2nd MINI ALBUM
2007-11-22In late 2007, BIGBANG rose to fame with their hit single "Lies," establishing themselves as one of the hottest acts in the industry. They followed up with their second mini-album [Hot Issue], which promised an even more powerful explosion. At the heart of it, all was BIGBANG's leader G-DRAGON, a talented singer-songwriter who had already made a name for himself with his first single. He continued to shine as a composer and lyricist, delivering the hit song “LIES” within a year of their debut. With even greater creative drive in this second mini-album, G-DRAGON took on even more responsibilities, composing five of the six songs, writing all the lyrics, and producing all the tracks. The result was electrifying, with the title track "LAST FAREWELL” showcasing G-DRAGON's signature blend of strong beats, trance hip-hop rhythms, and fresh melodies and lyrics. The album also features several potential mega-hits, including "Crazy Dog," a standout track that samples the legendary Taiji Boys' "You in My Fantasy." BIGBANG's rendition of the song is a testament to their musical prowess, bridging the 15-year generational gap with impressive synthesizer sounds that will appeal to fans of both BIGBANG and TaijiBoys. "FOOL" is another noteworthy track, adopting the Shibuya-kei style and extending the influence of "LIES" with its sophisticated piano arrangement.
