YG Entertainment previously made an announcement through the agency’s official blog that they will discuss the solo album plans of all Big Bang members. If today’s message hints anything, looks like we’ll have to wait a day for news about each of the members. First off? G-Dragon.
- When will he plan to release his solo album?
“Big Bang’s G-Dragon released his first album in August 18,
2009 right after his 21st birthday and it’s currently planned that his
second studio album will be released exactly four years later on August
18.
Just like his first studio album, G-Dragon will be
composing and penning the lyrics to all of the songs as well as
producing each and every track. There will be ten new songs included in
the album.
He will use all of his energy to work on the last stages of
the album like the music video filming and album jacket photoshoot from
the beginning of July.
Just want to say again, this album is similar to the mini
album released last September by the fact that it has the feeling that
one is finding a hidden treasure from a box.”
- Any characteristic regarding the second solo album?
“Rather than having a lot of foreign artists featured on
the album. We thought about having a single ‘legend status’ foreign
artist on the album. Rather than having a male rapper, YG wanted a
female rapper to be featured. The answer was so simple and everyone
reached a consensus. The person is Missy Elliott.
YG spent a lot of effort the last months personally giving
Missy Elliott G-Dragon’s music. She was interested in his music and his
creativity, and decided to collaborate by featuring in his album.”
- Please explain more about the track, which features Missy Elliott
“YG’s main producer Teddy made this track,
which is similar to Missy Elliott’s music that consists of distinct hip
hop beat. G-Dragon and Missy Elliott talked on the phone and came to an
agreement on the song. G-Dragon wrote the lyrics and rap and sent the
demo to the States. Missy Elliott received the demo and perfected the
song with her rap.
This track will have a voice sampling of Korean folk song “Nuil Lil Li Ya.” This hip hop track will have Korean influences and will be a distinctive hip hop track.
Also, DJ and composer Diplo will be
involved in this album. And we will make another announcement regarding
his album after his album’s tracklist is officially revealed.”
- What about Taeyang’s solo album plans?
“We’ll get back to you tomorrow.”
