THEY’RE BACK. THEY’RE BEAUTIFUL. THEY’RE FABULOUS!

In case you haven’t heard 2NE1 is back with the release of they’re second album “CRUSH” which consists of 10 songs. I don’t even know what to say, you need to hear this for yourself. It’s a new level of 2NE1.

I’ve listend to this whole album twice and I cant get enough of it, it feels like the songs on this album were catered for the strengths of EVERY member of 2NE1. “If I Were You” is one of my fave songs on this album and I love the way Dara’s soft, fresh voice was featured on this song, as well as in the song “Happy” which is an upbeat song that makes me think it should be in a drama.

One other song that focuses on the strengths of this group is “Good to You” which gives me a 90’s R&B vibe and shows off the vocals of my favorite maknae Minzy (still waiting on that Minzy solo YG ;).

“CRUSH” is also one of my faves that shows off the voice of main vocalist Bom Park. When I first heard this song it took me a while to pin point Bom’s voice but was surprised, her voice on this song sounds flawless. Her voice has a crisp sound.

And of course we can’t forget about CL’s solo song “MENTAL BREAK DOWN”. This is my second favorite song on the album and i’m so glad she waited to release the song on this album instead of as her debut song. “Mental Break Down” is very,very, very different than “The Baddest Female”. CL definitely shows of her rapping style on this song. Her delivery, timimg everything from the lyrics to the beat on this song are flawless. Definitely a song I can hear being played at a club. Ladies get your twerk on!

The album as a whole in my opinion is flawless, it flows smoothly, the transitions between the songs are clean. If I had to describe this album in one word it would be FRESH. From the vocals, to the transitions, the raps…everything is clean. As a fan of this group I am beyond excited for this release and happy that these songs are all really good. CL really showed off her skills in writing both the music and lyrics, the arrangement of the songs really showed off the members of 2NE1 and showed us exactly why we fell in love with them to begin with. If you haven’t heard this album I suggest you check it out. SPREAD THE WORD! 2NE1 IS BACK AND BETTER THAN EVER.
