For those of you who have been in a bat cave for the past month or so, IT’S TIME TO COME OUT! Seriously, it doesn’t matter how important your school work is, or if you have to run to work in the next five minutes. Whatever you do, take ten minutes out of your time to listen to the wonderfulness that is GDTOP.
To quote a line from one of their songs (Intro) “If you didn’t know, now you know…BLAH!”. But seriously, if you don’t know, now you have no excuse because just about EVERYONE (who knows who GDTOP are of course) can’t stop gushing about their new album.
Still lost? I’ll start from the beginning. It all started about a month or so ago when YG Entertainment stated that Big Bang would be having their comeback sometime at the end of 2010 or the beginning of 2011. YGE later came out to say that Big Bang would no longer be having their comeback stage at the end of this year but would be coming back in February of 2011.
In the meantime however, G-Dragon and T.O.P. would be forming their own unit (GDTOP) and would release a full length album on December 19th. While Seungri would release a single sometime in January. To kick off their promotions though, the boys would have their premier live on Youtube on December 14th, which they have already done.
Now, this is where you come in because if you missed the live premier and hence the preview of the songs on their album, you need to get your behinds to a computer asap…yeah, it’s that good!
The album showcases GD and TOP’s hip-hop roots, but it also incorporates so many other elements such as rock (in TOP’s Oh Mom) and electronica (which can be seen in Oneul Ddara), so there’s something for everyone.
Having just listened to a few of the songs, it’s impossible not to get hooked. First example is the song Oh Mom which is performed by TOP. The songs starts off with a rock-ish intro and then continues with TOP singing and then bleeds into a captivating chorus, which for some reason, only TOP seems fitting to sing.
Next is Obssesion, which is written by G-Dragon. While the song starts off calmly, it quickly transforms into a powerful track, combined with a catchy as hell chorus that you just want to keep hitting the replay button.
For now however, you’ll have to live with previews of the songs, but not to fret because their album comes on December 24th so stay tuned!
For those who want to see a snippet of the premier, here’s GD & TOP talking about their song High High:
