Work by Teddy Riley who is Renowned for one of the World’s Three Producers and Michael Jackson’s Producer!

Releasing the Title Song and Music Video in Both Korean and English!

The best girl group, Girls’ Generation, who has been creating a worldwide sensation all around the world, will finally make a comeback.

Girls’ Generation will release the third album title song, ‘The Boys,’ through iTunes (Americas, Europe, South America, etc.) worldwide and through various music websites in Asia including Korea on October 4th. Also the full tracks from the album will be released on October 5th so it’s predicted to create a ‘Girls’ Generation Syndrome’ once again.

Also, this album is produced with ‘worldwide’ concept because of Girls’ Generation’s growing popularity not only in Asia but also in the world. They will reveal both Korean and English versions of ‘The Boys’ for the song and music video so it is expected to receive an enthusiastic response from music fans in the world.

Especially the title song ‘The Boys’ is written, composed and arranged by Teddy Riley, who was Michael Jackson’s producer and is considered as one of the world’s three producers. Teddy Riley was a member of ‘Black Street’ who has created the ‘New Jack Swing.’ He is currently producing Lady Gaga’s album and has been receiving worldwide reputation as the best producer so Teddy Riley’s work with Girls’ Generation is expected to make massive headlines.

Therefore, Girls’ Generation’s differentiated status and charisma which will be proved by the perfection of new songs, performances, producing technology based on SM’s global network system and Girls’ Generation’s developed abilities are enough to fascinate global music fans.

Moreover, since the third album, ‘The Boys,’ is Girls’ Generation’s new album, which will be released after the third mini album, ‘Hoot’ released last October, Girls’ Generation’s everything such as music, performance, style, etc. are predicted to become a hot issue.

In addition, Girls’ Generation has performed in overseas after they swept the grand prize at the end-of-year music awards in Korea last year. Girls’ Generation was the first foreign artist who recorded the highest sales of album by selling the first Japanese album over 680,000 copies and they ended Japan Arena Tour, which met 140,000 fans, in great success. Also, Girls’ Generation was first-ever foreign girl group to draw the largest audiences (31,000 audiences) at their solo concert in Taiwan and SMTOWN LIVE WORLD TOUR in PARIS was very successful. Girls’ Generation made these remarkable performances as the best girl group representing Asia so it is predicted to prove Girls’ Generation’s global status and influence with ‘The Boys.’

Meanwhile, starting with Taeyeon on September 26th (today), teaser images of members with new look will be released in order and it is predicted that music fans’ expectation and curiosity for Girls’ Generation’s new music and performance will grow.

소녀시대, 월드와이드 컴백!

10월 4일, 정규 3집 타이틀 곡 ’The Boys’ 전세계 동시 공개!

세계 3대 프로듀서이자 마이클 잭슨 프로듀서로 유명한 테디 라일리 작품!

한국어, 영어 2가지 버전으로 음원, 뮤직비디오 제작!

한국, 아시아를 넘어 전 세계적인 열풍을 일으키고 있는 최고의 걸그룹 소녀시대가 드디어 컴백한다.

소녀시대는 오는 10월 4일 정규 3집의 타이틀 곡인 ’The Boys(더 보이즈)’를 한국을 비롯한 아시아의 각종 음원 사이트는 물론 아이튠즈를 통해 미주, 유럽, 남미 등 전 세계에 동시 공개하는 것을 시작으로 10월 5일에는 앨범 전곡을 오픈, 다시 한번 ‘소녀시대 신드롬’을 예고하고 있다.

또한 이번 앨범은 아시아를 넘어 세계가 주목하는 걸그룹으로 성장한 소녀시대의 명성에 맞게 ‘월드와이드’ 콘셉트로 기획, 타이틀 곡 ‘The Boys’의 음원과 뮤직비디오를 한국어와 영어 두 가지 버전으로 공개하는 만큼, 전세계 음악 팬들의 폭발적인 반응이 기대된다.

특히 ’The Boys’는 마이클 잭슨의 프로듀서이자, 세계 3대 프로듀서로 손꼽히는 테디 라일리가 직접 작곡, 편곡한 곡이며, 테디 라일리는 90년대를 강타했던 ‘New Jack Swing’의 창시자 ‘Black Street’의 멤버로, 현재도 레이디가가의 앨범을 프로듀싱하는 등 최고의 프로듀서로서 세계적인 명성을 얻고 있어, 소녀시대와 테디 라일리의 만남은 더욱 화제가 될 것으로 보인다.

따라서 새롭게 선보일 소녀시대의 음악과 퍼포먼스는 SM의 글로벌 네트워크 시스템과 탁월한 프로듀싱을 기반으로 더욱 완성도를 높인데다, 한층 성장한 소녀시대 멤버들의 뛰어난 역량까지 더해져, 소녀시대의 차별화된 위상과 카리스마를 느낄 수 있는 최고의 무대로 구성, 글로벌 음악 팬들을 매료시키기에 충분할 것이다.

더불어 정규 3집 ‘The Boys’는 소녀시대가 작년 10월 말 발표한 세 번째 미니 앨범 ‘훗’ 이후 11개월 만에 발표하는 소녀시대의 새로운  앨범인 만큼, 음악은 물론 퍼포먼스, 스타일 등 소녀시대의 모든 것이 핫 이슈가 될 전망이다.

게다가 소녀시대는 작년 연말 한국 음악 시상식 대상을 석권한 이후 해외에서 활발히 활동, 올해 6월 출시한 일본 첫 정규 앨범이 무려 68만장을 돌파, 해외 아티스트 첫 앨범 사상 최고 판매량을 기록함은 물론 14만명 규모의 일본 전국 아레나 투어 콘서트를 성황리에 마쳤으며, 대만 단독 콘서트로 해외 걸그룹 사상 최다 관객 동원 기록(3만 1천명), SMTOWN LIVE WORLD TOUR 파리 공연 대성공 등 이미 아시아를 대표하는 최고의 걸그룹다운 활약을 펼친 바 있어, 이번 ‘The Boys’ 역시 각종 기록을 쏟아내며 소녀시대의 글로벌한 위상과 영향력을 입증시킬 것으로 보인다.

한편, 26일 (금일) 멤버 태연을 시작으로 새롭게 변신한 멤버별 티저 이미지를 순차적으로 공개, 소녀시대의 새로운 음악 및 퍼포먼스에 대한 음악팬들의 기대감과 궁금증은 더욱 증폭될 것으로 예상되며, 정규 3집 ‘The Boys’는 10월 5일 출시된다.
