After two years of hiatus, BIGBANG will comeback with a ‘mini album’.On 14th (today) YGE has released the teaser image of their new album on the official website with the comeback date stated as ’2011.02.24′ and the phrase ’4TH MINI ALBUM RELEASE’ .

BIGBANG will make their comeback with a ‘mini album’. After two years, why they comeback only with a minialbum - It is because they will incresase their frequency of producing albums this year and they will keep meeting their fans instead of only promoting a short period of time.

In an interview that G-Dragon did earlier, he said, “After we come back from Japan, we are planning to make one more album.” The teaser imgae shows the words ‘BIG BANG’ in the mouth of a skull with star-shaped eyes and the skull is also wearing a pair of headphone. It has stirred up the attention of the fans.

Big Bang to promote only one title track for comeback [NEWS]

Big Bang to promote only one title track for comeback [NEWS]

Debunking rumors about Big Bang making a comeback with a whopping six title tracks, YG Entertainment has asserted that the group will be promoting only one title track for their upcoming mini-album.

With eight days remaining until their great comeback, a representative of YG Entertainment confirmed on February 16th, “Big Bang’s album will only contain one title track.”

They continued, “Recently, YG artists have been coming out with more than two title tracks to allow their fans to listen to more songs. In Big Bang’s case however, though the album will be their first in two years, the group will be focusing on just one song in order to make it a big hit, just like their past songs “Lies” and “Haru Haru“.

The K-pop industry has been seeing many artists emerge from the studio with more than one title track for their albums. Considering how 2NE1 and GD&TOP kicked off their promotions with at least three songs each, many began to wonder whether YG Entertainment would carry on their trend for Big Bang’s highly-anticipated comeback.

YGE stated, “We’ve decided for Big Bang to carry on with just one title track, but we can’t yet reveal any concrete information about their title track yet.”
