Atlantis Album Review: SHINee - Area
SHINee have added a few b-sides to their re-package album, which I will be reviewing.
Area is a mid-tempo song with an R&B flair. It is something you would see a lot on SHINee albums, especially in their early days. That said, Area is one of the more generic songs they have released in this style.
The chorus is driven by an incredibly different falsetto, led by Onew. Still, I wish they had Key and Minho do a deeper voice while Taemin and Onew went high, leading to a nice flair. I also enjoy the production value occasionally brought on, such as the tinge of brass.
The main interest in Area is the lyrics written by Minho. They portray loss as a missing piece in a puzzle. It is one of the more clever lyrics this year so far and makes me hope to see more lyrics written by Minho coming up soon. One of my main complaints about Don't Call Me was SHINee's lack on involvement, and Area partially redeems that aspect.
