BAP 8th Single Album [EGO]

Return Of The Classic.
BAP's eighth single album 'EGO', which started with the keyword 'self', was produced to mean that BAP, which had peaked in a rough and intense image, will return to its original form once again. Starting with the classic BAP style, it is a well-made album that shows the unique charm of BAP, from future R&B-based electronic pop and tropical house genres.

Back To The Real BAP
BAP's title song 'HANDS UP', which returns with a unique 'strong' concept, is a song with a message to break free from the prejudices that imprison oneself and find the 'I' as it is. The powerful trap beat and addictive lead synth sound create a magnificent atmosphere. It is an electronic hip-hop number from The b-side song 'MOONDANCE' is an electronic pop song with a dreamy synth sound based on Future R&B, and 'THINK HOLE', which stands out with a unique tropical house rhythm, is a pop song that melts the longing for the ex-partner with poetic lyrics.

B.A.P 8th Single Album [EGO]

Return Of The Classic.
'자아'라는 키워드로 시작된 B.A.P의 여덟 번째 싱글 앨범 'EGO'는 거칠고 강렬한 이미지의 정점을 찍었던 B.A.P가 다시 한번 본연의 모습으로 회귀한다는 의미로 제작되었다. 클래식한 B.A.P의 스타일을 시작으로 퓨처 알앤비 기반의 일렉트로닉 팝, 트로피컬 하우스 장르의 수록곡까지 B.A.P 특유의 매력을 엿볼 수 있는 웰메이드 앨범이다.

Back To The Real B.A.P.
유일무이한 '쎈' 컨셉으로 돌아온 B.A.P의 타이틀곡 'HANDS UP'은 자신을 가두는 편견에서 벗어나 있는 그대로의 '나'를 찾아가자는 메시지를 담은 곡으로 강렬한 트랩 비트와 중독적인 리드 신스 사운드가 웅장한 분위기의 일렉트로닉 힙합 넘버이다. 수록곡 'MOONDANCE'는 퓨처 알앤비를 기반으로 몽환적인 신스 사운드가 인상적인 일렉트로닉 팝 곡이며 트로피컬 하우스 특유의 리듬감이 돋보이는 'THINK HOLE'은 헤어진 상대에 대한 그리움을 시적인 가사로 녹여낸 팝 곡이다.
