YouTube. It is a fun electro-punk song with an earworm chorus that will make you sing along.
The music video doesn’t have a story-line. Or at least that’s what I think. The contrast, fade and saturation in the music video could confuse you at first. It’s meant to be that way, you guys. The funky bright colours are there to make a bigger impact.
I love how Jonghyun has grown so much as an artist over the years. But he still wears heels unapologetically, to propel his height (he’s an inch taller than I am). Some things never change.
P. S. Doesn’t the vibe and colours match Taemin’s ‘Drip Drop’ from his 1st solo album? I would like to believe it was done on purpose. Because SHINee is the only group I would be willing to call myself a fan girl for.
I’m off to listen to the rest of the songs on the album. ♥
