G-Dragon reveals details on Big Bang’s comeback album

Big Bang’s leader, G-Dragon, dropped additional details about the group’s first album in nearly two years and three months, and asked fans to anticipate great changes as well as variety in their work.

In a recent interview with Star News, he revealed that all of their songs were done recording and that the album was in its finalization stages. The singer continued:

“The members of Big Bang have been working on the album very consistently.  The overall style of the album is geared towards being public friendly with comfortable music that literally anyone can follow along to.”

I think Big Bang will be able to achieve great things this year due to some of the big changes that have been going on.  It’s not only the Big Bang members themselves who have changed – the internal composing staff we’ve been working with has also been completely switched up. Consequently, there will be a lot more collaborations with foreign composers.

But one of the foreign composers isn’t Will.I.Am, who’s currently working with 2NE1 for their U.S. advancement. They’re musicians beyond what anyone’s guess right now. You’ll all be surprised once you listen later, so please look forward to a lot more variety to Big Bang’s image.“

As revealed earlier, the group’s comeback album will not feature any solo or duet tracks, and consists of songs with all five members.  The album is scheduled for release on February 24th.

Seungri featured on Brazilian TV as the Korean Justin Bieber & Justin Timberlake

Aside from gaining a nod from Perez Hilton, Big Bang’s maknae Seungri has found himself in the foreign spotlight – specifically, in the form of a two-minute feature report on the Brazilian news program “Leitura Dinâmica.”

After a summary of the widespread popularity of Western artists like Justin Bieber and Justin Timberlake, Seungri was introduced through his latest music videos and hailed as a promising up & coming artist, similar to the Justin’s in terms of mainstream popularity and style.

Here are the translations of the report:

“Justin Bieber and Justin Timberlake are important names of the actual pop music and serve as reference for many people. Even for a South Korean singer. “Somebody To Love” is still on the radio, in Justin Bieber’s voices. The forgotten “Sexy Back” from another Justin was the start of everything. The two singers already got the top place in the music rankings, but they will stay back after this, because Seungri is the man.

Member of the boyband Big Bang, the South Korean singer made a new MV. He has the same music style of Justin Bieber, Usher and Timberlake. We found some similarities with Usher, Timberlake and Bieber. Seungri doesn’t talk about his references. “VVIP” is already in the online music charts, it’s a hit on the Korean radios and prepares his way in America. Justin Bieber and Justin Timberlake should be careful!”
