June release for Tae-yang’s solo album
Tae-yang
Tae-yang, who debuted in leading boy band Big Bang in 2006, has built his identity as a competent hip-hop and R&B musician by releasing several solo albums. In 2008, his debut EP “Hot” gained huge success in the local music industry, making the lead-off single “Only Look at Me” one of the most popular songs in the summer of 2008.
But since his first full-length album “Solar,” Tae-yang hasn’t completed any solo work for about four years.
The star’s soon-to-be-released studio album was first announced through a two-week promotion for the hip-hop track “Ringa Linga,” whose official music video gained more than 16 million views on YouTube.
The “Rise” CD will be available June 10.
