The King of Okay-pop has graced us with two new music movies on the day he returns along with his first solo album since 2017. We’ve already heard the funky Energy and nostalgic House Candy House, and at the moment’s stark Drama provided one other nuance in his creative palette. For the Anderson .Paak-featuring Too Dangerous, it appears all G-Dragon actually desires to do is let free and have enjoyable. I can’t say I blame him!

In some methods, that is the monitor that almost all encapsulates GD’s solo debut period. From its spoken intro to the enjoyable, colourful verses, there’s an ease and lightness to this music that looks like an artist merely enjoying round within the studio. It’s the slightest monitor of the 4 which have been promoted up to now, however can also have the widest mainstream attraction. Most of G-Dragon’s extra idiosyncratic vocal tics are smoothed over, leaving the hook to .Paak. In truth, Too Dangerous type of sounds as if it may have been a part of an Anderson .Paak album moderately than the opposite manner round.

Me being a large G-Dragon fan, I’m a bit grasping along with his musical time and never overly all for him ceding hooks to anybody else (except they occur to be a member of Bigbang, in fact!). Too Dangerous is boppy and vibrant and includes a pleasant video, nevertheless it doesn’t really feel like a definitive piece of his discography. At two and a half minutes, the music can also be over earlier than you realize it — by no means given the required time to grow to be the funk floorburner it may have been.
