01. Lollipop

After months of waiting, the said to be “the Female Big Bang” group , 2NE1 debuts with Lollipop, a collaboration with R&B group, Big Bang!
The song starts off with a sugary voice singing a poppy “lollipop” line but later stops, and turns to a more aggressive tune that carries a heavy beat, and some dance synth. With the given title, I was expecting more of a sugary pop song  because of how poppy the title sounds but, when I listened to it, it was completely different from what I thought it would sound. Well, of course it is because I can’t imagine Big Bang singing poppy songs like what I imagined. Instead of the sugarland song I was expecting, I got a less-poppy, hypnotic, and catchy song that got stuck inside my head, the first time I heard it. I liked how different this song sounds because I didn’t think that Big Bang could give this a Big Bang touch, even though it remained a bit colorful at times. I was quite surprised too because it’s the first time I ever heard TOP singing at a song. I knew him as the rapper of Big Bang, so it’s quite good to see his different side through his singing. It was also a great idea that each member of both groups were given solo parts because I got to hear more of them, especially 2NE1, sice this is considered as their debut. Definitely give this song a try! It’s really really cool!
