Non-mainstream T.O.P’s ‘Doom Dada’ stands on top: What does this mean?
BIGBANG’s T.O.P is attracting a lot attention by sweeping music charts with his song ‘Doom Dada’ that seemingly would not appeal to the public.
It's quite rare for such a song to rank high on charts, because songs that appeal to the general public normally dominate music charts. A song this difficult to understand and peculiar maintaining its top position for more than a day is indeed bizarre.
Since its release at noon on Nov 15, ‘Doom Dada’ has been on top of eight major music charts and is keeping its position. The rap is hard to follow, the song reeks of dreamlike ambiance, and the sound is simply strange. The music video is even more peculiar. Considering all these factors, a truly mind-boggling phenomenon is happening in the music world.

BIGBANG, a group of five boys with five distinct colors first appeared before the public 8 years ago, in 2006. They have grown far beyond just an idol group, and they are evolving further to become real artists. TAEYANG (his real name Dong Yong Bae), 25, is the lead vocalist with his so-called ‘weighty’ presence in the group. But the word ‘weighty’ could mean something similar to ‘taciturn’, making him appear less individualistic.
But in 2008, he cracked out of the shell to be the first to make a debut as a solo artist among the BIGBANG members. His solo debut song ‘Only Look At Me’, an outcome of public appeal and musical talents, definitely elevated his status as an artist while also helping BIGBANG’s reputation. His solo song was a testament to his accumulated, well-polished musical talents.
The follow-up songs ‘Wedding Dress,’ ‘Where You At’ were also very well-received by music lovers, and one aspect that became clear is that TAEYANG is different when he pursues music as a solo, to when he does as part of BIGBANG. He has his own distinct territory. So it is when TAEYANG is out in the public as a solo, where the fans can see the real him.
And now TAEYANG returns for the first time in 3 years with the 2nd full album. ‘Ringa Linga’ released in advance on Nov 8 contained rhythmic and powerful rap, and a hip-hop beat with classy melody. His hip-hop swag was so clearly incorporated into the song, while also showing off his unique singing style. He has set himself apart from BIGBANG, but he also set himself apart from his pervious self. What could have possibly happened in the last 3 years?
