Seungri just wrapped up promotions for “Gotta Talk To U” off his second EP Let’s Talk About Love, and this mini is by far the strongest release he has put out as a soloist performing away from his boy band duties with Big Bang.

“Love Box” is the outro track on the EP, a summery song with a slow-simmering start that transitions into a lighter bossa nova flavor, a departure from the aggressively dancey style that has defined Seungri’s solo ventures. Most of Let’s Talk About Love is quieter and more thoughtful than Seungri’s usual fare, and the songs show a willingness from him to loosen his boy-bander’s grip on dance pop music.
