Taemin already had us excited for his new album with the news that Bruno Mars had contributed to the production of one of the songs, but his new video for the buzz single for the infectiously fluid Drip Drop is icing on the cake.

Taking its inspiration in production from a combination of 90’s studio tricks and Michael Jackson style dance tracks, the song has a R&B feel in sections and an almost EDM feeling in others.  His vocals on the track are really minimal at times and the more verbose section of the beatwork threaten to drown him out at times, although it never happens.  The song as a whole is nice though and worth a few listens.

The real highlight of the this is video where the singer puts in some strong dance moves both with a crew and solo out in the desert.

Lyrics:
You are falling down from the sky, and it’s moist
Hitting the surface of water, it makes circles on it.
I can’t avoid you
Who came here riding the gravity

Drip Drop, one drop by one, to my heart
Drip Drop it wets me more
Drip Drop just like this music
Drip Drop Drip Drop on me

Knock knock You knocked my heart
With ticklish whispering
This feeling is, baby, maybe
Sinking into the broad ocean which is more blue

Than just blue. It’s like a navy color.
I even like the cloudy weather if I’m with you
Dark clouds become comfortable shadows.
You are a drop of rain but you are the ocean to me

I’m facing the vast ocean
You swallow me up with that motion
I can’t escape from it
Oh I should hold myself up

Don’t lose the way, take the helm again
Again, tick tock, the clock ticks by
A compass that’s broken down. Where should I go?
I pull up the anchor again and try to get away from this anchor
I sail toward her

Come slowly and swallow me up please
Make this trembling heart sleep
Only your hands can calm
these waves down yeah

Drip Drop, one drop by one, to my heart
Drip Drop it wets me more
Drip Drop just like this music
Drip Drop Drip Drop on me

Following the speed of my heart growing
You are flowing into my time
It feels like I’m dreaming peacefully
As if it was one from the beginning
We are dancing together
