2NE1 has started its round of teasing for its upcoming album, “Crush“!

The first teaser features member Sandara Park who always surprises fans with bold hairstyles, and this time is no exception. In the image, her hair is electric and vivid blue, and she wears a beanie over it that is reminiscent of Seo Taiji‘s iconic look for his song of the same name as 2NE1′s newest title track, “Come Back Home.” Yang Hyun Suk was part of the group Seo Taiji and Boys when “Come Back Home” was released. Dara sports a tough, hip-hop look in a oversize, sleeveless top. She doesn’t stare into the camera, but her gaze is hard and unforgiving, enhancing the overall concept image.

“Come Back Home” is one of two title songs from 2NE1′s new album; the other is “Gotta Be You.”

2NE1’s second album “Crush” is due to be released online on February 26 at 12:00 AM KST (technically February 27), with the offline release date scheduled for March 7.

Review: 2NE1 ‘Crush’ Listener Reviews Album Songs! ‘Come Back Home,’ ‘Happy,’ ‘Baby I Miss You,’ ‘Mental Breakdown,’ And More!

Recently, 21 lucky individuals had the rare chance to preview and listen to “Crush,” the upcoming full album by 2NE1.

And thanks to one of the individuals, we now have preview descriptions of the 2NE1 album, song by song, starting from the eponymous song “Crush.”

Reportedly, “Crush” is a fast upbeat song like “I am the Best” and “Can’t Nobody,” and has a “mysterious atmosphere.”

“Come Back Home,” has previously described on YG-Life, has a pop, reggae, R&B fusion feel.

“Once you listen to the song, you’ll have the understanding of why it’s the track of the album. It’s a very fresh song, and the verse and chorus are very memorable. The members’ vocals were amazing in the song,” writes wotad1 on AllKPop.

“Gotta Be You” allegedly runs along the veins of “Go Away” and “Love is Ouch,” and features a Bom chorus that is supposed to be very memorable.

“Hope to Live” is a slow R&B song like “Lonely,” “It Hurts,” and “Missing You.” Listeners praised 2NE1 member Dara’s voice a lot.

“Good Girl” has the theme similar to CL’s solo single, “The Baddest Female,” and is a mid-tempo R&B song.

“Mental Breakdown” is the CL solo song included on “Crush.” It is a hip-hop song through and through which showcases CL’s rapping skills.

“Happy,” much like the title implies, is a pop song which left the reviewer feeling fresh and bright.

“Scream” is the Korean version of the Japanese single by 2NE1.

“Baby I Miss You,” reportedly, is going to be a fan favorite.

“There wasn’t a person at the event that didn’t like the song; their reaction to the song was good. It’s like a very chic and fashionable woman, it gives off a more matured and sophisticated feel of the songs found in the first mini-album (like the girl in the first mini-album grew up into the woman in this song).”

“It’s a song that you’d want to listen to over and over.”
