The beloved YG Entertainment producer Teddy, said that 2NE1‘s 2nd full album “Crush” will be music that is “long-loved“.
On the phone interview conducted by Star News on February 26th, Teddy was very confident about 2NE1’s upcoming full album, saying, “2NE1 has been loved with many songs, but being unable to stray away from those hit songs can hinder them from going further,” and, “So despite the risks, we decided to create a song that will last.”
He also added, “There are so many ‘instant’ songs these days, and I and 2NE1’s members and other producers decided to focus on a song that will last.”
When asked of the concept, he described it best as colorful, “2NE1 was able to showcase electronic, hip-hop, R&B, reggae and more, and the latest one is also a mixture of many. But it doesn’t look messy. It naturally blends all the different kinds of music 2NE1 can take in.”
The preparation and dedication for this album took as long as it did for the fierce quartet to release their work. Teddy commented, “Out of 10 songs, some were produced in 2 to 3 weeks, while other ones took 2 and a half years.”
The title song off the album “Come Back Home” is said to be identical to that of Seotaeji and Boys, that group founder Yang Hyun Suk was once a member in. “It has a hint of reggae with melody. It’s sentimental.” When asked why it’s named the way it is, he said, “I liked the word HOME more than COME BACK. I realized how good this phrase is.”
Teddy also commented on CL‘s producing skills, who on the album, showcases 3 of her very own exclusively written and composted songs. “There are only 3 in this album, but there are about 20 songs she wrote and composed. She works very quickly and produces good music. She does this despite her young age. She’s very talented. She often shows me her songs, and I can say for sure that she is good at producing and she possesses her very own musical mind.”
When asked about 2NE1’s chart success he commented, “I often fail to predict correctly. The listeners will judge the album.”
Despite this, he sounded immensely satisfied that the album took 2NE1’s genuine talents and their colors. “You can have your expectations high for each song in the album. We put so much thought into them, so I hope people trust us when they listen to the songs”.
