Singer T.O.P makes a glamorous return with his first solo full-length album.
T.O.P will release the full-length album '다중관점 (ANOTHER DIMENSION)' at 6 p.m. on the 3rd through various online music sites. At the same time, he will drop the music video for one of the double title tracks, 'DESPERADO,' launching full-scale activities.
'DESPERADO,' which unveils first, is a song that candidly and directly expresses moments of love. In particular, the music video was produced with a clean, minimal presentation so listeners can focus solely on the song's distinctive deep mood and T.O.P's delicate emotional line, offering listeners an intense sense of immersion.
The full-length album '다중관점 (ANOTHER DIMENSION)' contains a total of 11 tracks, including the pre-released 'DESPERADO' and another title track, '완전미쳤어! (Studio54).' '완전미쳤어! (Studio54)' is a new-style track based on house music with 1980s hip-hop sensibilities blended in, and its innovative sound structure and powerful beats add a fresh charm.
In addition, the album's diverse tracks—from the opening track that opens the album's narrative, '탑욕 (SELF CRUCIFIXION),' to '나만이 (THE GIANT),' 'OVAYA (A SMALL, FILTHY SHOW WINDOW),' 'ZERO-COKE,' 'Another Dimension Holy Dude !!!!!!!!!!,' '서울시에 사는 기분 (SEOUL CHAOS),' the fan track '꼬깔코온 (FOR FANS),' '연극이 끝나고 난 뒤,' and the ending 'BE SOLID'—boast an organic composition and are fully prepared to present T.O.P's unique world.
T.O.P personally participated in the overall production of the full-length album to enhance its completeness. In addition, engineer IRKO, who has won multiple trophies at the Grammy Awards, took charge of sound design and mixing for all tracks to create high-quality sound, and the album's overall tracks adopted Dolby Atmos mixing to realize a deep sense of space.
American living master painter Ed Ruscha and Cha Kyung-sun, art director for the Netflix series 'Squid Game Season,' participated in the overall album design and served as art directors for the music videos, and cinematographer Kim Ji-yong, who shot the Netflix series Squid Game Season 2, the film Decision to Leave, and The Fortress, joined as overall director for the title track music videos, making for an all-time production lineup that is one reason expectations are so high.
Through the full-length album, T.O.P is expected to show a concentration of the musical prowess he has built up. As can be felt from the album title '다중관점,' he aims to convey sincere messages he has not been able to deliver in various ways within the medium of 'music,' and he plans to firmly establish his presence as a solo artist.
Meanwhile, T.O.P's first full-length album '다중관점' can be heard on various online music sites from 6 p.m. today (the 3rd). The music video for '완전미쳤어! (Studio54)' will be released later.
