SHINee’s Minho has released his second mini-album, "Make it hot" on September 7.
The album comprises a total of six tracks, including the title song 'Make it hot.' It offers a diverse range of charms, spanning from Minho’s signature "hot" energy—perfect for turning up the heat of late summer—to a deeper, more mature emotional sensibility.
The title track Make it hot is an intense, passionate song about a burning mutual attraction. It is a pop-dance track infused with EDM elements. It delivers an immersive experience by blending exotic percussion rhythms, a heavy bassline, and a passionate chorus melody. The lyrics intuitively capture the emotions felt as two people are drawn to each other and grow closer amidst the sweltering heat.
Additionally, the album features "Liquid (Feat. Belle of KISS OF LIFE)" "Ending Scene," which pairs lyrics about deciding to let go of a relationship without regrets with Minho’s calm vocals, and "Love Me Now," which depicts the act of letting go of past memories with a smile; together, these tracks portray the moments of a breakup and the story that follows.
You can also discover tracks with distinct charms, such as ‘Time 1.1’—which conveys the message of moving forward at one’s own pace and on one’s own schedule through funky synth sounds—and ‘Out Of My Hands,’ a cool, dark R&B hip-hop track that exudes the confidence to trust one’s choices and head toward the future, rather than dwelling on regret or hesitation.
