[Article] [YG Life] “BIGBANG Has Comeback Stronger Than 4 Years Ago” UK NME Gives Full Marks

BIGBANG 빅뱅 Articles April 08, 2022 Hits: 354

[동아닷컴=전효진 기자] Group BIGBANG has taken over the public with their new song ‘Still Life’ which they released in 4 years, along with having their musical abilities recognized.

On the 6th (local time), UK’s renowned music review platform New Music Express (hereinafter NME) shed spotlight on BIGBANG’s new song ‘Still Life’ and gave 5 stars out of 5.

NME said ‘Still Life’ “Is a memoir. It has all life’s joy and sorrow of growth and time. It gifted music fans, who waited all this time, with hope”.

They then added “Although the new song doesn’t mention what will happen to BIGBANG now, one thing that is clear is that BIGBANG has comeback stronger and greater than before”.

NME mentioned both the vocal and rap part by introducing lyrics such as “Goodbye now to my beloved young days/ Our beautiful spring, summer, autumn and winter/ A seven colored rainbow slanted like a sneer/ Passed the seasons without maturing/ I can’t mature (Still)”, and said they portrayed the order of emotions through the lens of seasons from the past to present. NME further explained it’s a sentiment that’s familiar to fans, in particular with ‘Last Dance’ released in 2016 which says “I’ve gotten older so I/ Guess I become an adult/ Why am I so anxious”.

The platform stressed how G-DRAGON and T.O.P took part in the lyrics and composition process and said “Still Life’ excels at bringing out the unique vocal tones of each member, and the arrangement and flow of melodies leave room for listeners to look back on the song”.

U.S. critic magazine Rolling Stone also shed light on BIGBANG’s comeback and music. Rolling Stone said “The K-POP legend has come back. They made it clear that BIGBANG’s story hasn’t ended yet. Still Life is a legendary song that both portrays heartache and hope at the same time.

BIGBANG drew on the order of life that blooms and falls hopelessly through ‘Still Life’. It also expressed the concerns of the past and hope for the future. The beautiful melody and metaphorical lyrics, along with BIGBANG’s sincere storyline, makes all listeners look back on their life. This is why it’s being loved by so many music fans.

The song took the first spot on the iTunes chart in 33 different countries after it was released on the 5th, rocketing up to the top of the Worldwide Chart. It also swept music charts of major Chinese and Japanese sites QQ music and Line Music. It then took the first spot on Korean charts such as Melon’s Top 100 24 Hits, Flo, Genie, Bugs, and Vibe, keeping the title for 4 straight days.

2022. 4. 8.

[Article] [NME Review] BIGBANG’s ’Still Life’ is a bittersweet retrospection on growth and the passage of time

BIGBANG’s ’Still Life’ is a bittersweet retrospection on growth and the passage of time

The band’s much-anticipated comeback signifies the end of an era, but leaves fans wondering if there’s anything more left

Over the course of a tumultuous four-year hiatus, there seemed to be one question on the minds of fans everywhere: Where does BIGBANG go from here?

What the members have been up to as individuals haven’t exactly been hidden from the public eye, for the most part: G-Dragon has gone down the fashion route with collaborations galore, T.O.P started to make a name for himself as a young art collector, Taeyang has built a family of his own and Daesung’s has become quite the popular YouTuber.

In the face of line-up changes, numerous retirement rumours and hopes of a reunion dashed by factors out of their control (like, say, a global pandemic), the question persisted – but yet fans held on to hope. And one faithful day in 2022, their prayers were answered when YG Entertainment confirmed that the quartet would finally be returning to the spotlight.

BIGBANG’s much-anticipated comeback single ‘Still Life’ may not provide the answers most have been clamouring for, but it does want to let listeners know one thing: they’re not the same men they were four years ago, and they’re all the better for it.

Through the lens of the passing seasons, ‘Still Life’ honors the distance between where the group were four years ago and where they are now. For the BIGBANG of today, the glory days – selling out concerts, touring the world, back-to-back releases – are but a memory that the group hold near and dear. “Goodbye now to my beloved young days / Our beautiful spring, summer, autumn and winter,” Daesung croons in the second verse.

With production reminiscent of soft rock from the ’70s and ’ 80s, ’Still Life’ excels at bringing out the unique vocal tones of each member – an aspect that has long been lauded as one of BIGBANG’s strengths. The same laid-back arrangement that brings out Taeyang and Daesung’s rich vocals also leaves a lot of room for rapid-fire introspection from G-Dragon and T.O.P.

At this point, it’s worth noting that both rappers were heavily involved in writing and composing the track and, given the song’s theme overall, it isn’t much of a stretch to assume that their verses are heavily influenced by how the passage of time has treated both of them.

Rooted in bittersweet sentimentality, G-Dragon finds himself revisiting his own struggles with personal growth. “A seven-coloured rainbow slanted like a sneer / Passed the seasons without maturing / I can’t mature (Still),” he laments on the third verse of the track.

It’s a sentiment that’s familiar to long-time fans in more ways than one. Beyond the relatability of just how hard it can get to grow into one’s self, it’s an echo of a struggle he’s brought up in 2016 track ‘Last Dance’ (“I’ve gotten older so I / Guess I become an adult / Why am I so anxious”).

With his departure from longtime label YG Entertainment, it might not come as a surprise that T.O.P’s verse is one that comes off as the most personal. Here, he doesn’t shy away from referencing what the past years have looked like from his perspective – or acknowledging the uncertainty of his own future after promoting with a group for as long as he has.

“I’m leaving inspiration’s Amazon / Burying all the trauma from past nights,” T.O.P declares. “A round-trip ship running, risking its life to start anew / I’m going to change more than before.” His words, though, hit even harder knowing that the rapper has doubts about his future as part of the group.

Paired with a music video that doesn’t feature the four members in the same shot, or even on the same set, ‘Still Life’ is a recognition that the passage of time has brought each of them to different points in life. Though their individual growth is never portrayed as the group growing apart, the track makes clear that all this is a natural, if emotional, progression from where they were.

With ‘Still Life’, BIGBANG close a chapter of their lives that’s been left hanging for the past four years – whether or not this signifies a final bow from the group is something we’ll have to wait and see.
