The Black Label announced on the 16th that it has released a sampler video for the group’s fourth studio album QUINTESSENCE. The roughly three-minute sampler includes the title track LIVE FAST DIE SLOW as well as portions of ten tracks from QUINTESSENCE, visually interpreting the music. The video conveys Taeyang’s soulful vocal warmth, with a dynamic tapestry of tempos where fast beats and sweet R&B blend together like a cinematic sequence.

The release schedule is set. Taeyang will officially release QUINTESSENCE and the title track LIVE FAST DIE SLOW on the 18th at 6:00 PM.

This process is seen as enhancing the authenticity of a studio album released after nine years.

With this new release, Taeyang will offer fans a vocal spectrum spanning diverse genres and a powerful performance. Amid the anticipation for a studio album after nine years, all eyes are on what musical essence QUINTESSENCE will deliver.
