JAY B to release a comeback album before going on tour
Before meeting fans on a bigger stage, JAY B will be releasing his second solo album, Be Yourself. The idol announced the comeback a few days ago, on August 29, with a video teaser of a smartphone UI. The teaser garnered a lot of attention as the news arrived unexpectedly.
Be Yourself, which is also his first solo album since leaving H1GHR MUSIC, will be released on September 21 at 6:00 pm KST. More details such as the concept teasers, tracklist, and other things will be released on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, leading up to the album's release.
Fans can naturally look forward to JAY B performing new songs on his Asian tour leg. There are also chances of him performing his latest single Rocking Chair live on stage.
Meanwhile, in a recent interview with Vogue Korea, the idol had talked about his desire to “make good music” and his motto that he learnt from Park Jin-young, JYP Entertainment’s founder. He had said,
“When I debuted as GOT7, [JYP Entertainment’s founder Park] Jin-young once said, ‘It’s most important to be long-lasting, but that’s the hardest.’ As time goes by, I keep thinking of those words. If I want to last a long time, I have to work hard and be consistent. In order not to disappoint people, I have to work hard. I have to be consistent for people to continue seeing my work.”
It will be interesting to see what new avatar the GOT7 leader will put in front of his fans at the Tape: Press Pause concerts.
