Big Bang Since 2007

Remember when Big Bang and DBSK were the dominating groups in K-pop? The good ol’ days without autotune and people actually singing. Anyways, I like the original R&B sound that Big Bang had like with this album instead of their latest Japanese singles that are pretty much an autotune fest.

Big Bang debuted with ‘Since 2007’ , a album with heavy R&B influences. It was mostly written by G-Dragon, but he also had some help from the other members. The album was released December 2006. It sold 110,408 copies and reached the number 1 spot on the weekly charts. Continue reading Big Bang Since 2007
