SHINee’s maknae (youngest), Taemin may have been the first member to have debuted solo singles such as “너란 말야 (U)” and “Footstep” previously but this year, the group’s powerhouse vocalist Jonghyun will prove his singing ability by debuting as a solo artiste with his first mini album, “BASE”.
SHINee’s Jonghyun will make his solo debut in just less than a week as his 1st mini album “BASE” will be released on 12th Jan 2015.
Prior to the release of Jonghyun’s 1st mini album, SM Entertainment released the jacket images of his album, giving fans a first look at the concept of the album.
The company also revealed the featured artistes and the title track’s name through various teaser images. So far, it has been revealed that Wheesung, Younha, and rapper IRON will be featured in his album. Jonghyun will collaborate with IRON and DJ Fenner to his title track called “Crazy (Guilty Pleasure)”.
According to Koreaboo (citing xportsnews), this song is influenced by the neo soul punk genre with a retro pop style. It is a much anticipated collaboration as rapper IRON has received much praises from the public through his performance on Mnet’s survival show, “Show Me The Money 3″.
Check out the teaser video of the song below:
As we’ve previously mentioned, Jonghyun will release his first mini album BASE on 12th Jan but before that, he will kickstart his solo promotions by holding a showcase on the 8th. He will also appear in various music shows including KBS Music Bank on the 9th, followed by MBC Music Core on the 10th, and SBS Inkigayo on the 11th.
