SHINee's Key presents the diverse charms of the house genre through his new album.

Key will release his third mini-album, "Pleasure Shop," on major music sites at 6 PM on the 23rd. It consists of a total of six tracks, primarily in the house genre, including the title track of the same name.

Ahead of his comeback, Key teased some of the album's tracks on the 10th. The songs include "Overthink," "Golden," and "I Know."

First, "Overthink" is a song where repetitive synth arpeggios and rhythmic kick sounds harmonize. The addictive melody, reminiscent of a chant, captivates the listener.

The lyrics cleverly express the idea of stopping the endless stream of thoughts in the narrator's mind, likened to a virtual world.

Another new song, "Golden," is a dance pop track in the house genre. It combines a lively organ performance and synthesizer sounds centered on a nylon guitar.

The lyrics, with a romantic mood, are expected to captivate global fans. They depict the glittering times of youth and adolescence in golden hues.

Lastly, "I Know" is a retro house track. It is an attractive song with a variety of layered bass sounds, bright synth chords, and lively snap sounds.

The lyrics capture the narrator's aspect of ensnaring and beguiling the other person's unconscious mind, adding to the thematic coherence of the album. It is anticipated to receive a positive response.

Key also opened the teaser image for "Pleasure Shop" on his official SNS on the 10th. The futuristic visuals, reminiscent of SF movie characters, and the peculiar atmosphere captured attention.

Meanwhile, Key will also release the physical album of his third mini-album "Pleasure Shop" on the 23rd. Pre-orders are currently available at online and offline record stores.
