4 Songs We Need to Hear From the KEYLAND: Uncanny Valley U.S. Tour

by Tayah Fox

KEY, a singer, songwriter and member of the iconic K-pop boy group SHINee, is embarking on his first-ever solo tour in the United States. The idol teased the North American leg of this tour during his KCON LA 2025 performance, inciting a flurry of cheers reflecting his demand from American fans.

KEYLAND: Uncanny Valley will begin on Dec. 3 in Los Angeles and travel through various cities, including Oakland, Dallas, Brooklyn and Chicago, before concluding in Seattle on Dec. 15. In anticipation of KEY's first solo U.S. tour, we've compiled a list of songs we need to hear on the tour's setlist.

'Gasoline'

Hailing from the vocalist's second studio album of the same name, "Gasoline" is an intense track backed by blaring horns and pounding bass. The use of these elements creates an anthemic atmosphere, ideal for an explosive opening performance. From the build-up to the first verse and KEY's iconic, graceful stroll into the center of the stage, "Gasoline" is one song that will make the setlist feel complete.

'HUNTER'

This '80s-inspired retro funk song appears as the title track of KEY's third studio album, HUNTER. With the groovy synth-pop rhythms flowing through the music, it would be a fitting piece to maintain the crowd's energy after an electric opening. As the singer's most recent release, it's almost certain that this track will make an appearance.

 

'Intoxicating'

"Intoxicating" is one of KEY's hidden gems from his second mini-album, Good & Great. In the song, the singer highlights the insatiable grasp love can have on an individual over a house-pop, synth-filled instrumental. Although the track isn't as popular as the others on this list, it would be a pleasant surprise for his most avid fans to experience this gem live.

'One of Those Nights'

Of course, "One of Those Nights" has secured a spot on our dream setlist. As KEY's solo debut title track, we couldn't imagine a concert set without it. The mellow tone of the acoustic guitar would create a calming atmosphere, allowing audience members to cool down from the high-energy performances earlier in the concert. Saving his first song for last would be an appropriate way to finish the night with style.
