And I flipped out for no reason. I saw a tweet on my phone and went into my crazy madwoman mode searching all the Korean fanboards for more legitimate news and it turn out just to be the same 30 seconds that Tae Yang released with his “Where U At” MV.
But for the hell sake of it, here it is:
I just had a newly discovered appreciation for Tae Yang’s music, as odd as it may sound, after listening to his album nonstop the last few days, in particular “Where U At.” I realized how intricately composed and arrange his pieces are: there are layers and layers of instrumentals that combine to make a very rich sound. I hadn’t noticed this about “Look Only At Me” or “Prayer” until very recently. “Where U At” is a big song, it captures you right away, but it does not mean it’s not also exceptional on the more detailed level. I find myself really digging the arrangement of this song, especially the trumpet-like strain that comes in right before Tae Yang starts talking. I guess that all this attention to detail in the music itself (YB the perfectionist) was why he got so much critical acclaim and most significantly the 2 Korean Music Awards. “Wedding Dress,” so far, is no exception. Again, Tae Yang co-composed this with Teddy. I am curious to what other potentials he has left to reveal to us.
I quote myself once again: “Youngbae, I only expect world domination.”
- TaeYang from Big Bang to unveil his new single, “Wedding Dress” shortly.
- According to the YG Entertainment official press release today, TaeYang’s 2nd digital single is coming out on the 13th.
- TaeYang will continue his promotional activities, inclduing TV appearances, until the end of the year.
- Wedding Dress is co-composed by Teddy and TaeYang.
- Wedding Dress is a slow R&B song that has both popular appeal and artistic merit, much like Look Only at Me.
- TaeYang will make the TV debut performance of his new single on SBS Inkigayo on the 15th, coming Sunday.
This is the guy who said, “… TaeYang’s Look Only at Me is my song of the year.” (Read “What They Say About TaeYang”). He is still a fan boy – he may not make a whole lot of sense - and he knows it - but one thing seems clear to me: he wanted to use this opportunity to praise TaeYang lol:
Special Feature | SeungGhi Lee vs. TaeYang By WooChul Jang, GQ Korea Features Director / Edited by Naver Music
Oh, my. What could there possibly be that could make those two rivals? It’s even hard to imagine them standing side by side. I checked if they are the same age, just in case – well, they are not. First, when I think of Seung-Ghi Lee, these things come to my mind: a baby brother, a well-behaved youngest son, a younger date, a model young man, a record 70% viewership rating, huh-dang, older women fans (noona)… It’s like a flood gate opened. How about TaeYang? A feel? An instinct? Performance? I’m not sure but thoughts are not exactly pouring out. Certainly, I do not intent to describe them as rivals in this article. Let’s not get over-sensitive about the expression, “versus.” Now, let’s begin, shall we? I chose to discuss about those two together because I wanted to offer my observations on what’s going on today through two twenty-something male vocalists who are on top of their game.
I think I actually shed a tear~
It was GREAT seeing the boys on stage together with a new song and new choreography. They did fab, and I gotta give it to Daesung for his stellar live vocals, Taeyang was awesome as usual and even Seungri did good. GD & TOP well, they did a lot more dancing than singing ~lol
^ watch at 3:14 – GDYB almost hit each other ~haha and Seung-Ri lip-syncing to Tae Yang’s part at around 2:45
In other announcements:
The ATY Twitter family is going to make Tae Yang a trending topic on Twitter. We attempted last time, but this time it’s gonna happen! For all you Tweeters, join us on Tuesday (11/10) evening, starting at 5PST/8EST, (or Wednesday (11/11) morning if you’re in Asia) in this mission. The plan is to have everyone tweet about Tae Yang (#taeyang) in a short amount of time to bring him up on the trending topic chart. And if you haven’t done so, follow us!
And of course we’ll be hosting our ChattYBox parties again to celebrate the release of Tae Yang’s single. For the time being we’re gonna assume that it’ll be released on the original date, 11/11, but it’s more likely to be on the 13th or even later considering YGE’s disregard to deadlines. But more on this as it gets closer.
This is the video the animation on the side panel is from =)
Subs are hot off the press, YT will probably clear up the quality shortly~ enjoy!
Also, I have been asked by a the owner of Taeyang Heaven to see if any bloggers are interested in some events they’ve got going on over there, so check it out if you are =)
More news about Wedding Dress..here’s a date change (surprised?).
It’s speculated that Taeyang’s Wedding Dress MAY be released Nov 13 but it is not entirely certain. Earlier today, Mnet posted up a preview list of releases this month and Wedding Dress was one of them…See below:
But it was abruptly taken down by Mnet later in the day, See below:
Fans are speculating the information is 80% true and that Wedding Dress is scheduled to release Nov 13th (from the original Nov 11) but that YG wants to keep this a secret, and thus told all the music sites to keep it under wraps. It’s either that, or it was some false information.
