2NE1′s C.L speaks candidly about working as a solo artist: “I want to break the stereotypes of Asian women.”

2NE1′s leader, C.L, recently revealed some of her thoughts about her solo album. In an interview with Billboard on February 18, she said that after her currently scheduled activities with the whole group, she plans to work solo for a while. She added, “Since a solo album will be part of my life’s legacy, I’d like to do it as an full EP rather than a single or mini EP. It’s most likely that I’ll work with producer Teddy from YG Entertainment, but I’d like to write some of my own songs as well.”
Before working solo, C.L will be back with new material by her whole group in April. She talked about her ambitions beyond music. She wants to take a part in breaking the common stereotypes of Asian women through the activities of 2NE1. She stated, “I would like to stand up for Asian women. I want to break the stereotypes. I want to let the world know that there are amazing, adventurous women in Asia as well.”
C.L also talked about the music that will be on the new album. “The songs will be the typical of the 2NE1 style—songs like ‘I Am The Best’ and ‘Can’t Nobody.’ The song ‘I Love You’ was a new kind of song not only for the fans but also for us. We’ll go back to the lively, fun yet different 2NE1 style.” She also mentioned that one of the songs on the EP will be a love song like “I Love You.” She explained, “It’s a slow love song about missing someone.”
