It picks up some surprising pace by the end of the track though, for those accustomed to the dreamy, relaxed pace at the beginning. It’s set to a minimal mix of piano, jazz bass and brushed percussion, as well as some occasional string parts that wander in and out of the song. The song itself functions as the ultimate easy-listening experience. She dominates the song, but Onew’s versatile and warm voice acts as a very appropriate counterweight to that, giving a much-needed depth to the harmonies. What’s immediate to point out would be that Lee Jin-Ah has an incredibly distinctive tone: liquid, delightfully childish, and somewhat reminiscent of J-pop singers (think Kyary Pamyu Pamyu or Perfume). “Starry Night” sees SHINee‘s Onew pair up with K-pop Star alumni Lee Jin-Ah for a charming coffee shop jazz ballad.
