2NE1 CRUSH Album

It's official the queens are back!!! Have you guys checked out their album? It is to die for! No seriously If I don't get my hands on this album I might just die! To be honest, 2NE1 havent really had a good comeback since I Am The Best, so I felt a little skeptical about how well this album would be. Let me just tell you, this is going to #bloup. This album truly serves its title justice. First and foremost, let's just give it up to CL for taking it into her own hands and actually contributing to writing some of the songs present on the album. Anyone can put words together and call it a song, but she actually put her feelings into it. You can tell just by listening to the lyrics. A true artist speaks through his or her creation and let me just say, CL I hear you loud and clear! Let's not forget to thank Teddy for taking care of the girls as always. Also GD, Masta Wu, and anyone else that contributed to the album, you guys are truly amazing. Let's get to the actual album!

1. Crush: They certainly crushed it! This song reminds me of their style when the first debuted. It gives off a fierce and proud feel, similar to that of Fire, Pretty Boy, and bit of I Am The Best. When I first heard the beat and "2NE1" I knew it was about go down. My absolute fave part is "They love cause I'm hot, they love me cause I'm cold, they love me cause I'm real, they love cause I kill!" I cannot wait until they release the MV for this. 

2. Come Back Home/Unplugged Version: The intro threw me off for a bit. I thought it was going to be some slow song like Lonely, but then when that reggae beat hit, I was gone! Oh I also loved the part after the chorus. It was a mixture of techno or dubstep and hip hop. (Trap maybe?) The unplugged version blew me away, especially after listening to the original version. It felt like an entirely new song, yet it was still able to give off the message just in a new perspective.

3. Gotta Be You: This absolutely has to be one of my favorite song off of the album. It was love at first listen(?) I love the transitions between smooth and hype within this song. The chorus especially makes you want to get up and dance. It's also so fun singing along to. I am beyond stoked for the live performances! 

4. If I Were You: This song gives off a jazzy element. When I was thinking of how the MV would be (I do this for like every song I listen to) I imagined the girls singining their feelings out in a dark room or in rain ( My logic sadness=rain it just goes together...). I can definitley see minzy doing some fancy dancing with this song.

5. Good To You: This song is just so....words can't even describe it. Is it just me or does the piano remind sorta remind you of Disturbance by BoA? Just me? ok... This song is the type of song where you look and gaze out of your window while riding in a car. Am I right?

6. MTBD: CL, CL, CL....Stop being such a wonderful artist.Why do you have to do this to me? I don't know how much longer I can go not seeing you performing live. I am so jealous of whoever gets to see you perform this song. I thought Baddest Femal was good this just killed it. I'm seriously having a mental breakdown over the epicness of this song.

7. Happy: This song really suit their voices. They should do more songs like this. Idk it just really compliments them. I can see them doing something like the 21 musical performance for this song.

8. Scream: I was adicted to this song when it first came out in japanese and I'm addicted to it now! At first i thought it was going to be awkward switching the song from japanese to korean, but it wasn't. It flowed pretty nicely, for me at least, and it's nice hearig this song in their actual voice instead of pitched version due to copyrigths.

9. Baby I Miss You: I definitely missed you! this song is so addicting and it absolutely lets their voices shine. I really enjoyed Dara's and CL's voice in this song. And Minzy's...and Bom's... okay I loved all of them... The rap, the vocals, ahhh this group has it all!

  

 So Beautiful!

 She looks so fierce!

 My Bae <3

 Minzy is soo mature now! Its been fun watching her over the years.

I love 'If I Were You.' The ballads are amazing, and the rest of the songs are awesome.
I'm not sure if this will get me into their fandom, but I definitely try to support them by getting their album.
