Article: LA Times – “Review: 2NE1 Showcases K-pop’s Bright Future in America with ‘Crush'”

2NE1 showcases K-pop’s bright future in America with ‘Crush’

la-et-2NE1

K-pop has turned a corner in America. It’s gone from an underground Internet sensation to a genuine influence. The South Korean rapper G-Dragon has collaborated with Diplo, Missy Elliott and Skrillex; now the all-female quartet 2NE1 is the latest to shoot for a mainstream U.S. pop presence. “Crush” has one foot in each country’s pop music: K-pop’s neon melodies, with sounds from America’s trap and bass-music scenes. It’s the most coherent LP to come out of this generation of K-pop.

2NE1 pulled a Beyoncé with this record, keeping it secret until release day (It worked. “Crush” sold 5,000 copies for K-pop’s best debut in U.S. history on the Billboard 200). Singer-rapper-writer CL gets the album’s best track in “MTBD,” which is billed as a solo cut. It’s an eerie, 808-destroying stomper as good as anything on rap radio in America right now. “Crush’s” title track is a deliciously trashy electro-pop banger; “Come Back Home” tosses Atlanta trap drums, pop-reggae guitars and Robyn‘s bleary-eyed pleading into one song and makes it work. 2NE1’s softer side is convincing too: “Happy” is just as catchy as Pharrell’s single of the same title, and G-Dragon penned the regal ballad “Good to You.”

Commercial smash or not, “Crush” is doing more important work than crossing over — it’s ushering in K-pop’s future, in America and everywhere.

News: 2NE1 Tops Melon’s ‘Top 20’ Album-Artist Chart for 5 Consecutive Weeks

YG-LIFE: 2NE1 TOPS MELON’S TOP 20 ALBUM-ARTIST CHART FOR 5 CONSECUTIVE WEEKS

2NE1-30일-인기가요서-살아봤으면-해-부른다

[OSEN=권지영 기자] Girl group 2NE1 is exerting their potential by topping music-streaming website MelOn’s “ALBUM TOP20” chart for five consecutive weeks. 2NE1 has also been topping “ARTIST TOP20” chart for five weeks in a row, proving their high popularity.

2NE1’s second full-length album “CRUSH”, which was released at 0am on February 26 this year, first topped weekly “ALBUM TOP20” for the week from February 24 to March 2, and then has been in the No.1 place of the chart for five consecutive weeks until the week from March 24 to 30.

Plus, 2NE1 has been in the top place of “ARTIST TOP20” chart for five weeks in a row during the same period, too, which shows that 2NE1 was the most loved Korean singer during that time.

2NE1’s second full-length album swept the No.1 on music charts upon its release. “COME BACK HOME”, one of the double title tracks of the album, took the top place, while most of the other tracks enjoyed a big popularity, being placed in top 10 ranks on the chart of ten major music-streaming websites in Korea.

Furthermore, 2NE1 has made a success overseas, too, as they have achieved the record-high ranking on Billboard’s album chart for the first time for a Korean pop singer, with “CRUSH” entering “Billboard 200” chart at 61st place.

Meanwhile, 2NE1 has been actively performing their new songs since the release of the new album. They are to meet Chinese fans on the 11 this month, at Shanghai concert of their world tour.
