Jay Park to visit Manila to promote ‘New Breed’
Korean singer Jay Park continues his love affair with the Philippines when he returns on May 4 to promote his latest album, "New Breed."
Jay Park, known for his iconic cover of the song "Nothin' on You," as well as his solo hits such as "Demon," "Abandoned" and "Tonight," visited the country last year to support MTV EXIT in a concert that aimed to raise awareness about the issue of human trafficking.
This time around, Jay Park intends to get closer to the Jaywalkers, his fans, through a series of mall tours and signing events.
Jay Park's latest album "New Breed" contains a total of 15 songs featuring a mix of R&B, dance, electro hiphop, and Euro dance sounds.
The title song, "Know Your Name," clearly reveals the new direction Jay Park wants to take. It's a tangible step away from the "idol" image he wants to shed and brings him closer to his dream of being seen as a serious musical artist.
In fact, he wrote 80 percent of the songs in "New Breed." He also worked with top U.S. producer Rob Knox, rap group Dynamic Duo and other artists to achieve the freshest sounds in R&B and electro hip-hop.
