BIGBANG singer Taeyang also makes shiny and uptempo K-pop on his own. Before his main group officially formed, Taeyang performed in music videos as a teenager, a preview of his solo skills. He'd get a chance to explore them more in 2008, when he started making polished and punchy pop songs highlighting his vocal abilities. He delivers sweet, piano-dotted R&B such as “I Need A Girl” and goes for harder-hitting EDM sounds on “Ringa Linga”. And he loves teaming up with friends, including BIGBANG associate G-Dragon and rapper KUSH.
