I won't go into the details of his blood group, birthday and everything. Haha. But he's only 56Kg! And he's freaking built!
Hot is the first solo mini-album that is released by Tae Yang on 22 May 2008. (Yeah I know I'm slow.) He is also the first member from the Korean Band, Big Bang to release a solo album.
Track Listing:
1. Hot-Intro
2. Prayer ft. Teddy
3. Look Only at Me
4. Sinner
5. Baby I'm Sorry
6. Make Love ft. Kush
If I'm not wrong, the first song that was released was Look Only At Me.
Look Only At Me
[8.5/10]
I don't like the starting when he sounds like he's whining. But the music video just made the song a notch higher. There's actually real meaning behind the song if you looked at the English translation but he's vocals flow smoothly through the song. And the dancing is superb.
Prayer ft. Teddy
[10/10]
Instant Classic. This was the song I was addicted to. Look at the video at 1.43. He's got the cool techno-dance thinggy on. On the other hand, I think too many singers are going topless to attract people. The video's good with the dance and everything but I think people should follow the music rather than how the person looks. Look at the YouTube comments given and they are filled with so many sexual comments. =/
And I don't like the rapping part. It sounds very extra.
Hot-Intro
[8/10]
Short and Sweet. Nice.
Sinner
[7/10]
Not really my type of song but it still has a catchy tune that you can groove too. But its not something that you will really get addicted to.
Baby I'm Sorry
[9/10]
Another love song that has a great feel to it. Tae Yang did a fantastic job making this song sound like a really apologetic yet love-sick song. A song you should listen to.
Make Love ft. Kush
[8/10]
Great track. Great tune.
On the whole, this album is worth buying. If it is released in Singapore that is. It's a great debut solo mini-album for Tae Yang and if he continues to produce albums of this quality, he's gonna be as famous as rain. And he sounds really good when singing live also!
He used to be a rapper but has become a lead vocalist for his band, Big Bang. I'll review the band in time to come. No worries.
Oh. I just want to add more catgories for my reviews.
