Taeyang talks about working with Tablo on "Tomorrow" [NEWS]



From Mnet:

Q: How did you end up featuring in Part 2’s title song “Tomorrow”?
TY: This song was recorded the first day Tablo-hyung came to YG. He let me listen to the song and suggested that it would be great if I featured on it. And I liked the song so much that we began recording immediately that day.

Q: Have you always been acquainted with Tablo?
TY: This was the first time working on music together, but I was aware that he had talked about me on broadcasts now and then when he was with Epik High. And I really like Epik High, too. I’m really happy that we’re in the same company now.

Q: Can you briefly introduce the meaning of the song ‘Tomorrow”?
TY: “Tomorrow” is about mourning the break up with a lover, saying “there is no tomorrow” until she returns. Being unable to move on from that moment and space, waiting for her to return.

Q: Now that you’ve done this, do you have plans to ask Tablo to feature in your next album?
TY: I can’t say anything specific yet, but I’ve been working on a lot of things with Tablo-hyung for the solo album I’m currently preparing. [We’re/I’m] working hard to produce good material, so please wait for it.

Q: And any last message?
TY: Tablo-hyung’s first solo album has finally come out. I’ve been listening to it every day, too, and it’s full of great songs. Tablo-hyung has returned with music after such a long time, and I hope you will all support him. And please listen often to the song I featured in, “Tomorrow,” too. Thank you.



From Cyworld:

Q: This is your first collaboration with Tablo. A lot of people have been looking forward to it – how did you end up working together?
TY: Actually, this collaboration on “Tomorrow” happened very suddenly. The day Tablo hyung came to YG for the first time, I was in the studio as always. Hyung let me listen to this song and suggested that it would be great if I featured on it. It was a really good song, and I thought it would be a cool project, so I recorded it immediately, right then.

Q: What was the feeling you got when you first heard “Tomorrow’? What kind of emotion did you try to sing with?
TY: The message I got from this song was one of despair, that “there is no tomorrow for me without you.” I tried to express that.

Q: What kind of work would you like to do with Tablo from here on?
TY: I’m working with Tablo hyung in a lot of directions/areas for the solo album that I’ve been preparing since the middle of the year. I can’t say anything in detail yet, but we share a lot of conversations about music. I think it’s going to be an important/precious relationship for me musically.



From Tablo's "notebook" on Cyworld:



“Ever since I first heard “Look At Only Me,” I dreamed of working with him on a song that I made. I felt a great surprise and gratefulness, and happiness, when the voice I like sang the melody and lyrics I had composed. I felt and learned a lot while working with Young Bae. More than anything… The way he would take time [out of his own schedule] to re-record even after I had already given an “okay” that it was good/complete. The way he would treat it as if it were his own song, working toward perfection. And the way he had such a pure, child-like love and joy for the process of making music. I was very moved, to the point of feeling embarrassed, thinking back to how I was full of pride and at times lazy.”

YB is so generous for taking his time to record this song for Tablo :) 

And how Tablo expressed his gratitude and admiration for YB and his work ethic! 
It's so amazing seeing two hard-working artists collaborating together and learning from each other. This article makes me anticipate YB's solo album more and more :D

TAEBLO FIGHTING! :P

I didn't think it was possible to love Taeyang & Tablo more than I already do but guess I was wrong. Everyone gets so caught up in fan-wars, awards, concepts, youtube views etc that it is so refreshing to read an article about two artists who just have a strong passion for what they do which is to make music.
I love the spontaneity of this collaboration for this song, to me it feels like destiny or fate that Taeyang happened to be there in the studio (as always - lol) and Tablo was there for his first day and they decided right there and then to do it.
Reading through this article, it excites me to see what the future has install for Taeyang as a artist, to have such a force as Tablo amongst the awesome producers/musicians that YG already has will further help him develop and become a better artist.
I simply love love love what Tablo wrote about TY and goes to show that not only was he impressed with him before he joined the company but now he has a stronger feel and respect for TY after this collaboration.
I think these two are my favorite Kpop artists at the moment, I can't fault them at all. 

Tamara Tran said...

Wait, what? O_O;

Some people are disappointed?
This is news to me -.-

Immabee said...

I've always thought that Big Bang and Epik High were a good fit so it's a dream come true that my favorite from each group collaborated. Been listening to Tomorrow and the rest of Tablo's album repeatedly! 

Also glad to hear an "update" on TY's new album! CAN'T WAIT!

jT said...

Now we can look forward to next year for a Epik High and BigBang collaboration :D

"~pure, child-like love and joy for the process of making music."
I really love it when artist, LOVE what they're doing.. its not just a mere job for them, but a craft they enjoy.
It makes me respect them more.

I know Tae is a perfectionist, but its great knowing he enjoys every step in creating his music =)

SOLvip said...

tablo has really found his new home, surrounded by amazing artist that put forth their heart and passion into all their music.

Pahuway said...

great people and artists indeed!!! *sigh*

Bluemaid said...

Some background: On Park Myung Soo’s Fun Fun Radio (080609)
Tablo answered a question from a listener about artists who motivate
him. He said:

“And the other artist is TaeYang of Big Bang. He recently
released his solo album. Gosh, he’s so cool. I love that type of music.
Of course it’s a bit different from the style of music we do but the
fact of the matter is, I think he is the first Korean musician who did
justice to R&B/soul music. So frankly I was a bit shocked when I
listened to his album. He’s just SO good. I mean, no kidding. We’re like
dinosaurs now!”

Chibicles said...

YG FAMILY! :3

anon said...

THANK YOU XD I was just about to try to find where Tablo had mentioned Taeyang before, so THANKS :D

N▲RNI▲ said...

Tablo just made himself a new fan!!! 
I never heard of Epik High. Will google their songs later :')

Noelle Poon said...

I love them too ^o^ they are the Twins similar of God & Top :) Sol & Tablo Fighting ! 

koalapanda said...

my dream come true...tablo in YG and collaborates with taeyang

Pat said...

i really like them

i love Taeyang and Tablo
>_<

wintersecrets said...

wow, love the interview(s) especially the parts where Tae says Tabo is helping him w/ his album and where TY says "I think it’s going to be an important/precious relationship for me musically." yessssssssss!!!!!!!
take as long as you need TY to make your album perfect. us fans will still be here :)

Avi Will said...

I'm really glad they collaborated on this song, it's amazing! I love Tomorrow :)
Taeyang and Tablo are both really great performers, welcome to YG Tablo ^^

fangirl. said...

I've seen that too! It's ridiculous. People know that Tablo has complete control over what goes into his music, and yet people come up with theories about how Tablo was forced to use Bae for a song. Now they know :)

Cyllene said...

Holy cow .. wasn't expecting to tear up reading this. Waaa!  That message from Tablo was so sweet.

VIP4Daesung said...

<3 <3 <3 <3 I hope eventually they can all get the chance to work with Tablo, if not as a whole group...would be amazing!

This--> "And the way he had such a pure, child-like love and joy for the process of making music"

This is a translation to Tablo’s comments about working with Taeyang. “Ever since I first heard ‘Only Look At Me’ I dreamed of working with him on a song that I made. I felt a great surprise and gratefulness, and happiness, when the voice I like sang the melody and lyrics I had composed. I felt and learned a lot while working with Young Bae [Taeyang].

Whimsical said...

Tablo joining YG is a two way mutual benefit and this shows to anyone who thought Tablo was 'selling out' or whatever unkind and unnecessary 'concerns' they had are unfounded. Tablo gets all the resources at his disposal and is surrounded by passionate artists who work hard, meanwhile everyone who gets to work with Tablo can experience working with (in my opinion) a lyrical genius and a grounded and thoughtful, expereinced, deep and quite wise man.

Their comments about each other give a good vibe and I hope they do produce more songs together and enjoy a great working and family relationship.

Doreen Araneta said...

 OH MY GOD!~
I'M SOO HAPPY TO FINALLY SEE THE MV!~
I just don't know the right words to express what I really feel.
it's like mixed happiness, excitement, awe, ETC.
TABLO & TAEYANG FIGHTING!!~~ <3

PrincelyLuna said...

Huh? Tablo's the one who chose Bae to feature in his song, who are they to be 'disappointed'? they don't think Bae is good enough? or maybe they are just dismayed by the fact that it's not their fav being featured by Tablo in the song.

juju said...

i always forgot to say this but, welcome to YG family Tablo :)

juju said...

i recommend you to listen to them! their song are always amazing. and my forever favorite from them is 1 minute 1 second. the lyrics are just so beautiful

yuzzels said...

juju said...

eelinglovesGD said...

BiGbAnGrOcK said...

who cares what other says. because the mv itself and also the song itself was great. to tell you the truth i never knew who was tablo but boy i liked the moment I saw his new mv BAD...they just jealous..TABLO ROCK and of course TAEYANG ROCK

Pollyana Coura said...

It's very moving to see their thoughts about their collaboration and about music in general. Tablo is one of my favourite artists and I'm very proud of him, that surfaced the bad time and created a very beautiful music.
Thank you!

Liliana Espinosa said...

leoyb said...

hi bluemaid, are you an admin here?

Syah said...

yea the man has always loved the voice of Taeyang.. and so everyone was wrong, Tablo himself asked Tae to listen to his song the first day he came to YG and suggested Tae sing in his song.. wow. they can say all they want but the truth is Tablo has always dreamed of working with Taeyang.

Syah said...

this year we had Team GG.. and now Team TT haha.. i hope Tomorrow can achieve the success "i had an affair" got.. that song was so huge on the charts then.

Syah said...

me too!!! i thought i was the only emotional one..

Syah said...

yups YB has his Tablo hyung now.. but i wonder what will happen to his Teddy hyung or his Choice37 hyung now haha.. but YB won't dump them for sure hehe.. remember how he sometimes stay over at teddy's house or hang out at his studio even though he doesn't have any recording.. and choice has been with YB alot recently too.. YB has so many hyungs and i'm happy he has another new awesome hyung..

Kimi Clay said...

What Tablo said about Taeyang is so sweet and touching.  I especially love this line "...he had such a pure, child-like love and joy for the process of making music".
