지난 7월 발매한 첫 정규앨범 [SOLAR]로 미국 아이튠스에서 동양인으로서는 최초로 'R&B/SOUL 앨범' 차트 2위, 캐나다 차트에서는 1위를 차지하며 화제를 모았던 태양이 인터내셔널릴리즈 앨범을 발표한다. 앨범에는 기존 정규앨범에서 들을 수 없었던 두 곡의 신곡을 비롯해 ‘Wedding dress’의 영어 버전 등 그 동안 발표했던 곡들 중 해외 팬들이 가장 좋아할만한 곡들을 골라 총 12곡이 수록된다.

이번 앨범 타이틀곡은 “ I’ll be there” 라는 곡으로써, 이전에 선보인 “I need a girl”이 부드러운 미디움 템포의 R&B 곡이었다면 “ I’ll be there”은 강하고 빠른 비트의 힙합 R&B 곡으로 전세계 팬들을 위해 한국어와 영어로 각각 녹음하여 앨범의 가치를 높였다.

아울러 이번 앨범에는 지금까지 발표된 태양의 모든 뮤직비디오와 메이킹 필름을 담은 DVD가 보너스로 구성되어, 새로운 사운드뿐만 아니라 태양 특유의 화려한 퍼포먼스까지 함께 즐길 수 있다.

한편 태양은 오는 9월 25~26일 경희대 평화의 전당에서 "만 18세 이상관람가"와 "전체 관람가”로 총 2회에 걸쳐 솔로 콘서트를 진행할 예정이다. 특히 이번 콘서트는 90% 이상 라이브 밴드로 진행되어 음반과는 또 다른 태양의 매력을 느낄 수 있는 기회가 될 것이다.

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…

LOUDER

彰显强大存在感的TAEYANG即将推出准备已久的第三张正规专辑“WHITE NIGHT”。

 TAEYANG表示，希望通过新专辑“WHITE NIGHT”，呈现出更加坚固的音乐世界观和艺术性，以及自己的音乐风格。 TAEYANG不仅作为BIGBANG的成员，还作为SOLO歌手，不断谋求成长，为打造高品质“WELL MADE ALBUM”做出了不懈努力。

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
