The King of K-pop G-DRAGON is back with Übermensch!

G-DRAGON returns with ‘Übermensch’, first solo album in 12 years

Released on Tuesday, February 25 via Galaxy Corporation and EMPIRE, the new album marks the rapper’s first solo release in 12 years, complete with eight new tracks.

“‘Übermensch’ means ‘Beyond-Man,’ representing an individual who transcends themselves. This album embodies the idea of presenting a stronger and more resilient version of oneself to the public. I hope this strength resonates with my fans through my music,” he said in a press release.

G-DRAGON also dropped the music videos for two new songs —“DRAMA” and “TOO BAD” — featuring Grammy-winning artist Anderson .Paak. The album also includes previously released singles “PO₩ER” and “HOME SWEET HOME,” with the latter featuring fellow BIGBANG members Taeyang and Daesung.G-DRAGON returns with ‘Übermensch’, first solo album in 12 years

Globally, he is also set to perform at the Head in the Clouds Festival in Los Angeles in May, and at the Singapore Grand Prix in October with co-headliner Elton John.

Other tracks on Übermensch include “DRAMA,” “IBELONGIIU,” “TAKE ME,” “보나마나 (BONAMANA),” and “GYRO DROP.”
