G-Dragon's crazy comeback

The comeback of the year would be no other than the King of K-pop G- Dragon. After a long 3 years hiatus G-Dragon is back with his first mini album 'One Of A Kind'. The online release will be on September 15th while the album release will be on September 18th. As soon as YG Entertainment revealed the album tracklist on their official 'YG Life blog', it gained much attention. Firstly because GD has produced all the songs and because many various artists are participating such as Tablo and the new YG's girl group who is still anonymous. The title track of the album will be 'CRAYON' which is the shortened version of 'CRAZY ON' derived from the combination of ‘CRAZY + G-DRAGON’.
As written above G-Dragon made his comeback on August 24th with the song 'One Of A Kind' a hip hop, r'n'b song with a mv full of symbolism. On the first day the mv gathered 2 million views and a total 10 million views in one week. The lyrics of the song show how popular, talented and ambitious GD is and how he creates buzz around his name, make every other artist be afraid of him. In the same time though they show the sensitive side of him as he makes clear that he has been criticized a lot for his work and actions and that he needs the love and the support of his fans in order to continue to make music and be a great artist. At the end of the mv you can see Taeyang making a guest appearance doing what he is most known of : Dance!


But it wouldn't be the comeback of the year if G-Dragon didn't surprise his fans by releasing a 2nd mv one week later after from 'One Of A Kind' mv. 'That XX' is a balad song with a slow and gentle melody. The mv and the lyrics tell the story of an unfullfilled love as GD plays the role of a man who is in love with a girl but she loves someone who is unsuitable for her. In the mv G-Dragon is the 'bad guy' when he's covered with tattoos and the 'good guy' when he is not covered. Also in the mv the lead girl is Jennie Kim from the mysterious YG's girl group. 'That XX' filled the fans with curiosity because YG revealed a picture showing that the mv and the single are not suited for those under the age of 19. Despite this fact the single achieved a 'perfect all-kill' on music charts and has gathered 4 million views in 4 days. Well it seems that G-Dragon is truly One of a kind!
