It has been a month since 2NE1 made their comeback. And their songs
are still heating up the music world. Apart from topping Mnet’s M
Countdown this week, the quartet is sweeping across music programs for
weeks in a row. But that is not the end. They are scheduled to branch
out to the world next month for their World Tour. International fans are
very excited as well. So where does the girl group get such powerful
energy from?
Sure, there are a number of sources. And one of them is the presence
of CL. 2NE1 will showcase “IF I WERE YOU” on March 30 on SBS’s Inkigayo.
This song from 2NE1’s latest full album is composed and written by CL.
Amidst the harmony of melodic piano and unique string sounds, the heavy
drum beats touch the hearts of the listeners.
When they appeared on KBS 2TV’s “Yoo Hee Yeol’s Sketchbook” on March
21, they showcased the exact song for the very first time on TV for the
curtain-call performance. The live performance led to a sensation where
the Internet users uploaded the “MR-removed video” on various
entertainment-related websites. Even the hard-to-please YOO HEE YEOL
complimented the four divas.
CL’s own work becoming one of 2NE1’s major songs is quite
significant. This can be linked to BIGBANG’s huge global success thanks
to its leader G-DRAGON who is talented in both production and planning.
Thus it is safe to say that 2NE1, whose leader shares similar talents
and qualities with GD, successfully upgraded themselves in terms of
their power and strength.
CEO YANG once told OSEN before 2NE1’s latest comeback, “It is just
the beginning for 2NE1. In the upcoming album CL upgraded her musical
talents by getting involved in composing and writing, and this will be
an important asset for 2NE1 for the next 5 years.”
He backed his argument with BIGBANG, YG’s 9-year-old group. “BIGBANG
solidified their brand and values by having such a talented music
producer GD as the leader, along with the members who showcased dynamic
solos.” YANG’s effort to pull out talents of planning and production,
composing and writing from the musicians once again worked as the
ultimate strategy for CL.
CL is also being recognized in the global pop market as 2NE1’s 2nd
full album “CRUSH” broke the record of K-Pop by ranking within the top
200 on American Billboard while SKRILLEX’s album in which CL was
involved ranked within the top 10 of Billboard 200. So it is no wonder
her song “IF I WERE YOU” is showered in spotlights all over again.
