In a similar move [to John Legend's "All Of Me"], BIGBANG vocalist Taeyang makes a statement by stripping himself of all gimmicks, flashy elements — and a shirt — for an adult-R&B sound and simplistic video with "Eyes, Nose, Lips." It's the lead single off the K-pop star's new full-length album "Rise."

Taking cues for the song's aural elements, the accompanying "Eyes, Nose, Lips" visuals begins simple with a shirtless, shadowed Taeyang. At first, the video almost looks as if it's going to pull a D'Angelo "Untitled" on the viewer, but Taeyang's full body is revealed — with pants — as he continues his way through the track.

Fans of BIGBANG and 2NE1 will be happy to hear Taeyang team up with his labelmates on the album too: Fellow BIGBANG member G-Dragon features on the emotional hip-hop/R&B hybrid "Stay With Me" while listeners can hear the voice of CL of 2NE1 on funky, dance banger "Body." The tracks come together for a solid body of work, cementing Taeyang as one of K-pop's rare R&B stars.
