SHINee will release a repackaged version of their fourth album “Odd” with four new songs including a new title track “Married to the Music” on Aug. 3, SM Entertainment said Wednesday.
The album will include 11 songs previously listed in “Odd,” in addition to the four new songs.
The group swept local music charts with “Odd,” released back in May. The album won them top spot in the iTunes album charts in six Asian nations, as well as top spot on Billboard’s world album chart. The music video for the song “View” was chosen as the most viewed K-pop music video in the United States and across the world in May.
