Big Bang recommends............
Big Bang shares their music recommendations on Naver’s Musician’s Choice:
This is the second album released by N.E.R.D in 2004.
G-Dragon: “I listened to this a lot when I was working on our album (which took about 2 years and 6 months). The album also has sentimental songs. It’s the best album I can recommend to our fans because the quality of the songs in it is really good. Also, like Pharrell Williams as a singer and producer. Why? Because whether he’s working on his own or with Neptunes, he is still able to show his unique charm.
I recommend this album because of the dreamy feeling it gives. When I listen to ‘Wonderful Place’ from the album, I feel warm, both physically and mentally. If you’re going on a trip, try enjoying this song with your eyes closed.”

“I recommend the soundtrack of Ray, where Jamie Foxx played the role of Ray Charles. The album consists of soul and blues music, plus some exciting rock n’ roll songs composed in 2005.
For me, Ray Charles’ music has always been inspiring. I started listening to his songs when I was in 5th grade and I have been a big fan ever since. His songs are so full emotions that I get so absorbed into his “soul” music. I find his songs really inspirational and even if I’m the rapper in the group, I still find something similar with his music and mine. I also recommend watching the movie since it will give you a better experience when you listen to the songs.”

This album was written the famous singer-songwriter in 2010. R. Kelly is one of Billboard’s top 50 R&B artists for the past 25 years.
“Although there are a lot of R&B artists known as legendary figures, R. Kelly is the one who excels when it comes to singing R&B songs that have hints of soul. Also, even if there are many R&B artists who each carry their own color, I think R. Kelly has this ability to attract people who are not familiar with this type of music. The album also incorporated some classic elements in it and I recommend it to those who are tired of mainstream electronic songs and miss soul music.”

Crowned as the master of R&B and Soul, Eric Benet released his 5th album in 2010. The album contains songs from the soul ballad genre, which was popular in the 70s. It also has amazing songs with collaborations with female vocals.
“I love him and if he ever comes to South Korea, I would definitely watch him perform live. When “Sometimes I Cry” was released, I was so moved by his singing and thought, “How can someone sing a slow jam song this beautifully?” I anticipated for this album a lot and as expected, his voice and singing technique became deeper and stronger.
“Sometimes I Cry” is the song that no matter how many times I listen to, I still feel how it has the perfect combination of falsetto and his original voice. Eric Benet is definitely one of my favorite singers and you can really learn a lot of things from this album.”

Bruno Mars won the “Best Pop Male Vocalist” at the Grammy Awards this year with his debut album.
“Although he’s not that famous in South Korea, he gained a lot of popularity with “Nothing On You” with B.O.B. He’s the type of singer who can sing with a lot of emotions. He is able to express himself just by the music alone. I love “Just The Way You Are” and “Marry You”, which are both love songs and have beautiful lyrics. Listening to them lifts up my mood. Also, since all the songs are produced with real sounds, it’s very comfortable to listen to them.”
