YG Entertainment‘s CEO and founder, Yang Hyun Suk, revealed that the release date for 2NE1‘s new album is February 24th : Blackjacks the wait is over!
The title of the album is “CRUSH” which has multiple meanings. It can refer to having a crush on someone, as well as breaking and destroying. This album is to compose of 10 complete songs that according to Yang were selected very carefully as though each song were a title song – aiming for pure perfection.
On an official blog post Yang wrote, “Is it because we had fans waiting for too long? Just hearing the name 2NE1 makes our hearts throb,” and added, “2NE1, who made a debut 6 years ago, will be unveiling a full album with many new songs for the very first time. 2NE1 released their first album 4 years ago in September 2010, but it was an album with just a few new songs added to the previous single soundtracks. So this is the first time in 6 years for the divas to be unveiling an album full of new songs.”
CL was given the chance to prove herself a great song-writer/composer as 3 of the 10 were all created by the baddest female exclusively.
Proudly Yang commented on her skill, “You are the ones to judge the quality of her music. But when I first listened to CL’s very own song, the one word that described my feeling was “surprised.” Which is only natural, because I have known CL for 8 years and I never expected her to produce a song like this, and the song was too good to be her very first one.”
He also hinted, “The long preparation time means there are many songs besides the ones included in the 2nd full album, so other members’ solo songs initially planned to be included in the latest album are currently put aside for the next album. And as we expect CL to be more actively writing and composing, there should be no problem in releasing 2NE1’s next album and CL’s new solo album before this year ends.”
The girls will officially embark on their second World Tour at Seoul Olympic Park SK Handball Arena on March 1 and 2!
