#16: Lucifer (SHINee) - After having a monster debut with ‘Replay,’ SHINee established themselves as one of K-pop’s most respected boy  groups for their boundary-pushing production and performance concepts. Their daring aesthetics are exemplified by the punchy electro-pop hit ‘Lucifer’, Whose insistent chorus likens an angel-faced lover to the devil herself– not to mention a cowriting credit for a then-18-year-old Bebe Rexha. While it’s unison-sung refrain is immediately sticky, it’s verses and post-chorus allow each member to showcase the individual personalities that make SHINee such a commanding act. –M.J

‘2 KIDS’ is described as an ‘Electro-Pop’ song that Taemin is shared to have participated in writing lyrics for Taemin to share his new album "Never Gonna Dance Again" in 3 parts.

🖤:Electro-pop song impressive with warm guitar sound 🖤:Taemin participated in writing lyrics about 'memories of clumsy love and painful breakup when young' 🖤: Minimal track + Taemin's delicate vocal maximizing lyrical mood 🖤: Expected to show Taemin's side as emotional vocalist

As Taemin has solidified identity he’s shown so far, he’s expressed his concerns & challenges in finding a new identity as an artist; this prologue single metaphorically expresses painful growth pains & raising expectations. ‘2 KIDS’ lyrics contain break up memories due to clumsy child love.

“When I watch him sing and how he vocalizes, his breathing patterns — I feel like I’m taking a vocal lesson,” says Taemin of his bandmate. 

“Me, Taemin hyung and everyone here have different styles of dancing and how we represent ourselves on stage, so when I look at them on stage, I get the tips and tricks,” Ten says, referring to Taemin with the term for “older brother” in Korean. SuperM includes some of the dancers widely acknowledged to be the best in K-pop, but each has a distinct way of executing choreography and freestyling, as displayed through their individual performances

Taemin, whose SHINee bandmates are in the military, is working on a solo album scheduled to drop in March.

On Jan. 30, the artists will come together once again as SuperM and tour cities from San Diego to Vancouver. All eyes, no doubt, will remain on the act as it strives to become a major player in the music scene beyond South Korea.

In this location It’s important to look at the sky and spare some time for your feelings” he noticed.

Each country has a scent, you can get inspiration from even just a bridge”  In late autumn, Okinawa night, the sentimental mood has increased. Another reason for it was that it was almost time for the tour to finish. As for these feelings; “I felt reluctant in many ways” he expressed himself in Japanese.
