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.

Another track, “Still Raining,” blends pluck synth with laid-back rhythmic instrumentals to create what the agency described as a dreamy R&B pop atmosphere. The song captures the emotional jolt of feelings that arrive unexpectedly “like a sudden shower,” while reflecting on memories
