YG Entertainment/ M.Net Media

Producer: Teddy Park

2NE1 is a four member South Korean girl band. They are often referred as the “female Big Bang”.  The single “Lollipop” was officially recorded for a LG Cyon commercial; it does not serve as their debut single. Just as their male versions. they rap, sing, dance, and have a distinctive style.

Big Bang and 2NE1 collaborate very well. Usually, when I see collaborations such as this, the MV seems somewhat awkward. Like, they just don’t know what to do together. But, with 2NE1 and Big Bang being so similar and signed to the same label, they move smooth and like they’ve been together for years. The choreography is sharp and hip, but at the same time the girls are able to keep their sensual moves.

The song has a touch of electronica and hip hop mixed together brilliantly. I loved it how everyone had at least a line in the song. In most collaborations with multi-member bands, only leads sing while the rest are left to the chorus. CL, Bom, Dara, and Mimzy of 2NE1 and G-Dragon, SeungRi, Daesung, T.O.P,  and Taeyoung of Big Bang are all put in the spotlight, which to me shows equality.

“Lollipop” has climbed the charts quickly. It was in the #1 slot for 4 weeks on M.Net.
