Brian Joo's new album truly shows that he has been 'Reborn'. The first part of his 'Reborn' series includes "Taking Leave Of You", a track featuring the rapping of the most respected hip hop musician in the Korean music industry, Tiger JK. The song is by Jeff Hoeppner who produced f(x)'s hit song "Pinocchio" last year, and incorporates a lot of Brit-pop and the unique piano intro in the beginning sets the tone for the entire song. The song sings of a man who knows he can't change the past and tries to dust himself off to get back up again, but his whole body aches for her to return to him. The lyrics were penned by Tiger JK himself, and his impressive rapping does not disappoint.

On the other hand, "Can't Stop" was written by Brian's good friend and colleague Jay Park. The song has a completely different feel from "Taking Leave Of You" with Tiger JK, and the boys gave birth to a special joint that's trendy and leaves a strong impression on the listeners. The album was also well-rounded by other artists who have lent their voice, such as sweetbox's Jade Valerie, Aziatix's Flowsik, and top LA underground hip hop artist Dumbfoundead.

Without a doubt, Brian proves how much he's matured as a musician, and he delivers more emotion and a stronger message through this album, and fans are looking forward to seeing him soar in 2012. Check out some select tracks below and remember to support the artist by purchasing the music!
