STILL RAINING
We’ve now reached the portion of the album the place issues decelerate. SHINee are on my very quick listing of Ok-pop teams with nice ballads, so a slower track is nothing to concern from them. With that stated, Nonetheless Raining is my least favourite observe on ATMOS.
I wouldn’t name this a ballad. It’s extra like a pensive mid-tempo, underlined by muted manufacturing and a subdued beat. This gives house for SHINee to flex their vocals, however let’s be sincere they flex their vocals on up-tempo tracks too in order that’s probably not a defining issue.
The track itself is kind of fairly, bringing a fragile power to punctuate the nonstop social gathering we’ve been having fun with up up to now. However after I place this within the pantheon of similar-sounding SHINee songs, there’s nothing Nonetheless Raining does that’s notably distinctive or important. It’s merely a pleasant change of tempo that works effectively on the second half of an album. My spotlight is the Onew-led energy notice that sweeps us into the ultimate refrain. You realize I like some good musical drama!
