181126 SHINee Key FACE Media Showcase

"I felt like this was the right time. Although comebacks are all the rage at the moment, I thought it's more important to introduce my music now regardless of that. I worked slowly on my album since 1 yr ago and while promoting with SHINee."

by opening the above thread you can find a slew of translations about the album!

but two of the more important sections of the question & answer segment ...

181126 SHINee Key FACE Media Showcase

The 10 years of SHINee went by fast when it was fast and too slow when it was slow. I rarely felt regret. That time was valuable to me, and I doubt I'd be able to do as many activities alone without it. We're a group that's inseparable.

K: ‘FACE’ isn’t just simply a naming. If I were to connect my members’ solo album, Jonghyun’s ‘BASE,’ Taemin’s ‘ACE’ to follow that,I decided on ‘FACE’
It’s definitely bcoz I wanted to continue the sense of belonging in #SHINee. It’s right that I followed my members’ album name.”

I like it
but it feels very on trend with other songs I've heard before
It's well done, I love his singing/dancing/... but it's doesn't really do anything to me

[yejun.livejournal.com]

Just listened to the album on Spotify and it's very Key.
"I will fight" ft Vinxen is my fave song atm.
One of those nights is a good song, feels very Key but also very safe as a choice for title song.
I hope those who weren't feeling "Forever Yours" will like this better.

[agjingi.livejournal.com]

i don't mind the song at all, though it could've done without crush
some of the styling is a strong no but he's so beautiful he pulls anything off
i love the dancing on the floor in the rain scene wooooow
the sparkly jacket + mesh shirt is a LOOK

[neongoldtooth.livejournal.com]

It’s a good song, think I have to listen to it a few times to really get into it. Sometimes Key’s voice doesn’t work for me in this case it was good but I prefer hearing Crush singing more than him in this. His dancing was great. I love the part where he’s feeling it on the floor. Vibe wise, I hope the rest of the album is like this, but with harder bangers.
Also I was reading translations from his showcase: first off Minho is the bestest Shinee fan boy ever and I love that Key acknowledged the “plagiarism” with the naming of Shinee’s solo albums.💕 ugh these boys seriously make me so happy 🥰 can’t wait to get my album 😍

i love this so much AHHHHHHHH

[greasetastic-x.livejournal.com]

I love it i love him and im so proud

[chikage-chan.livejournal.com]

I like the song a lot, but i don't get the need for the featuring. The one with Soyou felt more organic, this was just needlessly overwhelming and made the song feel less his.

[vintage-boom.livejournal.com]

I rly love it! It feels very Key but also very current and matching the mood of the time of year. He's be preparing for this for a long time and part of me is rly happy for him that jjong was probably really excited for him and this debut, if the timeline fits the way it sounds like it fits.

Crush singing the chorus was an interesting decision, I'm into it! gonna listen to the rest of the album now

[volume1995.livejournal.com]

It's not something korea is going to eat up, unfortunately. At least he has all the shawols supporting him! I like the song but it's not as catchy / memorable as I wanted it to be!

[bruzte.livejournal.com]

i LOVE the song


edit: this broke me

This is good but it's making me sad. I love the Crush feature.

That part when he was talking about the 10 years of SHINee was great. Also I have to make my obligatory Kenzie shout out - I'm glad she was involved in this album.

[vintage-boom.livejournal.com]

It has that same bittersweet but hopeful feeling that Good Evening gives off imo a bit darker

yes @ kenzie! she's so good. SM better never let her go.

[lightframes.livejournal.com]

Yeah that's a good way to describe it! Bittersweet but hopeful.

[thebloomroom.livejournal.com]

Lol I just messaged vintage boom the same thing, like I am in love with the song but it sounds so sad it's just making me sad and I don't even speak korean

[lightframes.livejournal.com]

I'm glad it's not just me. I guess that feeling matches the lyrics, though.

[ohbubbajoan.livejournal.com]

Minho there for his showcase was very cute.
and the album is great, i've been listening to it the whole day. he did a very good job, i hope he's happy

[kcaomei.livejournal.com]

I LOVE IT SO MUCH i'm so happy for him and i couldn't be more proud<3

[aeipathy.livejournal.com]

i don't dislike any song on the album, but one of those nights is one of my least favorites lol. after only one listen through the album so far i love imagine, studio ver of chemicals, and i will fight. key did such a good job, it's a very him album.

[ashdevilrun23.livejournal.com]

keyyyyyyyyyyyy i like the song<3 and he gave me floor choreo so im happy forever
i don't think crush was needed on this tbh.
gonna listen to the album~

[mizukigirl.livejournal.com]

I love this song and the rest of the album :)

[keytfelt.livejournal.com]

I'm so happy with this song and MV and album. I've been replaying it all day. I’m just really impressed with how he’s improved vocally and hustled so much getting his name and face out there and worked so hard for this. The album is really excellent and I especially love I Will Fight, but as of now I'm still not skipping any songs.

[yxerin.livejournal.com]

after chemicals i wasn’t hopeful but i’m actually into this. it reminds me of tell me what to do but like. a better version of it

also the cinnamontography is 👌 and the bandana look is killer

[ursulavosyem.livejournal.com]

I LOVE THIS!!! Part of me feels that the feature wasn't necessary, but maybe he/SM thinks the song will do better with a feature? Either way, it's a good release, I'm super happy for him, off to listen to the whole album!

[broadcities.livejournal.com]

i think it's pretty good! a sad bop. crush' featuring kind of confuses me: i like his voice but every time he starts singing i'm thinking key w a different voice idk

[juhli.livejournal.com]

Wow I love it!
Also, don't think I've ever heard Crush sing a mid-tempo poppy song like this! I like it a lot!

[thebloomroom.livejournal.com]

sorry to comment so late (im playing catchup) but omfgggggggg I LOVE THIS SO MUCH. T-T Key is so talented. All of Shinee are.

[antrea.livejournal.com]

omg I love this kind of song...
