I think it’s time to let the sun shine – I couldn’t have said it better myself.
I have been ready for Solar for two years and now it’s here. Prepare for some ridiculous fangirl reviewing :)
Let’s start with SUPERSTAR, one of the many upbeat songs, the combination of beats and horns make it a little different. It sounds pretty uplifting and great for summer. His falsetto in this song shows so much improvement, I love it. The first thing I really noticed about it was that it’s very catchy, from the first time I heard it, I pretty much knew the first verse and chorus. There’s some Usher inspiration I suppose, I didn’t notice it myself but you could say that :)

Next up, I NEED A GIRL
Now, as this is the title track I was very excited for this song. I love the mellow beat, it’s the kind of song I’d play with the roof down on a scorching day or just a song to relax to. I was a bit put off at first because I remember in an interview Taeyang didn’t want to keep going on about not having a girlfriend, so when I saw the name of the track, I was a kinda like hmm BUT when I heard it I was like wow it’s just a really nice song! Of course, G-dragon makes it extra special which is a sure winner for those crazy VIPz :)

Moving on, JUST A FEELING, I love the melody of this song, again the beats are perfect for summer, I can see my friends and I dancing and singing to this in the street, because that’s how we roll. I hope he performs this, because I can visualise screaming fangirls during the yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah bit. His voice just has improved so much it’s crazy =D

Roll on, YOU’RE MY. Can I just say, when the teaser came out so many girls I knew, whether into KPOP or not, young/old, asian/white/black/mixed LOVED this song haha it was crazy, I saw ‘you’re my chocolate, my sweetest chocolate‘ everywhere. This song just makes you melt! His voice is like effing velvet, it’s gorgeous. I’m so sad that it’s only 2.49 long but I guess it’s better than having it too long and losing that sensual-ness lol. It’s just a beautiful song. He could hypnotise a lot of girls with this song. One of my definate favourites.

Time for MOVE, this is another favourite of mine. I’m repeating myself but I love the beats in this song, I can see myself dancing to this at the bust stop by myself while some old people stare at me like WTF? An MV for this song would be really good, I can imagine a lot of great choreography. Teddy’s rap is just awsome, I hope there’s no issues with his innuendos ;)

Lemme BREAK it DOWN now, again the beats rock. it took me a while to accept this song because of the unecessary auto-tune even though it’s a little. Auto-tune is for people who can’t sing. Taeyang CAN sing. This is definately a car song, I can see it now. This song would have amazing choregraphy and I would so learn it.

The penultimate, NEEGA JAMDEUN HOOEH (After You Fall Asleep) this became my favourite teaser, I don’t know about everyone else but I really like the Michael Jackson noises haha he does them really well. The beats of this song blows me away. This is an all-rounder song, it’s great. This is really good for clubs I think and just anything in general.

The last track, TAKE IT SLOW. Ahhhh I LOVE this song! It MIGHT just be my favourite. I could fall asleep to this song it’s THAT soothing. The piano piece is the perfect addition. His voice is just… I don’t even have words for it anymore. <3333333333333

Over all, this album was well worth the wait and well worth your money, my copy is in the post as I type =D This album will be really successful and hopefully he wins a lot with these songs. The only thing I’m worried for is promotion time – I hope it doesn’t hinder him. I’m happy as well as a load of Taeyang fans all over the world =)
