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.

[OSEN=이혜린 기자] YG Entertainment announced on the 19 that girl group 2NE1, who has been creating sensation before their imminent comeback, will release a new album that includes new songs “COME BACK HOME” and “GOTTA BE YOU” on the 27th.

YG’s head Yang Hyun Suk posted the announcement on YG’s blog on the day and said 2NE1 will change the time for the release of their new songs to 0am on the 27, two days later than the original schedule which was set at 0am on the 25. The album will be released on March 7 as originally planned.

Yang went on to say, “The reason why the schedule has been put off is because we decided to release the new album on a more meaningful day. In the second regular album of 2NE1, three songs composed and written by CL for the first time will be contained and as it happens, February 26 is CL’s birthday. We ask for your understanding”.

He also added a detailed explanation about 2NE1’s new songs.

The first title is “COME BACK HOME”. Yang explains, “Since the title is the same with Seotaiji And Boys’ ‘COME BACK HOME’ that was super famous, many people may think of that song. But 2NE1’s ‘COME BACK HOME’ is a totally different song that has the lyrics and melody of a woman missing her lost lover”.

Then, Yang said, “The song is co-produced by YG’s main producer TEDDY and other producers. The genre is cross-over in which a variety of elements of R&B, reggae, and hip-hop are mixed”.

An unplugged version of the song will be also contained in the album. Because the two versions have totally different atmosphere, two different versions of music video will be made. All of them will be disclosed on the 28.

The second title is a song titled “GOTTA BE YOU”. According to Yang, “This song with a quick tempo is co-produced by YG producer TEDDY and PK. It is equipped with a popular appeal and the melody of the main part in which BOM cries ‘GOTTA BE YOU’ leaves a very strong impression”.

Total four music videos have been created for 2NE1’s new album. Yang announced, “On the 28, two versions of ‘COME BACK HOME’s music video will be disclosed and then, the video of the other title ‘GOTTA BE YOU’ and another music video of “HAPPY”, which was shot in the United States, will be disclosed in turn”.
