SHINee is returning just in time for the start of summer, leaning into romance, memory and emotional aftershocks with a new album suffused with rain-drenched imagery and sleek pop production. The veteran K-pop group said Tuesday that its sixth mini album, “Atmos,” will be released June 1 at 6 p.m. across major music streaming platforms. The six-track album includes the title song “Atmos,” along with B-side tracks that explore different shades of love, longing and fleeting connection. Among the new songs is “HOURS,” a funk-pop track layered with disco influences, groovy bass lines and half-time rhythms that give the song a polished but nostalgic feel. The lyrics center on a desire to gather not only shared memories and romance from the past, but also the moments yet to come with a loved one.
