2NE1 Disclosed Track List of Second Regular Album… CL’s Contribution to the Album is Significant
[스포츠조선 이정혁 기자] The track list of 2NE1’s second regular album “CRUSH” has been disclosed. 2NE1 is to release their second regular album, four years after the first one.
The track list of 2NE1’s new album that was disclosed on the 19 at 10pm on YG’s official blog (www.yg-life.com) shows that 2NE1’s leader CL has greatly contributed to the new album.
CL composed or wrote the lyrics of three songs including track No.1 “CRUSH”, “IF I WERE YOU”, and “BABY I MISS YOU”. She also wrote the lyrics of her solo tracks “MTBD” and “SCREAM”. As such, CL exerted her talent as a singer-songwriter, composing three songs and writing the lyrics of five songs among total 10 songs of the new album.
As CL now takes part in songwriting, adding to her outstanding rap and vocal, expectations for a new change in 2NE1’s color are further heightening.
Some titles in the track list arouse curiosity. The interesting titles include “COME BACK HOME”, a song that has the same title with Taiji & Boys’ “Come Back Home”, which was the title track of Taiji & Boys’ fourth regular album that created sensation in 1995, “GOOD TO YOU”, which is totally contrary to CL’s solo single “THE BADDEST FEMALE”, and “MTBD”. The titles alone are enough to catch eyes as much as the songs themselves are.
Notably, title track “COME BACK HOME” is a cross-over song with a mixture of R&B, reggae, and hip-hop elements, which was made by YG’s main producer TEDDY and other YG producers together. An unplugged version of the song is also contained in the album, which is drawing all the more attention from fans.
For the new album, YG’s leading producers were all called out. It is expected to be an album that well expresses YG’s color and 2NE1’s character, with contribution by TEDDY who has been working with 2NE1 since the team’s debut, CHOICE 37 who has written BIGBANG’s “BAD BOY” and G-DRAGON’s “ONE OF A KIND”, and PK who wrote BIGBANG’s “MONSTER”.
“COME BACK HOME” and “GOTTA BE YOU” have been selected as the double title of 2NE1’s second regular album and the music of the album will be disclosed on on-line music-streaming sites at 12am on the 26. The off-line album will be released on March 7 and total four music videos have been made to entertain fans.
Meanwhile, 2NE1 holds the Seoul concert of their second world tour “ALL OR NOTHING” on March 1 and 2 at Olympic Park SK Handball Hall located in Seoul.
