Bigbang's Taeyang Stripped Himself Of Gimmicks And Flashy Elements, And A Shirt, In His Very First Lead Single Off His Brand New Album "Rise"
Bigbang vocalist Taeyang makes a statement by stripping himself of all gimmicks, flashy elements — and a shirt — for an adult-R&B sound and simplistic video with "Eyes, Nose, Lips." It's the lead single off the K-pop star's new full-length album "Rise."
In His Brand New Single, "Eyes, Nose, Lips", Taeyang Reflects On The Way He Treated A Past Love While Recalling Her Features
Spending the first verse and chorus accompanied by just a piano, Taeyang doles out reflective regrets of the way he treated a past love while recalling her features like her eyes, nose, fingernails and red lips.
The new album’s lead single is the R&B track “Eyes, Nose, Lips,” which was jointly produced by YG’s main producers TEDDY and DEE.P.
Agency YG Head Yang Hyun-Suk Said He Was "Instantly Moved When I First Heard The Powerful Lines Of 'Eyes, Nose, Lips' Sung By Taeyang"
In fact, Yang liked the track so much that he actively gave suggestions for how its music video should be made. “It was the first time since Big Mama’s ‘Break Away’ MV 11 years ago that I proposed my own ideas for a YG artist’s music video,” Yang said.
"Rise" Is Taeyang's First Full-Length Album Since 2010's "Solar" And The K-Pop Star Was Involved In Composing And Writing Most Of The Tracks On His New Album
"Ringa Linga" and "Eyes, Nose, Lips" both appear on "Rise," Taeyang's first full-length album since 2010's "Solar." While these singles show off both his EDM, hip-hop and contemporary R&B tendencies, the "Rise" tracks show off more of Taeyang's musical sides. There's modern-day R&B on album intro "Rise" and the LP closer "Love You to Death," synth-pop on "1AM," and even gospel on the empowering "Let Go."
Taeyang's album "Rise" was released digitally on 2 June.
