this is not just because T.O.P, even in BIGBANG days, always favored being a ‘different’ performer (moreso it’s successful public image continuation): rather, it is so telling how his new 2026 debut (!) album “ANOTHER DIMENSION” is even more artistic, outside the box, groovy, unpredictable, trippy, interesting, fun, strange, carefully crafted, catchy, funky, immersive, offbeat, reflective, playful, well-mixed, versatile, expressive, and classy. time and again idols going their own way will often reward listeners plenty if they can stomach the lack of large-scale promotion - which is why it’s important for us to be on the lookout for artists with less big corp publicity - with no-skip-song creativity. remember hanbin’s 2021 songs, illa illa was perfect. now besides a blast from the BIGBANG past finally being back to life with his famed voice gracing the scene again T.O.P matured heavily from doom dada and it’s been over ten years. listening to ANOTHER DIMENSION in one sitting, he’s grown into a giant with Topspot, the name is the game. he lands a lot of punchlines in a thousand switching flows and patterns while keeping all kinds of electronic melodies intact. the yg heyday nostalgia is real, but even if you’ve never heard of him this is a great listen. he easily bridges past TOP into this new era, in fact. i rate the album, music from tabi sending love to fans is definitely needed right now. it’s multilayered and immaculate 5 stars material. the trap-heavy alternative soundscapes of this almighty ‘TOP 2.0′ are next level. i’m not exaggerating, it was 100% worth it for him to return.
