[Exclusive] 2NE1 “Ugly” Preview
Just a few weeks ago, 2NE1 expressed themselves with the swaggering “I Am The Best,” and then the resentful “Hate You.” But they perhaps saved their most surprising track with the unexpectedly self-mocking follow-up, “Ugly.” Slated to be released at midnight on July 28th, 2NE1’s “Ugly” is full of self-contempt yet it’s plotted with light and upbeat rock sounds, giving the fans a completely new look of the group. Deviating from the hip-hop and electronic sounds they established in earlier tracks, 2NE1 attempts to expand their horizons with this rock-heavy single, exemplifying their musical talent and versatility.
