KUALA LUMPUR: In the lead up to the release of his first solo Korean studio album on July 20, K-Pop sensation Seungri has been stirring fans up into a frenzy by revealing morsels of info on it.
According to Soompi, the 27-year-old singer-songwriter, record producer, actor and entrepreneur has been sharing a series of teaser posters online.
It started early this month when the fresh-faced artiste announced that the highly-anticipated album would be titled The Great Seungri along with its release date.
Then he later let on that the first song or title track would be 1,2,3! with lyrics written by Teddy and Seungri. Seungri also co-composed the tune with Teddy, Seo Won Jin and 24.
Fans went crazy when he later revealed that his second ditty or sub-title track Where R U From, would feature WINNER’s Song Mino.
The two artistes co-wrote the lyrics, while Seungri worked with Future Bounce to compose the new song.
More recently, he divulged the tracklist, which consisted of nine songs, and also disclosed that Blue.D, iKON’s B.I and DANNIC would also be featured on the record.
In an interview, Seungri said: “The album is filled with vibes where I can party like crazy with you guys. I worked with the composer who wrote the Billboard hit to Camilla Cabello’s Havana!and also with famous foreign DJs.”
Seungri gained international success as one of three vocalists and youngest member of the South Korean group BigBang.
Under YG Entertainment, the Korean musical phenomenon has since become one of the biggest best-selling boy bands in the world.
Seungri kicked off his career as a solo artiste back in 2008, after releasing his debut single Strong Baby.
The talented artiste also released a popular Japanese album Let’s Talk About Love in 2013 and two hit EPs V.V.I.P (2011) and Let’s Talk About Love (2013).
In conjunction with the release of his upcoming album, Seungri will perform in his first solo concert in Korea after debuting as a member of BIGBANG 12 years ago.
He has indicated that he will be joined by a live band and a DJ.
