The single 'Poet | Artist' by the group SHINee (under SME) will release its audio and music video for the title track today (24th) at midnight.

The single 'Poet | Artist' by SHINee consists of two tracks: the title track of the same name and the included song 'Starlight.' Both tracks will be released at midnight (0 a.m. on the 25th) across various music sites, and the music video for the title track 'Poet | Artist' will also be available through the YouTube SMTOWN channel.

The title track 'Poet | Artist' is an electro-pop genre song that features a vocal riff as its main theme, blended with a snare that has an attack feel and reggae rhythms. The lyrics convey a message encouraging breaking boundaries and creating new experiences, applying poetic freedom as a poet and artist not only to art but also to everyday life.

Additionally, the included song 'Starlight' is a medium-tempo dance pop track that evokes a sense of freshness with funky electric guitar sounds enhanced by synth pads. The lyrics draw parallels with the emotions experienced upon first encountering someone, likening them to being illuminated by starlight while in darkness. The bright energy of SHINee's vocals and the layered harmonious harmonies make for an enjoyable listening experience.

In particular, before the single's audio release, SHINee performed the new songs 'Poet | Artist' and 'Starlight' at their seventh solo concert 'SHINee WORLD Ⅶ [E.S.S.A.Y] (Every Stage Shines Around You)' on the 23rd, receiving explosive reactions from the audience with new music that embodies SHINee's unique color and captivating performances filled with delicate details.

Also, a teaser for the music video of the title track 'Poet | Artist' was surprise-released after the encore performance of this concert, eliciting enthusiastic cheers. It was also uploaded at midnight on the YouTube SMTOWN channel, indicating a music video that harmonizes with the sensuous yet lyrical song, drawing heightened attention.

Following the performance on the 23rd, SHINee will hold their seventh solo concert at the KSPO DOME in Olympic Park, Seoul, until the 25th, and will release the single 'Poet | Artist' physically on the 26th.
