K-pop superstar G-DRAGON has just made his long-awaited comeback with a brand new single, titled “POWER.”
Sticking with the high energy and infectious sound that he’s become known for, the newly released track highlights G-DRAGON’s undeniable vocals slicing through several infectious beats. Co-written by Tommy “TB Hits” Brown, Theron Thomas, Steven Franks, and the former BIGBANG member himself, “POWER” also marks his first solo record since his 2017 self-titled EP, ‘KWON JI YONG.’
“POWER” manifests the essence of music,” says the K-pop icon — with the track also marking his first release under independent music label EMPIRE. “G-DRAGON is a cultural force that has laid the foundation for K-Pop’s global dominance,” says Ghazi, the founder and CEO of EMPIRE. “This partnership reinforces our mission at EMPIRE to work alongside artists that will shape the future of global music.”
To accompany the release of the track, a special music video to “POWER” was also released. Check it out below:
G-DRAGON first made waves as a member of YG Entertainment‘s iconic boy band BIGBANG, which debuted in 2006 and quickly gained international acclaim for their innovative music and style. He released his solo debut in 2009 with the album Heartbreaker, which showcased his unique artistry, earning him critical and commercial success and establishing him as a leading solo artist. Following BIGBANG’s hiatus, he continued to push musical boundaries with solo projects like “Coup d’Etat” and collaborations that blended genres, solidifying his reputation as a trendsetter in fashion and music.
Just recently, fellow BIGBANG member Taeyang was able to reunite with fellow members Daesung and G-DRAGON himself on stage. The trio performed “We Like 2 Party” — a friendship anthem from their 2016 album MADE, while Taeyang and G-DRAGON also took the stage for a performance of their track “GOOD BOY.” The latter marked G-DRAGON’s return to the live stage after seven years, and was received with positive acclaim for his seamless performance and innate stage presence.
