July’s BIGBANG: Both Sorrowful and Fun

[OSEN=최나영 기자] BIGBANG in July is expected to be sorrowful but fun at the same time.

The two title tracks for BIGBANG’s third album, “D”, of the MADE SERIES have been unveiled: “if you” and “SOBER.”

The announcement was made over 2 days on YG’s official blog on June 27 and 28.

“if you” is written and composed by GD, while PK who wrote BIGBANG’s “MONSTER,” and TEDDY and Dee.P who co-wrote TAEYANG’s “EYES, NOSE, LIPS” rearranged the track together.

With the light pinkish poster, the track “if you” is said to be a sentimental song. YG’s Executive Producer YANG HYUN SUK told OSEN during his interview that this is the saddest song out of all BIGBANG’s songs, which heightened expectations.

But “SOBER” is completely different. Unlike the sentimental poster of “if you,” the poster for this track features the five members dressed in minty suits running toward a pull-up bar in a field.

“SOBER” is an upbeat song perfect for summer, and as the two tracks are situated at both ends of the spectrum, fans are even more excited. This is BIGBANG’s first summer song in 7 years since they released “HARU HARU” in August 2008 as apart of their 3^rd mini album.

The poster of “SOBER” also unveils the producers involved. TEDDY, GD and T.O.P wrote the song while TEDDY, GD and CHOICE37 composed.

“LOSER” and “BAE BAE” from album “A” and “BANG BANG BANG” and “WE LIKE 2 PARTY” from album “M” have dominated the South Korean music industry in the full months of May and June. BIGBANG was the first South Korean artist to occupy the top two slots on Billboard’s World Digital Songs, proving borderless popularity.

While BIGBANG is gearing up for a return with their third single album, a “BIGBANG COUNTDOWN LIVE MADE SERIES Interim Check!” will be conducted at 11pm on June 30 through Naver. BIGBANG held a similar event for the release of their 2^nd single album on June 1 with the fans. Now as they are already getting ready for the third, and this “interim check” is to inspect their current performance. There is a session where fans are able to comment on themes each member could take if they were to be in charge of a TV program individually, and BIGBANG will answer or respond to those comments personally. This will be a great source of entertainment for the fans.

Meanwhile, BIGBANG will be in China’s Wuhan on June 28 for their World Tour “MADE.”
