태양, 평창 동계올림픽 성공 기원 응원곡 ‘LOUDER’ 발표
- 더블랙레이블 막강 프로듀서 지원 사격
- 멜로디컬 기타 사운드와 파워 보컬 조화

‘2018 평창 동계올림픽’ 홍보대사로 위촉된 빅뱅 태양이 신곡 ‘LOUDER’를 오는 10일 낮 12시에 발표한다. 
‘LOUDER’는 이번 동계올림픽의 성공적인 개최를 바라는 마음과 더불어 ‘우리 모두 힘차게 소리치자’는 메시지를 담은 곡이다. 
‘LOUDER’는 록과 팝을 적절히 접목시켜 대중성과 음악성을 동시에 챙겼다. 시원하게 터지는 후렴구가 인상적이며, 멜로디컬 기타 사운드와 태양의 진심을 담은 파워풀 보컬이 돋보이는 곡이다. 
‘LOUDER’에는 더블랙레이블 소속 프로듀서들인 테디와 R.Tee, Joe Rhee, 24 등이 참여해 음악성을 높였다. 태양의 3집 ‘WHITE NIGHT’에서 최상의 호흡을 보였던 이들이기에, 이번에는 어떤 시너지를 낼지 기대되는 상황이다. 
태양의 작사, 작곡 참여 역시 주목해야할 부분이다. ‘2018 평창 동계올림픽’ 홍보대사 위촉 당시, 누구보다 적극적으로 기쁨을 표한 태양이 진정성 있는 메시지를 어떻게 풀어냈을지 기대된다. 
태양의 파워풀한 보컬과 ‘2018 평창 동계올림픽’에 대한 마음을 느낄 수 있는 ‘LOUDER’는 오는 10일 낮 12시 국내 주요 음원사이트를 통해 들을 수 있다.

TAEYANG 《QUINTESSENCE》

《QUINTESSENCE》是一张源于TAEYANG对"本质"长久思考的专辑。
它以音乐呈现出一段寻找那些不可见却最为重要价值的旅程。
TAEYANG并未急于定义所谓的答案，而是将重心放在探索过程中所面对的自我提问、情感，以及自身的态度之上。
这些源自个人叙事的提问，期待通过音乐延展为一种共鸣，触及每位听者内心深处的本质。


“Quintessence”

The word that constantly stays on my mind.
And the word that is most needed for this generation.

I completely put myself into this process — my love, my joy, my passion — but sometimes I had to face my own madness along the way.

I can’t say that I found the perfect meaning of “Quintessence”, but my journey in searching for it became the path that shaped this album.

One thing that is clear to me is that it already exists inside of me, and also inside of you.
Through this process, I may discover the answer on the next page.

It may just seem like music, but it could be something beyond that.
I hope that one day you will find it within yourself too.

The thing that is most important but unseen.

燃烧的疾驰，永恒的残影。
《LIVE FAST DIE SLOW》呈现出在瞬息万变的现实中坚守自我核心、奋力前行的宣言。通过将痛苦与毁灭转化为炽热明亮的意象，这一充满悖论的表达传递出在无尽道路上依然不断前行的坚定意志。

质朴歌词与深远共鸣交织，在听者心中留下悠长余韵。

7. YES
Lyrics by TAEYANG, Paul Blanco, Vince
Composed by Paul Blanco
Arranged by Paul Blanco, BRLLNT

立体声场与克制的人声形成对比，反而带来更强烈的印象，是TAEYANG全新尝试的代表作。
反复出现的“Yes”极具中毒性，为歌曲提供持续推动力。
从桥段过渡至尾声部分，运用“BIGBANG”与“2NE1”的《Lollipop》采样，成为瞬间反转能量的关键触发点。

一首传达TAEYANG在“如果今天是最后一天”这一设想下，对挚爱之人所说之言的作品。

独特质感的声音设计与丰富和声相互融合，清晰呈现出TAEYANG特有的情感线条。

10. 4U

在准备《QUINTESSENCE》的过程中所经历的多重情绪流动中，TAEYANG将对未来的期许以及永不终结的“永恒”讯息凝聚于这首收官之作中。

QUINTESSENCE

TAEYANG's second EP ALBUM [Down to Earth], which captures his sincere personal story, has been released.

'VIBE (feat. Jimin of BTS)' was released in January of this year and reestablished TAEYANG's unparalleled identity.

TAEYANG partook in the entire process of creating the EP ALBUM [Down to Earth], which includes various musical genres such as ballads, hip-hop, and soul which capture his personal stories to the fullest.

[Down to Earth] emcompasses diverse colors of the sunset as well as the nightfall, which allows listeners to sense TAEYANG's growth and maturity.

[Artist's Note]

This album comes from various emotions and inspirations that I felt underneath my skin as I gazed at the sunset.

The sunset, which decorates a day’s end, welcomes the dark night and not a new morning.

Just like the sunset, my world is colored with beautiful memories of the past,
but what came back to me was the ceaseless night that followed.
Thus, I began to realize that the image of myself over the past 6 years was not much different than the sunset.

In a way, I was deeply touched and felt relief by the silent sunset and how it greets the night,
fulfilling its role in the most beautiful way possible.

The repetitive and burdensome times that I could not overcome alone
naturally guided me 'back to the drawing board.'
Thus, this album allowed me to capture my heart that was ready to jump back up into a fresh new start.

I, now, have a glimpse of an understanding
that the prior experiences and stages of my life were indeed necessary
as I prepare to open this new chapter of my life.

Thankfully, I became more humble for this new beginning
and I would gladly lower myself even more to greet this moment.
This album is also an outcome for my cherished relationships with those
who stood by my side and gave me that extra push.

To the producers and staff members at THEBLACKLABEL, who offered me a new home and a new nest, and to my fans, who waited all this time without any guarantees, I want to express my infinite gratitude.

In hopes that this album and music become a little seedling
and one day turn into a healthy tree
In hopes that one day, it will bear beautiful flowers and fruits…

这次TAEYANG将把这十年来作为艺人兼音乐人的音乐成就浓缩于SOLO第三辑， 完美呈现出百分百的TAEYANG。

01. 白夜

前奏以钢琴演奏开始，通过Sidechain效果演奏出白夜般的氛围。再加上TAEYANG柔和歌声融为一体，是最能呈现出本次新专辑的风格的Future R&B歌曲。歌曲越是临近重句部分，架子鼓色彩越来越浓。临近尾声，歌曲又一次颠覆听众的预想，上演反转节奏，让人难忘。

02. WAKE ME UP

该曲以直观的弹奏和丰富的贝斯元素，充满优雅感。该曲将异性比喻为“梦境”，并将此情感通过充满空间感的主唱和梦幻般的编曲，融合得恰如其分，让人印象深刻。歌曲选择动态控制和架子鼓元素，与TAEYANG真诚的歌唱形成巧妙的结合。

03. DARLING

导入部通过个性十足的弹奏方式和哼唱的方式开始，是一首非常独特的R&B歌曲。该曲亮点是以TAEYANG独特的感性诠释出世界最普遍的感情“爱情”，其最典型的中速编曲令人难忘。歌曲的感情达到高潮时的演奏则以宏伟的架子鼓和个性十足的结构，让DARLING变得更加独特和标新立异。
 
04. RIDE

Future R&B歌曲，融合了当代最流行的时尚元素和独特的节奏。将男性希望与心爱的人一起去游玩的心情，用非常干练的方式呈现出来，令人印象深刻。该曲充满浪漫氛围，其桥接部分的EP弹奏和Trap变奏，预计将会给听众带来听觉享受。

05. AMAZIN'

该曲以DISCO节奏为基调进行编曲，将TAEYANG都市感性展露无遗。厚重的打击和复古风Snare元素和TAEYANG充满男性魅力的歌声融为一体。动感的曲折和承前启后的故事感也令人印象深刻。歌曲将男性与自己心仪的女子在一起时的好心情，用非常自然的方式呈现出来，属于最大的亮点。

06. EMPTY ROAD

开头忧伤的节奏和电子音吉他的演奏成为主基调。在整张专辑中，该曲属于最为平静且让人放松的歌曲。该曲呈现出爱人突然不在身边，或者所有人都会感受到的突如其来的空虚感，用非常真诚坦率的方式表达出来。该曲非常适合那些为寻找目的地而忙碌，但却迷失方向的人们听。.

07. NAKED

装饰高音部分的BOX节奏和快节奏钢琴Chordshot形成该曲的主旋律。属于能够充分凸显出TAEYANG性感歌声的Future R&B歌曲。雄伟和纤细同时孔村，表达出对刚认识的异性感到的魅力和本能。桥接部分的节奏和充满活力的编曲方式与其歌词巧妙融合。
 
08. TONIGHT feat. ZICO

属于个性十足的 R&B歌曲。其主旋律吉他节奏和新颖的和声方式非常独特，很难在现今歌坛上找得到。架子鼓元素和黄金搭档铜管独奏的结合尤其凸显。将异性相吸的感觉，用非常浪漫且梦幻的方式呈现出来。该曲由Artist ZICO担任Featruting，为了强调ZICO的Featruting，歌曲将该部分动态节奏减下来，让人印象深刻。该曲属于前所未有的新风格R&B歌曲，预计会长时间被人相传。

WHITE NIGHT

BIGBANG成员太阳携新专辑《RISE》正式回归，专辑共9首歌曲。
预告封面中太阳打开翅膀般伸展的双臂，配合异国风情的背景以及光滑且线条分明的背部曲线。画面中的太阳脱去上衣，悠闲地走在他乡的街道，给人带来自由奔放的感觉。

6월. 따뜻한 봄을 지나 햇살이 점점 뜨거워지는 이때, 그 열기에 박차를 가할 또 하나의 태양이 떠오를 준비를 하고 있다. 눈부시고, 강렬하며, 화려하게 빛을 뿜어내던 BIGBANG의 태양. 무대 위의 존재만으로 눈부시고, 그의 퍼포먼스는 모두를 열광하게 했다. 하지만 이번에 떠오르는 태양은 좀 다르다. 아니 특별하다. 특유의 화려함을 덜어낸 채 자신의 진심을 표현했고, 뜨거운 퍼포먼스를 보여주기보다 한 소절 노래와 목소리에 더 큰 힘을 실었다. 
지금까지의 태양의 모습에서 많은 것을 덜어냈지만 그래서 더 눈부시다. 가만히 노래하지만 어느 때보다 강렬하다. 바로 태양의 본질. 진정성이 담긴 음악을 고스란히 이번 앨범에 담았기 때문이다. 태양의 지난 4년간의 치열한 노력과 열정. 그 정수를 이번 앨범 ‘RISE’에 담았다.

첫 정규앨범 ‘Solar’이후 4년 만인 태양은 오랜 기간 작업에 공을 들여왔다. 최근까지도 자신의 SNS에 해외 유명 가수들과의 작업 소식을 전하며 기대를 높여왔다. 국내 음원 사이트는 물론 아이튠즈 차트에서도 5개국 1위를 차지했던 ‘링가 링가’ 가 바로 그 신호탄이었다.

2014 YG의 세 번째 주자인 태양. 세상을 비출 준비는 끝났다. 이번 정규앨범 ‘RISE’는 타이틀곡인 ‘눈, 코, 입’을 필두로 ‘새벽한시’, ‘버리고’, ‘이게 아닌데’ 등 이전에 화려했던 모습들이나 비주얼적인 측면이 부각된 것이 아닌 한층 힘을 뺀 느낌의 곡들로 이루어져 있다. 

그동안 파워풀한 퍼포먼스로서의 기량을 맘껏 뽐냈다면, 이번 앨범에서는 보컬리스트로 변신해 아티스트로서 그가 갖고 있는 음악에 대한 진정성을 보여준다. 목소리는 훨씬 더 풍부해지고 다채로워졌다. 특유의 그루브 있는 창법과 감성은 팬뿐만이 아니라 누가 들어도 그 만의 소울을 느끼게 한다. 
오랜 시간 심혈을 기울여 준비한 만큼 “4년이란 시간이 지금의 음악을 만나기 위한 긴 여행 같았다.” 라고 태양은 말한다.

LA에서 촬영된 티저영상과 자켓은 태양이 갖고 있는 느낌을 있는 그대로 가감 없이 보여준다. 음악적으로 완성된 진한 소울에 흑백의 모노톤으로 연출된 영상과 사진은 과장된 색감의 그 무엇보다 태양만의 색들로 채워져 컬러풀해 보였으며, 태양 특유의 아우라는 절제된 섹시미와 진정성을 보여준다.

새롭게 떠오르는 또 다른 태양. 세상 어디에나 태양이 비치듯, 그의 이번 앨범도 사람들의 마음 곳곳에 뜨겁게 비출 것이다. 햇살 아래 눈을 감 듯 자연스럽게 태양의 목소리를 느껴 볼 때다.

*앨범은 디럭스 버전의 한정판(1만장)과 일반판 두가지 버전으로 발매된다.
