[article] Rain returns with Back To The Basic.
The Korea Times 4/6/2010 — Rain is back. He’s “Back to the Basic.”
“Hello, everyone. Rain is back with a ballad,” the 27-year-old told a roomful of reporters and photographers in Yeouido, Seoul, Monday. He has returned as a singer, after spending months traveling around the world promoting his Hollywood action flick, “Ninja Assassin,” and it was evident he was ready to further wow fans with yet another hot track.
“I needed to go back to where I started from. People have asked me why I wanted to release an album in Korea when I could continue acting in the United States. The reason is I could not forget my roots: my Korean fans. It was my duty and so that’s why I chose the title “Back to the Basic,”’ he said.
» Han Sang-Hee’s entire extensive article Rain Returns With Back To The Basic, on The Korea Times, is HERE. Read the specifics and Rain’s own views concerning the album, growing as a man, and big dreams.
“A singer has to evolve with transition; that’s what we should strive to do…”
“I wanted to make tasteful music, not so fancy and decorated. The songs are all based on my experience.”
“I’ll be wearing some accessories like bracelets, vests, hats and fake eyelashes. I was serious when I said I wanted a change!” he said, laughing.
“You can’t just release an album and make a big fuss over it. I would love to start immediately, considering my age, but I must follow the American way,” he said calmly.
“There will be failures but there will also be success. I’m dreaming big.”
Like we said… he knew exactly what he was doing. 🙂 A great write-up.
