[TV Daily reporter Kim Jin-seok] Taeyang has finally unveiled his new music.<\/p>\n

The Black Label released a sampler video on its official social channels on the 16th for Taeyang\u2019s fourth full-length album, Quintessence.<\/p>\n

The roughly three-minute clip features snippets of the lead single, LIVE FAST DIE SLOW, alongside excerpts from the album\u2019s ten tracks, paired with striking visual sequences.<\/p>\n

The sampler highlights Taeyang\u2019s distinctive vocals as he shifts effortlessly across genres, and it underscores the album\u2019s organic pacing\u2014from hard-hitting beats to smooth R&B\u2014across its ten tracks.<\/p>\n

Taeyang has scheduled his fourth studio album, Quintessence, and its lead single, LIVE FAST DIE SLOW, for release on the 18th, and he\u2019s been rolling out a steady stream of teaser material. A music-video teaser that channels intense performance and kinetic energy is expected to reaffirm his standing as a consummate, all\u2011around artist.<\/p>\n

A previously released comeback documentary explained why the team chose Quintessence\u2014a word meaning \u201cessence\u201d\u2014as the album\u2019s title and central concept.<\/p>\n

Taeyang\u2019s fourth studio album, Quintessence, and the title track LIVE FAST DIE SLOW will be available on music platforms at 6 p.m. on the 18th.<\/p>\n
