America's Billboard spotlights SHINee's new album, 'Odd'

America's Billboard spotlighted SHINee's new album, 'Odd.'

On May 21st (local time), America's Billboard headlined a new articled titled 'SHINee Embrace Old & New Sounds on 'Odd' : Track-by-Track Review' on the 'K-TOWN' page of their website. The article included reviews of all of the eleven tracks in 'Odd' album.

Billboard wrote, "Despite initially debuting with a R&B sound, SHINee is arguably most exciting when experimenting -- like when they mashed two album tracks together to promote the 'hybrid remix' single "Sherlock" in 2012 or added a pop sentiment to glitchy, industrial EDM on 2013's 'Everybody.'"

Regarding the album's title track, 'View,' Billboard wrote, "To kick things off, we return to the R&B side of SHINee with feathery vocals, tight harmonies and member Onew's falsetto howls acting a centerpiece to this grooving opener. A laid back, mature, somewhat sensual mood is created from the Jonghyun-penned 'Odd Eye,' setting the scene for a more mature SHINee."

Regarding another song called 'An Encore,' Billboard reported, "Even if it sounds like nearly every other uplifting ballad one's heard before, it feels like a fitting finish to the album. 'An Encore' also leaves a lasting impression that SHINee are one of those bands that feel like a collective, cohesive unit instead of five separate singers placed together -- a point that's tough to reach with male vocal groups, but SHINee's proven they're still raring to push boundaries and they'll do it best together."

Meanwhile, SHINee recently made a successful comeback with 'Odd' album.
