Baddest Female CL Has Composed 3 Songs for 2NE1's New Album!!!!

[fantaesticbaby.livejournal.com]

“You are the ones to judge the quality of her music. But when I first listened to CL’s very own song, the one word that described my feeling was “surprised.” Which is only natural, because I have known CL for 8 years and I never expected her to produce a song like this, and the song was too good to be her very first one.”


YG Entertainment’s founder YANG HYUN SUK officially announced the date for 2NE1’s 2nd full album release, which is February 24th.

On Feb 13 through the official blog, YANG uploaded a passage titled “FROM YG” for the first time in one year to make the announcement. 2NE1’s 2nd album is the first one in 4 years since Sept 2010, when they unveiled their 1st full album.

YANG wrote, “Is it because we had fans waiting for too long? Just hearing the name 2NE1 makes our hearts throb,” and added, “2NE1, who made a debut 6 years ago, will be unveiling a full album with many new songs for the very first time. 2NE1 released their first album 4 years ago in September 2010, but it was an album with just a few new songs added to the previous single soundtracks. So this is the first time in 6 years for the divas to be unveiling an album full of new songs.”

The title of the album is “CRUSH.” While it can mean ‘break’ or ‘destroy,’ the word is also used when saying “having a crush on someone.” A total of 10 songs will be included, and according to YANG, they selected every song so carefully as though they were all title songs.

The 2nd full album will be unveiled at midnight on Feb 24 through online music sites, and it goes on sale offline in the following week. Their latest MV is the one with the biggest budget, and the grand scale video’s teaser will be revealed on Feb 24, and the complete version on Feb 28.

The focus of the album is CL’s very own songs—of the 10, 3 songs are written and composed by CL; her chance to unveil her talents as a singer/song-writer.

YANG extolled CL, “You are the ones to judge the quality of her music. But when I first listened to CL’s very own song, the one word that described my feeling was “surprised.” Which is only natural, because I have known CL for 8 years and I never expected her to produce a song like this, and the song was too good to be her very first one.”

He also hinted, “The long preparation time means there are many songs besides the ones included in the 2nd full album, so other members’ solo songs initially planned to be included in the latest album are currently put aside for the next album. And as we expect CL to be more actively writing and composing, there should be no problem in releasing 2NE1’s next album and CL’s new solo album before this year ends.”

He added, “2014 is expected to be a more important year than any other ones for YG… it is also a year where sensational four new groups of YG will be unveiled, after a very long period of preparing and training… I agree that this is not an easy task, so I choose to use the word “challenge.” And since it’s also risky, I say this is a “gamble” for us, but we are determined to achieve the goal. And the only way to reach the goal is to produce good music.”

Meanwhile, 2NE1 is set to kick off their 2nd World Tour at Seoul Olympic Park SK Handball Arena on March 1 and 2, under the title “AON (ALL OR NOTHING)”.

CL writing songs AND having a solo album this year? Solo album this year sounds too good to be true but I for one am excited!!! Bow to the Queen tbh

Wasn't there already a post for this?

But we knew CL was writing and composing so I'm glad it's included

[diet-pork.livejournal.com]

CL is not that fucking serious. Can we get real tbh. That baddest female song was wack as fuck

[spacecadet0.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but she didn't write it. I'm hoping her own compositions are better.

[iznanassi.livejournal.com]

Mte, hoping that maybe she won't write crap songs so I can actually take her seriously.

[lilmissniza.livejournal.com]

I love that we're getting an album of new songs and the fact that YG even lets someone other than Teddy compose for them, even if its CL, is a refreshing change I guess. I'm starting a prayer circle that her songs are nothing like TBF.And oh, another prayer circle hoping that they don't abuse Bom's voice no more.

And like any YG releases, won't be surprised if this gets pushed back also especially with the whole SM-YG hooha recently. But hopefully by miracles that won't happen.

[erbalurbal.livejournal.com]

i'm pretty sure Teddy still had a lot to do with whatever "self compositions" CL created. They all seemed shocked that TBF didn't destroy the charts so I don't really have a lot of hope. .

[spacecadet0.livejournal.com]

But Minzy solo when?

[magicpineapple.livejournal.com]

12th of never it seems T_T

[fireandbread.livejournal.com]

She's still pretty young. Bom and Dara have had their solos so it makes sense that being the leader and next in age, CL would do a solo now.

Minzy's only 19 in American years? I'm sure hers will come in a few years. I do think she needs some time to develop her own style cause as much as I am a fan, she doesn't have the charisma and image that CL has, that sets her apart from the rest.

[asnindie.livejournal.com]

I feel like at YG if you are constantly composing stuff then YG will give you a chance. I've come to like Baddest Female in an odd way but I hope her own compositions are better. Ngl I want something like Drunk in Love with TOP..

[babyonions.livejournal.com]

If something like DIL happens, idk if I'll survive. But yeees, do it!!!

[snoaz.livejournal.com]

aw, yeah :D

[cxxl.livejournal.com]

Yay for a member taking control of the creative process.
Now will it be good? That is the question.

[benihime99.livejournal.com]

Let me hear those songs then I'll tell you what I think
I'm tired of him talking and talking about the release I just want it
I feel like his words will bore the audience

[heartsolid.livejournal.com]

you always say exactly what's on my mind lol --- mte

[oppameansit.livejournal.com]

2ne1 album, solo album, world tour? sounds like a ton, but considering 2ne1 hasn't been doing much for the past year or so it's probably a good thing.

[babyonions.livejournal.com]

He's hinting about the next album which will come out in 2199 and it will have 12 songs composed and performed by CL and still no Minzy solo, meh

[hitthoselightz.livejournal.com]

i thought we already new this? lol

[iznanassi.livejournal.com]

I swear if anyone else did this much media play, netizens would come after them and their groups.

[asnindie.livejournal.com]

Netz are coming for YG but he's living off goodwill at this point

[robalunch.livejournal.com]

I can't wait for CL to beyonce 2ne1!!

jk

Get those royalties!

[racquelle2005.livejournal.com]

I feel like the only person who gives no shits about media play. Y'all act like its so damn annoying and its really not a big issue.

[fireandbread.livejournal.com]

Nope you're not the only one.

People in general just think it's cool to hate on YG for some reason.

[magicpineapple.livejournal.com]

so it's cl & her backup dancers now?

[benihime99.livejournal.com]

But only one of them can dance...

[bamboo.livejournal.com]

I don't even care at this point if the songs are shit or not. She can write and compose, and that gives me hope. She has to start from somewhere, and this is enough for now. I really want her to keep doing that, so that they're not 100% reliant on Teddy and whatever scraps they can scrounge from the rest of the YG producers anymore.

so other members’ solo songs initially planned to be included in the latest album are currently put aside for the next album
Which is Never Ever? UGH. Saying one thing and then backtracking again. I'm never surprised anymore but it still makes me annoyed. Are your pants constantly on fire, YG?

I think the reason why Minzy still hasn't had a solo yet is she doesn't seem to bond that much with the YG producers. Like Bom, she just goes to the YG building to do work, or work out, and doesn't really mingle like CL or Dara (when CL drags her to events) does, to her prayer groups, and then home. She doesn't have that much pull, and that's sad. I feel like she needs to compose it herself to make it happen. Get to it, Minzy!

Bom and Dara need to do that, too. Dara is always going on about she's still trying to think of what she can contribute to the group. With more new up and coming YG groups to debut, the girls need to step up their game and learn how to fend for themselves entirely.

iawtc

[taylorniw.livejournal.com]

4 years since their last album and it's going to only have ten songs?

[jjkk1993.livejournal.com]

MTE. Not pleased.

[atopworld.livejournal.com]

Well this post is worlds different from a SNSD one.

[canxi.livejournal.com]

I'm glad someone is starting to write and compose, though. Time to get the creative juices flowing and do your own thing. I know I've heard Cl talk about some 2NE1 songs that were big hits but weren't really her thing so I'd be interested to see more of her style included with the group stuff and within her solo work. I hope the other girls join in too. Dara seems to know how to play guitar so maybe she can help compose sometimes as well! O: I derno, I feel like they can do anything if they try and it would be so cool to have a girl group do that because I don't think there is among any of the bigger companies.

I know that she separates CL and Chaerin so I also want to see some Chaerin music...is that weird? Lol

"2NE1, who made a debut 6 years ago"

Since when?
2014-2009 = 5
