K-pop artist Jay Park made a highly-anticipated return on Tuesday with his latest studio album, "The One You Wanted," which boasts a total of 20 tracks, including nine new songs and 11 previously released singles. This album marks Park's first venture back into the R&B genre in eight years, following his successful fourth studio album, "Everything You Wanted," which garnered critical acclaim and multiple awards. Despite the unconventional move of including a larger number of tracks compared to typical K-pop albums, Park explained that these R&B songs had been in the works for seven years, emphasizing his commitment to artistic growth and development. Park's decision to release an album with over 20 tracks was a deliberate artistic choice, aimed at showcasing his musical evolution and maintaining a high level of creativity despite the challenges of managing his own label. He strategically released the album tracks as singles to ensure each song received proper attention from the public. Additionally, Park expressed his desire to distance himself from relying solely on flashy performances, emphasizing his priority of connecting with audiences through his music rather than physical appearances, highlighting his dedication to his craft and his confidence in the enduring quality of his work.
