YG Entertainment recently announced that residential R&B superstar and Big Bang vocalist Taeyang would be releasing a new song titled ‘I’ll Be There’ in English and Korean, both featured on his repackaged and translated ‘Solar’ international album. Ready to hear it?
Well, well, well…what have we here, Tae-Tae?
First off, the English is kind of hard to pick up. While I was listening to this, I was either focused on understanding what he was actually saying or trying to make sense of the musicality of it and still piecing together his gibberish. Okay, I’m exaggerating a little, but c’mon - the man used auto-tune on top of his not-so-clear English. It gets confusing, guys.
A couple of months ago we saw Taeyang release ‘Solar,’ which wasn’t bad, just not as awesome as most of us expected. It had it’s moments, so I wasn’t so sure what to anticipate with his brand new song. But having listened to it already, I have to say that it kind of made some of the songs on ‘Solar‘ sound like child’s play. It’s a classic Taeyang song, with smooth transitions and vocals, and abusive auto-tune galore.
‘I’ll Be There‘ has a steady instrumental and it’s working for me. It doesn’t overshadow Taeyang, yet it does it’s job by adding a nice effect to the whole feel of the song. His singing isn’t outstanding, it never has been, but what he does do is work to the best of his ability with what he’s got and that’s something worth appreciating him for. I would have liked the processing to be non-existent during the verses because it’s the meaty sections of the song and he could have played even more with his vocals in those areas. Other than that, there’s not much to cover about his voice.
I can’t help but think this sounds like Usher Version 2010. It would, actually, since he’s Taeyang’s one and only, but I think he’s walking right on the line of being inspired by Usher in his music and sounding identical to him. As an Usher fan, you’d think Taeyang would have realized that his idol kind of got lost in the woods this year with songs like ‘OMG’ and that one with Justin Bieber. I know we all agree that Usher from his ‘Confessions‘ days was the man, right?
Oh well, Taeyang kind of did Western music better than Western stars with this song, anyway, so yeah. STILL NOT GROUNDBREAKING OR EPIC, but not bad at all, baby.
Here are both the English and Korean versions of ‘I’ll Be There’. Enjoy~!
