TAEMIN's Comeback Album Is Everything We Wished For

By Theresa Newstreet on March 5, 2016

Taemin, a member of the band SHINee, has granted us our wishes and has released his new comeback album, Press It, and I would like to personally thank him. This new fully released album has changed my life for the better in so many ways. The songs are extremely catchy and fun to listen to. The people Taemin had to work with on this album are full of Grammy Award nominees and winners, among them being Bruno Mars and Mark Rankin.

Do not let the language barrier deter you from listening because the first released single, Press Your Number (x) (x), is one of my favorite songs off the album and when listening to the song the listener can’t help but feel happy and dance around. Both the music and the dance performance video are works of art in terms of scenery, design, direction, and plot. The lighting is gorgeous and he performs as a professional, like always.

The second single he dropped was Drip Drop and the back-beat in this song is highlighted and used for effect. The beat in general is more sultry and fast and gives you a little more power in sexuality. A song off the album that was not released as a single is Sexuality. This is a song that lives up to the title and kind of changed my view of Korean pop. His tone and voice were sultry and seductive, but the pace was different. The pace or genre was more club and dance, but had a sexual feeling, making the song more modern.

Listen to this album on Spotify or buy it off iTunes, but somehow listen to the rest of this album. I have a firm belief that not all music has to have meaningful lyrics to be considered music or meaningful to someone. Although I do not fully understand entirely what he is saying on my own because I do not speak Korean fluently (even though I am currently learning), I enjoyed his entire album because of the energy and positivity coming out of it, as will everyone else who listens.
