Jay B on How New Album ‘TR.EE’ Transforms Personal Growth Into a Shared Experience
South Korean singer‑songwriter Jay B, former GOT7 leader, releases his new solo album *TR.EE*, a concept‑driven R&B project that uses the metaphor of a tree to map personal growth into shared experience. The record eschews the instant‑hit formula of streaming‑centric pop, opting for slow‑burn tracks like the lead single “Layback” that prioritize mood over immediate hooks.

Visually, the album adopts earthy, minimalist imagery to reinforce its introspective tone.
