glitteryvOut of all of SHINee's members, Onew is the one whose solo works have been my faves. Like, I was v. much on the fence abt his previous mini (Circle), but it eventually won me over, heheh. (For any Shawol out there, Key's my second fave w/r/t to his solo stuff (although both Good and Great + The Pleasure Shop have been misses. :((((.) After him, it's between Taemin and the Eternal Member in 3rd place. Unfortch for me, Minho's solo music hasn't been my cuppa (except for "Heartbreak").)
ANYWAYS, after a long hiatus due to health issues, Onew returned looking foxier, mellower. He dropped Flow back in early September. Aside from getting his health back, Onew's current approach to his career has been v. interesting. He signed with a new agency for all of his solo work (though he remains with SME for group stuff) AND he chose to not attend music shows to promote the title track and album. Instead, he's done some choice appearances at v. specific web series as well as live performances at festivals. NGL, it's been a total delight to see him back AND resetting his boundaries.
"Beat drum" is the lead single and wow, TALK ABT A COMEBACK SONG! From the bouncy melody, to his sweet voice and... ONEW RAPPING? YES, CHILD, HE'S RAPPING IN THIS SONG! It's a perfect tune to start the day with, NGL.
Simple yet so effective.
Behold the dance practice:
A performance MV so you can appreciate the dancing:
And, finally, here he is singing alongside a live band:
