‘Star of the stars’ G-Dragon has finally released his first full-length album in 11 years.

Big Bang‘s G-Dragon released his third full-length album ‘Übermensch’ on the 25th at 2PM. It has been a full 11 years and 5 months since he released his second solo album ‘Coup d’état’ in September 2013.

The album‘s name ‘Übermensch’ refers to the ‘Superman’, which philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche presented as the ideal human being. According to his agency, Galaxy Corporation, ‘Übermancy’ contains G-Dragon’s will to become “a someone who transcends himself, not someone else.”.

The album contains a total of eight tracks, including the pre-released ‘Power’ ‘Home Sweet Home’, as well as the title tracks ‘Too Bad’, ‘Drama’, ‘Take Me’ ‘Bonamana’. G-Dragon is known to have participated in the entire album production process, including producing all the tracks and personally determining the detailed composition of every song and the overall concept of the album.

The star lineup that participated in the album is also more splendid than ever. Korean-American pop star Anderson Paak not only wrote the lyrics and composition of the title track ‘Too Bad’, but also featured as a vocalist. The track ‘Take Me’ features a deep resonance with a heavy guitar solo by world-renowned guitarist Nile Rodgers.

Both inside and outside the music industry, attention is focused on G-Dragon‘s final achievement, who had already signaled a ‘solo’. The title track ‘Too Bad’ swept the top spot on major domestic music charts such as Melon, Bugs, and Genie Music in just one hour after its release.

In addition, the other tracks also succeeded in ‘lining’ by making it into the top 10 of the charts. Since the pre-released ‘Power’ ‘Home Sweet Home’ in October and November last year are still popular even after 4 months, the possibility of G-Dragon’s ‘long-term chart dominance’ is also high.

Meanwhile, G-Dragon will also start his world tour ‘Übermancy’ at Goyang Stadium on the 29th and 30th to coincide with the release of his album. It will be his first solo concert in 8 years since his world tour in 2017.
