SHINee Don’t Call Me + one-line reviews

So in 2009, SHINee did a song called Ring Ding Dong
which… I can’t really tell what it’s about, apart from a girl? who is hot?
is it even about a phone?
anyway they use the “ring ding dong” in an onomatopoeic way
(and distort the vocal with autotune in a really fun way)

and in 2021
in Don’t Call Me
listen to what is happening musically in the verse
there is dead-ass a synthesised “ding ding ding” making up the rhythm section
until we hit the pre-chorus.
then it comes back! but with extra strings, and drama, and continues through the second verse
(you can hear it clearest in the red scenes)
and then the mad piano over the final part of the song!
and the dancing! outfits! freaking TAEMIN!

WTF even is this magic
SHINee are magicians

Wonho — Lose: cool MV, his body is just intimidating now, but looks like he wouldn’t be out of place in a gay club with that cap
Rhys Fulber is Rhys Fulber, nothing wrong with that, props for continuing to hire female singers
Body Beat Ritual: the name = the method? I could be into that, again with the gay club vibes
