SHINee's MINHO showed his immersion in increasing the perfection of the song 'Out Of My Hands', a track from his second mini album 'Make it hot', through the revealed recording process.

Discussion of Vocal Tone and Details in the 'Out Of My Hands' Recording Studio

According to the released recording site video, MINHO and the production team discussed various singing methods and pronunciation details to bring out the atmosphere of 'Out Of My Hands'. In the video, the cast mentions, "Don't make the mouth pronounce too accurately, just let it flow," undergoing a process of intentionally adjusting pronunciation to capture the feeling of the song.

In particular, in-depth discussions continued regarding the expression methods for the chorus and ad-lib sections. In the lyric section "The feeling of pouring it all out fills my whole body with breath," he is captured adjusting the intensity of his tone, saying, "I won't do it too aggressively." Additionally, in the lyric part "With two fists," they focused on increasing the song's perfection by setting specific singing directions, such as "To bring out the style, you need to hit a low upwards."

Lyric Revision and Dynamics Adjustment Process by Section

During the recording process, revision work was also carried out considering the delivery of the lyrics and the flow of the song. In the video, a scene is confirmed where they share opinions on the method of delivering lyrics, saying, "It seems like the dice should rather be released through breath." Furthermore, multiple repeated recordings were conducted to check if the lyrics of certain sections matched the atmosphere of the song.

Discussions also continued regarding the composition of the latter half of the song. When an opinion arose that "This sounds too sluggish," the process of adjusting the song's dynamics appeared, with a suggestion like, "Wouldn't it be better to go in powerfully at the beginning?" MINHO focused on controlling the energy of the song, stating, "I think I need to increase the tempo a little more" in sections such as "Fear is my excitement."

Having finished all the recording processes, MINHO expressed his thoughts on this mini album through his impressions. MINHO explained that 'Out Of My Hands', one of the tracks on this album, was a song with a peak feeling that he recorded last.
