Article/Feature: Editor’s Pick – “2NE1 Unveil New Smooth R&B Sound On ‘Crush’ With The CL-Composed ‘Baby I Miss You'”

2NE1 Unveil New Smooth R&B Sound On ‘Crush’ With The CL-Composed ‘Baby I Miss You’

Bhak-UXCQAAmAQX

For anyone familiar with the music of 2NE1, the words “mellow” or “smooth jam” aren’t usually the first words you think of.

That’s not to say they don’t have slow songs. The four-member girl group may have more ballads then they have dance singles.

But 2NE1 didn’t build their international army of devoted fan with slow jams.

They did with their fire, their flare for the dramatic and their impressive vocal ability.

Much like how Mariah Carey did her most listenable music at the end of the 1990s Jay-Z collaboration “Heartbreaker” after she had sung every pitch the human voice was capable of, 2NE1 seems to have crossed over into a new sonic zone.

And the slow jam suits them.

And though there are plenty of the group’s trademark fireworks on “Crush,” the group’s second full-length album, released on Thursday, (including those in the album’s title-track) the standout song would have to be the mellow but not melodramatic “Baby I Miss You.”

The song has a strong beat that will doubtlessly make heads bop, but there is something more underneath it.

With a somber retro keyboard sound that manages to have shades of 1970s groovy instrumentals by artists like Bob James along with the sound of 1990s R&B dance ballads like “Creep” by TLC, there is an understated emotion in “Baby I Miss You” that is quite powerful.

Like any great dish, music is all about the ingredients and 2NE1 and producer Teddy Park use some excellently selected grooves and styles to create something quite new and exciting for the group.

A lot of the credit should go to the group’s frontwoman CL, who stepped up and wrote three songs for “Crush.”

And considering Teddy claims CL has at least another 17 songs already waiting, this is a very promising new direction for 2NE1.

It’s been six years since the group debuted in a cellphone commercial with Big Bang. But one gets the feeling they are just getting started.

News: 2NE1 is Creating Borderless Sensation.. Sweeping No. 1 Places in 9 iTunes Charts of 7 Countries

2NE1 IS CREATING BORDERLESS SENSATION… SWEEPING NO.1 PLACES IN 9 ITUNES CHARTS OF 7 COUNTRIES

201402270812210410_1

[뉴스엔 황혜진 기자] 2NE1’s second regular album “CRUSH” is creating a tremendous sensation for two days in a row, sweeping top places in music charts in and out of the country.

As of February 28 at 8am, 2NE1’s “COME BACK HOME” is ranked in the No.1 place on the real-time chart of Melon, Olleh Music, Bugs, Mnet, Soribada, Daum Music, and Genie, while “GOTTA BE YOU” is in the first place in the chart of Monkey3 and Naver Music. As such, 2NE1 is demonstrating an extraordinary popularity with their new songs placed in the No.1 place in total nine music charts.

2NE1’s new album is also No.1 in the iTunes album chart of seven countries: Brunei, Finland, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, and Hong Kong.

2NE1’s new album is released four years after their first regular album. Not only the title tracks but also all the songs in the new regular album were complimented by YG’s head producer Yang Hyun Suk to be the best-ever. And actually, the songs are receiving a rave review, as proven by nine of them still being ranked in top 10 places in real-time music charts.

2NE1’s new album is also recognized for a rediscovery of leader CL’s talent. CL composed and wrote the lyrics of total three songs, “CRUSH”, “GOTTA BE YOU”, and “BABY I MISS YOU” jointly with other producers and wrote the lyrics of her solo track “MTBD”. CL exerted her talent as a singer-songwriter by composing three songs and writing the lyrics of five songs among total 10 songs in the new album.

The songs that CL composed and wrote the lyrics for are enjoying a great popularity, which leads to recognition of CL’s big potential for further growth as a versatile artist.

Meanwhile, 2NE1 will disclose the performance of the songs in their second regular album for the first time, on the stage of the Seoul concert of their second world tour “ALL OR NOTHING”, which will be held on March 1 and 2 at Olympic Park SK Handball Hall located in Songpa-gu, Seoul. The off-line album will be released on March 7.
