BIGBANG Turn Into Pop-Punk Stars on New Single "Sober"
Unless you don't use YouTube, by now you know BIGBANG can own any kind of electronic and rap track...but what about rock? Their new single "Sober" tests the waters.
Listen above to the K-pop phenoms' latest that replaces their usual pop beat with crackling percussion and cool guitars. From the opening chords, it sounds like the type of track that wouldn't be out of place on alternative radio or at Warped Tour. Even G-Dragon (who we can always count on for a blazing rap verse) is channeling his inner punk star with his bratty sing-song delivery, though T.O.P is still serving his usual MC swagger making this fit into K-pop's genre-bending world rather than punk-pop land.
