My first words while listen to it: what a masterpiece! The leader of Big Bang is simply wonderful :)
People raise their so-very-high expectation to him but he never failed to jump off the bar. G-Dragon’s new album is just tooooo right! Nuanda dark terasa betul di album ini, sesuatu yang berbeda dari musik GD di album sebelumnya yang cenderung riang. Bagaimana menebak arah musik GD? Dia selalu membawa warna musik yang baru di setiap lagunya. Here we go, Coup D'Etat Album, album with many international artists collaborating. Muncul dengan teaser yang membocorkan sedikit cuplikan lagunya berjudul Shake The World, GD memulai "pemberontakan"-nya.
Shake the world. I’m back, the master of the kingdom. Zoom in your ears, the high-handed GD (Shake The World, GD)

Shake the world. I’m back, the master of the kingdom. Zoom in your ears, the high-handed GD (Shake The World, GD)
“People, the revolution will not
be televised. The revolution is in your mind. The revolution is here” (Coup D’Etat-GD)
Single kedua yang langsung mencuri
perhatian saya adalah R.O.D (Ride Or Die). Berduet dengan Lydia Paek--si multitalented jewel,
GD menyuguhkan irama electro-reggae-dubstep yang adiktif. Oh my, Lydia Paek's voice on the
loop is so addictive. Lydia simply brings this song into another level.
The way you got me turned up.
Never give up boy even when they try us. You and me against the world. (R.O.D-GD
ft Lydia Paek).
Nomor duet dengan Missy Elliot
tak kalah mencuri perhatian. Korean most popular rapper meet hiphop legend, Just like
Hip meet Hop! Diperdengarkan pertama kali Di LA, rap GD-Missy blended very
well. Melodi lagu tradisional Korea menyusup dalam lagu membuat kesan modern-tradisional berdampingan dengan manis.
Girls are all freaky freaky, why?
Because of this Missy Missy here yeah.
Boys are all jiggy jiggy, why? Because of this GD GD here yeah (Niliria-GD ft Missy Elliot)

Melodi “Dududududududududu, dudududu ohohohohoh”
tiba-tiba terngiang-ngiang di telinga saya. This song to be blamed! Hahaha, Who
You adalah keresahan ketika seseorang yang kita cintai mencintai orang lain. Lagu ini kembali membuktikan olah vokal GD. Tak hanya fasih rapping, GD bisa bernyanyi dalam tempo non-rap.
Congratulations, you met another guy in the meantime. I hope
it goes well. It’s a little too early. It only matters to me if you’re happy. But
I’m getting mad baby (Who You- GD)
Nuansa dark terasa benar di lagu
Black. Just another medium tempo RnB song of GD but this time sounds deeper. Meskipun
beratmosfer perih, lagu ini dibungkus dalam melodi yang renyah. Jennie Kim, artis yang tak kunjung debut tetapi wira-wiri di lagu artis-artis YG, ikut "memperkeruh" suasana lagu ini. Untuk versi reff dengan bahasa Inggris, GD berduet dengan Sky Ferreira. This song totally blackened my heart. hihihi
Real name for love is definitely
hate. Hope and disappointment are parents of despair. Before I even know
there’s a shadow on my face. How did I not know that it came from the light
called you. Between you and me time has stopped for a long time (Black-GD Ft
Jenny Kim/Sky Ferreira)
Irama kemarahan karena patah hati? Crooked membuat siapa pun teringat bagaimana memori tentang patah hati. Just a brilliant-upbeat-sentimental-song of GD.
Tonight, for me please be a friend. This good day, beautiful day, the day I'm missing you. Tonight I'm crooked (Crooked-GD)
Kolaborasi lain yang mencuri perhatian saya adalah I Love It (feat Zion. T, Boyz Noize) Bergenre dubstep, for some reasons lagu ini mengingatkan saya pada lagu-lagu milik Michael Jackson. Dan Zion.T please his soulful vocal T.T
"Where did you come from? Why did you appear now? How can you be so perfect? I'm always in awe when I see you"
