The BIGBANG singer was the first in his group to debut as a soloist back in 2008, and since then he’s been releasing a number of hit songs from ‘Wedding Dress‘, to ‘Ringa Linga‘ and ‘Eyes, Nose and Lips’ from his 2014 second album ‘Rise’ and has embarked on a successful solo career as well as being part of the veteran YG group.
Taeyang’s anticipated comeback had been pencilled in for the second half of the year following his longtime bandmate and friend G-Dragon’s second EP ‘Kwon Ji Yong‘ in June. Now he has returned today on August 16 with his third studio album ‘The White Night‘ with double title tracks ‘Wake Me Up‘ and ‘Darling‘ and has once again impressed with his vocals in the well produced album.
