After all the controversy, after all the wait, the boys are back - and what a comeback it is. A totally new image for all of them including new hairstyles, dress style and changed looks. The most surprising is Daesung who currently rocks G-Dragon's famous full blonde locks. Taeyang has an updated haircut which stands even higher than before, perhaps this is an indication of his age in the industry. But the most important bit is that BIGBANG is back, and the unfortunate events with Daesung and G-Dragon have been for the better. The group explained earlier on in an interview that these events have strengthened the group, making them go back to what they love, re-evaluating their passion to remain a boy band. This shows in the music video, particularly because it reminds of us scenes from "Haru Haru" and "Lies" where the boys drive around cars, lots of running scenes and unconventional to the industry standard of bright lights and dance moves.
But enough of the background check, the song BLUE is a chilled piece including guitar and a synthetic piano and beats. Overall it is an easy listen, reminding me of some American soft rock tune. It's chilled, I'll give you that. What's most surprisingly is T.O.P, who actually sings more and does quite a good job of it with his rusky voice. Hats off to the boys, expecting more things when their album officially drops on March 2nd.
