Taemin has finally made his solo debut with his mini-album, 'Ace.' It's hard to believe SHINee's maknae has matured into a man, but he's holding his own by showing fans how talented he really is.

On August 15, SMTown released the music video for his lead single, "Danger." The track has a unique sound (think Michael Jackson x EXO x SHINee). The song is an upbeat dance, electro song about some 'Twilight'-ish love story. His vocals are really smooth, ranging from a low whisper/growl to the high-pitched, "dangerrrr." And of course, this dark yet catchy song paves way for an artistically creative music video.
Although there isn't a storyline to the video, there is a lot of style in the lighting, angles, and concept of each shot/scene. For example, I love the contrast of the dim-lit warehouse to the all-white room. In addition, Taemin dons a lot of interesting looks. From a sparkly blazer to a nose-to-earring, a sweat band, a mesh shirt, there were so many different accessories that he made all look incredibly eerie throughout the video.
As for the dance and choreography, Taemin has been known to be a dance-machine, so it's no surprise that his motions are clean and fluid. The dance is reminiscent of SHINee's previous single, "Everybody," with an added twist to it. While there isn't a "point" dance move that you are going to see non-dancers (like myself trying to copy), it looks complicatedly cool nonetheless.
Overall, I think his debut single and music video are good--I think he represents himself and his own individual style really well. With further growth and development, I'm excited to see what else he has in store for us!
